Yeah, this was on Saturday night. Better than their previous show, but didn't blow me away like their Hamer Hall show (best gig ever). The documentary at the start was ok, but I'm not quite sure what everyone was raving on about. People who pay $72 only to get drunk and thrown out for being dickheads should probably reconsider how they spend their leisure money. Palais is a nice venue, but the crowd was quite disappointing in numbers, and of course there's always people talking during at least some part of the show. I'm not quite sure why Eels, a fairly non-confrontational, indie geek orientated band attracts such an aloof and unappreciative audience.
Best songs, Flyswatter, Elizabeth on the Bathroom Floor and previously unplayed (and long awaited from my point of view) Strawberry Blonde. Eels need to release a new album though, because this is the third tour in a row now without one, and people perhaps are getting restless and jaded with having the same songs played over and over without any new material. Can we have Bad Dude In Love, License to Eel and Kennedy's Curse already?
