Review
Not really a review as such but a blog post on the popular Stuff.co.nz site. Sample quote: “Also, I put it to you that there a very few men in the world that can wear a peach shirt and trouser combo and still manage to look cool. Mike Patton is one of these. It’s quite possible he is the only person on the planet who can rock that look.”
Otherwise, the concert has passed off with barely a mention in the New Zealand press.

Until the real Stuff.co.nz review. Sample quote: “Jackets were unbuttoned and discarded and the captivating Mike Patton, with slicked back hair and trademark megaphone, then led the group through a thoughtful setlist that faultlessly mixed greatest hits with the band’s best and little known numbers.”

Set list:

1. Midnight Cowboy
2. The Real Thing
3. Land of Sunshine
4. Be Aggressive
5. Caffeine
6. Evidence
7. Surprise! You’re Dead!
8. Last Cup of Sorrow
9. Ricochet
10. Easy
11. Epic
12. Midlife Crisis
13. RV
14. Gentle Art of Making Enemies
15. King for a Day
16. Ashes to Ashes
17. Just A Man
18. Chariots
19. Stripsearch
20. We Care A Lot
21. This Guy’s in Love with You
22. Pristina

And that looks like a corking set.

Roddy’s verdict via Twitter: RODDYBOTTUM thank you christchurch. the first show always has the potential to feel a little wobbly but you all made us feel right at home.
