Our final Embrace
And so it was, the last time we're ever going to see those Embrace boys and they went out with their biggest gig ever at Alley Pally. It's our choice we're not going to see them (they've not split up) we've just seen them tons and we wanted to call it quits.
Bit of a shame that the gig was a wee bit average then. Compare to recent trips to North London to see Franz and Weller, where the noise was loud and the production values were sky high, this was a bit of an 'on the cheap' show. I mean, people holding and waving spot lights....I know you're trying to be cool and trendy boys but it was just cr@p.
For me, there was too many v.old tracks coupled with the 3 new ones of the as yet unreleased new album. Yes, all the big numbers were there but it wasn't as special as normal. Last year (when they play for me at my birthday party) at The Bush the f***ing rocked. There on the verge of going to hippy crappy. Just blast out the tunes boys!!!
A sad 6.5/10 for me

A fond embrace or a frigid kiss from an ex- hottie?
Following on from NME's new editor contribution - I sadly have to say it was the later - rememember at Phil's gig last year Danny said thanks for the second chance we ain't gonna f**k it up again - Hmm not convinced.
Good will Out still rates a 10 in anyone's book - but some proper shite in between.
So farewell its been fun from 1998 onwards - very up and down - Laters Danny, Richard and the 3 other blokes.
6 out of 10 - over and out
