Comments & Reviews:
The atmosphere at the sold-out Deaf Institute gig was electric as most of the audience were clearly die-hard fans of the band, shouting their war cry "The View, The View, The View are on fire!" before the band came on stage. Rattling through the set list with their usual verve, I was delighted to hear them play my favourite song, "Grace", after only three tunes. The anticipated mosh pit wasn't as ferocious as I expected, but still very enthusiastic. The band were on top form so the audience were delighted, singing along to many of their hits. Unfortunately, a short time after the bass guitarist, Kieren Webster, and lead guitarist, Kyle Falconer, swapped instruments there was an incident. Kieren had annoyed Kyle in some way and Kyle violently lashed out at him! The attack was eventually brought under control by their manager, roadies and security, but the last seven songs on the set list were abandoned. Kyle returned on stage after a few minutes to apologise and play a song on his own, but then the lights went on and the gig was over.
