D-Ream, Islington Academy 1.12.10


There's rioting over percieved unfair taxes (students) and a tory in power. TGhis can only mean D-Ream must come back and they have! One of two artists I have seen when they were top of the charts (with Things Can Only Get Better the first time), here they premiered their new material in shedloads. This led to disappointment for those who wanted to hear tracks from their two albums released in the 90s. What was more bewildering was that their new material was much more guitar based and when they did play Ur The Best Thing, a dance classic, it sounded a completely different band was playing. A shame really as for a reunion show you would hope they would revel in nostalgia. I think only five old songs were played in a 15+ set. This obviously included a rousing Things Can Only Get Better, which in the case of the band is true too.
