The Red Paintings
Simply, I really like The Red Paintings (TRP). They have great stage presents, the performances by all the musicians was of a high standard, each adding their own unique layers to each song. The show was fun and visually stimulating with the great use of costumes, make up and props, all standard affairs for TRP. The overall technical aspect was good, my only criticism was a few problems with the mixing from time to time, mainly it was with the violin and cello, as they became a bit buried under the multitude of layers that TRP have in their music.

Mogwai
This was the first time I had seen Mogwai live, and it was fantastic, monumental even. Mogwai did what they do best, rocked and rocked loudly. No criticism from me at all. Just to prove that Mogwai is about being the best that they can be, below is a quote taken from Trach’s Journal on The Red Paintings website. (http://www.theredpaintings.com/v2/tashjournal.htm)
“Mogwai had replaced all the venues gear with all new equipment and there was lots of it. The sound system, the desks even the fold back desk was just incredible what was even cooler is that they let us use it all and well it just sounded so so big and crystal clear too (of course this is Mogwai so you would only expect the best) much thanks to Mogwai.”
It's a pity the scale only goes to 10!
