I've got tickets for Antwerp :D Can't express how happy I am with that, got one of the extra tickets because of the move to the Sportpaleis. Have you guys seen the Road to red rocks DVD yet ? It's great imo , a good warmup if you're going to see them next year too :) !!

Better than Coldplay's? :P

 

Well.. I like Coldplay's 2012 movie for it's positive vibe and euforic feel :rolleyes: . And Red rocks dvd more for it's real-ness if you get what i mean . Coldplay live a'la 2012 has become a big entertainment show.

 

If it'd be 2003 or X&Y live compared to Red Rocks , i'd definately go for 2003 :cool:

I saw Mumford & Sons in December, they are fantastic live! I don't know if Dawes will be supporting them throughout Europe, but if they are they're also fantastic. If you're going to see Mumford & Sons, you should definitely keep your eye out for Dawes too!

Mumford channels Dave Matthews

Mumford & Sons aren’t the new Coldplay.

 

 

True, both are blockbuster British bands who expertly employ the epic, emotional crescendo — or maudlin, melodramatic crescendo, if you’re a hater (and there are plenty). But last night, at a sold-out TD Garden, Marcus Mumford’s performance channeled Dave Matthews, not Chris Martin.

 

 

I don’t mean the comparison as an insult — I’m no Matthews or Coldplay hater. Mumford isn’t the second coming of Bob Dylan, John Lennon or even Billy Bragg. But it’s right to celebrate whirling dervish-like folk-rock and song writing strong enough to lead to global success in 2013: four million albums sold in the United States in three years, six Grammy nominations and 27 sold-out tour dates in 16 countries just this year.

 

 

 

 

 

You could hear the vocal similarities to Matthews as Mumford squeezed out growls and grunts on “White Blank Page” and whispered into “Winter Winds.” Melodic overlaps showed during the stretched out groove of “Lover of the Light.” But it’s

 

 

 

Mumford’s layman charisma that really recalled America’s jam pop king.

Mumford — and his absurdly talented partners, multi-instrumentalists Winston Marshall, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane — thrilled 13,912 from the opening notes of “Babel.” Nothing more than four men, a banjo, acoustic guitar, bass, kick drum and brilliant melody. No synths patches or pre-recorded tracks, no dancers or back-up singers needed.

 

 

At times the group swelled to nine with strings and horns, which really helped drive home “The Cave,” but it was mostly four guys on battered acoustic instruments. To see a capacity Garden rocked to the core by a, well, hootenanny was awesome. (Later, for an encore, the band would pop up at the back of the floor around a single mic for a bring-the-house-down a cappella “Sister.”)

 

 

Yet Mumford & Sons have skills DMB lacks. When they leaned into their harmonies, like on “I Will Wait” and “Hopeless Wanderer,” their sound came into its own. It’s a sound that pulls from a hundred great inspirations (Dylan, Bragg, the Stanley Brothers, the Pogues). And yet their roots rock revolution comes off fresh because of the energy and plain love of craft.

 

 

Mumford’s cult will continue to grow. As will the scene they’re connected to — openers Felice Brothers shared a love for well-beaten string instruments and hootin’ and hollerin’

 

 

Just as college kids bored with bad rock and dumb pop found Dave Matthews 15 years ago, they’ll find Mumford. And they’ll keep them on the road and in arenas for a decade. Maybe for even longer than Coldplay.

They took Best British Band in the Brits last night!

 

Drunk!Winston is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen in a long time. Lol. And Ted is so sweet in looking out for him.
