Supergrass Live @ Southampton Guildhall
'Alright', predictably, was the catalyst. The opening bars saw the crowd finally react as one rapturous whole.
Later a sofa was brought out for Gaz to treat us in comfort to acoustic renditions of, aptly, 'Sofa of my Lethargy' and 'Late in the day'.
'Going out' was the only notable omission, but when you've got the likes of 'Caught by the Fuzz' and the sublime 'Sun Hits the Sky' in your canon, who cares!
See, Supergrass never let you down. They can do pretty much anything and do it well.
They've never garnered the feverish, cult acclaim of the Libertines, but unlike the mighty, mighty Libs there's never been any danger of Supergrass blowing it big-stylee.
The band once claimed they had toyed with the idea of giving up touring to become merely a studio band.
Well, they haven't, and I sincerely hope they don't. Not while they're still smiling and people continue to smile back at them.
Here's to another 10 years.

Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
lolo: ilikemusic because... music is where some people display affection, show emotions and actually showing off who they are and their thinking. it is special unlike anything cos it goes out and never comes in back but in others.
Lady Sovereign: ilikemusic because... I do!
Robyn: ilikemusic because... It’s the way I want to express myself. It’s not a choice. It’s just always been there. It’s just what I do.
David Jordan: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel good and it puts me in a happy mood.
Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
MARS: ilikemusic because... tom kelly is a great producer and Mark Angelo Studios in London is the best place to record your record!
Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
