Support band Project RNL were an extremely talented bunch of virtuoso musicians from Israel. The first track impressed everyone, clearly we were in the presence of 5 geniuses. but I felt thereafter the tracks were too avant-garde to be enjoyable. Too many styles and ideas were crammed into reasonably short tracks leaving me eventually bored with an entire lack of flow for over an hour (I also got the impression they were eating into valuable Ozrics time). If they reign in their creativity just a tad, they'll surely be amazing.
Throughout the entire show with both bands, the bass was too high.
I've seen Ozrics a fair few times. I am always particularly impressed that their set is completely fresh every year, taking classics from all corners of their extensive back catalogue (including two tracks from Strangeitude, now 25 years old!) rather than sticking to a basic set with a few tweaks year on year like many bands do. The musicianship was top class all round. I only remember one track that I can confidently name: Coily. They played at least two tracks I recognised from their new album, one of which the synths were much too low in the mix.
Finally, we were treated (as we are every year) to guitarist Ed mumbling incoherently into his microphone. Sir, you are genuinely one of my music heroes but nobody has ever understood what you've said on stage at this venue.
