On first listening to last night's broadcast, I was not not that impressed. They picked all the tracks from the set from the second album or early singles, and ignored all the later more melodic material.

The tracks they played also were performed in a hard dance remix style, so were again less melodic.

I think with this tour and reformation starting as a 20th anniversary they have gone back to the sound they started with, but I feel they have lost a lot of their strengths from their later material.

There were tracks fro later albums performed at the show, but for last night's show they had picked one particular style they play, which although good to see live, is not what is the main appeal of the band to me.

6Music broadcast tracks:
Lush 3-1
Lush 3-2
Lush (Euro Tunnel Disaster 94)
Impact (The Earth is Burning)
Remind
Belfast
Chime
Crime
Halcyon (with the Belinda Carlisle/Bon Jovi breakdown)
