The Lightening Seeds (supported by Rootjoose), Plymouth University Summer Ball, May 2000 – A field somewhere near Plymouth

The Lightening Seeds, Rootjoose played at the Plymouth University May Ball in 2000. It was interesting to see Rootjoose, given my band’s previous offer of a support slot with them, and they were an impressive force live, without being spectacular. The Lightening Seeds, in the other hand, were awful. They have some okay pop songs, but most of them rely on electronic backing in order to differentiate the mundane acoustic strumming from song to song, and without that, they sounded like dull pap live. Did they play Three Lions? I dunno. David Brent’s “Freelove Freeway” would have been better. 

Lamentable.
