The Rapture, Friday, Electric Arena
Atmosphere: A giddy evening in the House of Jealous Lovers as everyone's favourite funk-punk revivalists turn up to show us their new set of clobber
High: We loved how new songs like In the Grace Of Your Love were performed with considerable panache but the crowd have obviously not got around to buying or downloading the new album yet so it was the likes of Get Myself Into It which had hands in the air
Low: There was a bit of a drop in the set's intensity and momentum after a couple of new tunes as the crowd scratched their heads and wondered if they were at the wrong band.
Quote: "What¹s up Irish people?" (eloquent lead singer Luke Jenner)
Verdict: Probably a better Rapture experience than the one that was supposed to happen on May 21st
