Track of the Week - 18 June 2017
It was a very rare trip to a gig for me this week. What wasn't rare was who I sent to see - The Wedding Present.
They're a fantastic live act and I try to catch them at least once a year. This show, in Bristol, was part of a tour where they play their debut album, George Best, in its entirety (as well as other work from their 250 song+ back catalogue). One of the last times they'll do so.
The record, released in 1987, now sounds a little one-dimensional and is a whole lot less subtle than their more recent work. The songs certainly took me and my friends back to our youth (however briefly) and it's still enormous fun, especially live.
I've picked out the album version of my favourite track from the night. All This and More.
