Unfortunately was late so I missed the support band, I'm a big fan of DCFC, they played a good variety of old and new stuff, (though none of the REALLY old stuff, nor my favourite song of theirs), they sounded great which is quite a feat for Rock City in my opinion, I don't know if they brought their own sound guys or what.. The audience were great, they had good chemistry together, the band were tight but at times you could tell they were working stuff out (first step on the european tour I believe?) I also felt some of the songs were shorter than I remember them, like they'd condensed them down and they also played a song or two that apparently none of the audience seemed to recognise, including me (perhaps working on new material). 8.5/10 Definitely recommend
