A rather belated mention of dEUS at the ambassador last Friday. Deus are always a good live act but tended to be a bit patchy at times. It seems the break and the new lineup have worked wonders because gone where all the old tensions and they played a faultless high energy set, a mixture of the new album and a selection from the back catalogue finishing with a barnstorming finale of suds and soda. It was, in my opinion, one the best rock gigs I've ever seen and I think deus on that form are the best live rock act today. The only gripe I'd have is the absolute mania some people have to photograph the entire show (I understand a pic or 2 but the entire bloody show?) with their crappy camera phones. At any one time I think they were about five phones held aloft in sweaty hands blocking my view.

Check out the wasted and wounded tourblog by a fan who is following the tour, includes setlists, the odd mp3 and more sycophancy then is normally considered healthy.
