Question mark because the review doesn't explicitly say so, but it has a "Mon 25 May 2026 12.09 CEST" timestamp.

"Mould still stomps in circles around the stage like a man furiously searching for his lost remote control." :-)

I'd taken it as the Saturday show due to the 'placid lake of nodding of the middle aged' reference and (paraphrasing slightly) After 3 NY shows here we are.

Yes, good point. I think there was only a moderate moshpit on Sunday, I'm sure the reviewer would have mentioned that.

Can’t say as I appreciated being slammed into a couple of times, or the
two beers thrown. I kept thinking “Jesus aren’t alla y’all like fifty?”

They remove the caps from the water bottles at the bar to prevent people flicking and throwing them on stage. 

I did not see beers thrown but experienced some lively jostling at the Sunday show.

Must be Saturday since there were 24 songs on Sunday (review mentions 23).

Also surprised at the reference to Dave’s vocals which sounded fine to me on Sunday.

They do that in the states, too, at least at the sports stadiums I have
patronized.

Oh, I didn’t -see- the beers, but I sure felt them.

Speaking of beverages, the staff handing out water cups to the crowd up
front was quite nice.
