They played the Lycabbetus hill theatre which is right across the Acropolis under a full pumpkin moon. There were about 8000 people crammed in a small place and considering the 33C temperature things were getting too hot even before they hit the stage....which happened promptly at 21:30.First James in a black satin shirt,then Billy in a buttoned-up black shirt and leather jacket which he got rid of shortly after,and D'Arcy with a really sexy see-thru and her black horns,and 3 drummers. They kicked off with an electric
"to sheila" and the audience went mad. I'll skip the part about them being
the best live thing I've seen ,about how Billy rocks etc."adore" sounds
brilliant live.They played (in no particular order,I was a bit off my head):
"to sheila",once upon a time" ,"ava adore" ,"Tear", "crestfallen", "daphne
descends", "perfect" , "shame", "for martha", and "blank page" from "Adore"
as well as a laid-back version of "thru the eyes of ruby", a really heavy
"bwbw" a rythmic "tonight tonight" and "1979".They played
