    How depressing reading these reviews, would have loved to have gone to this but it sold out the day before I got the cash together. Saw him a few years ago doing his so called "rock stuff" and it was one of the best gigs Ive seen. Half the crowd hated it, the other half gave him a massive ovation. And Matt Elliott as support? Cant believe the whining, ye should have stayed home and watched Amelie and given me your ticket.

    I find it funny about anyone writing "you let the fans down" or who were "disappointed as a fan" obviously as fans, never bought "on tour" and do not know much about him, so much for being a fan, i was disappointed that he would not be playing a piano/acordian based set, but it only took me 2 minutes to type into Google to see what he was playing! and so i went any way and i thought it was quite good, and mat Elliot was defiantly epic, maybe a bit too much, but then i guess thats what i like as well..

    Most disappointing gig I've been to... Fair enough if you want to try out new stuff, but playing rock when all your fans have come expecting to hear beautiful piano music etc? Bad, bad idea. I had looked forward to hearing him play live for ages. Letting your fans down like that is pretty poor form, what an inconsiderate.... !

    I enjoyed the gig the whole way. Even though I was expecting a bit more violin and some accordion performances, I really enjoyed myself. Yann Tiersen's rock music is so much better than I expected. I don't think Matt Elliot was bad either...his songs were just a bit long. I liked his last song most out of the 4. I did feel a bit bad for those who were really looking forward to the classical side of Yann. Many people looked very pissed off.

    I understand the whining below. samez here, in that it not what I expected from a yann tiersen gig, but I defintely got into it after a few songs. I daresay I had fun. matt elliot was a huge letdwon for me though. expected so much better from him. that last song off his set made me cringe.

    where was the music he's good at :( and no offence to matt elliot but entertaining for a min or two ???? but it was slightly painfull form of music and i did feel bad for him when someone shouted he's shit but bye the end he deserved it. I would say if your really into Yann's music this is on the side of disappointing but worth seeing for the small moments of him doing he's proper stuff inbetween the band stuff :/

    What a pissapointment... what the fuck was up with all that lame rock music? I want my money back. Walked out before the end. total waste of time.

    It's so ironic that a "minimalist" musician like him put on such a rock extravaganza show tonight. Having said that, I think the "Valse de Amelie" rock arrangement at the end, with a touch of "haunt", was incredible. His "rock" songs are really good, but I went in there with such high expectations on simple, pure piano and accordeon sounds that I didn't get to enjoy his songs tonight as much. At least half of the audience felt punk'd, I bet.
