Placebo Play The Piece Hall With A Night Of Alternative Rock Nostalgia .

Since their conception in the 1990’s Placebo have always been a little different,8 a bit eccentric if you may say so . They’re the outsiders who stood out from the Brit-pop guitar bands of that era; visually and lyrically daring to take their music master pieces places no other band dare go, they have always been determined to follow their own musical path and tonight they’re politely asking us to put our phones away. We’re greeted with a series of on-screen messages requesting that we, “Be here now and enjoy the moment” and advising that “Taking photos or video on your phone is not welcome at this gig something very unusual for this day and age' it was nice to be transported back to the 1990s hay day for an evening with no electronic devices it almost felt like a sin getting my phone out.”

The band took to the stage at bang on 9pm with Brian wearing a full black slick outfit, looking effortlessly cool, the front man everyone knows and loves, directly in front of our eyes live in the famous cloth hall, it was nice to be able to see them from across the crowd without it being through various screens recording, With front man Molko’s voice having lost none of its uniqueness the band played a brilliant set, including fan favourites 'Bitter End', 'Nancy Boy' and the unforgettable 'Infra Red' that had the audience in raptures singing along, my favourite had to be 'Every You And Every Me' from 90s cult classic Cruel Intentions you could tell the lively audience were having the absolute best time of their lives in Halifax on a Tuesday night, Finishing with their long standing cover of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill much to the audiences appreciation, Placebo showed that they can still entertain a crowd and have them in the palm of their hands, Placebo gave a stand out performance and I'm sure it will be remembered and talked about for years to come as they certainly know how to put on a show .
