After a short set by the Minders, Elliott came out and opened with Son of Sam, then played for just about an hour. The place was packed, but the new style of the Showbox made for a comfortable experience. I stood on the far end of the stage, Sam Coomes side (which was the place to be, Sam is always fun to watch).

I was amazed at how perfectly the new Figure 8 songs were recreated in the live setting. The keyboardist had a busy night, sharing time on 2nd guitar as well as keys. But the main highlight of the night was simply finally seeing a full band show. The band perfomed a cover of the Zombies song "Care of Cell 44" during the encore. 9/10
