I’ve been to a fair number of gigs over the years, and I remember them really well. There was the raucous (Motorhead in Newcastle), the stadium events (U2 in the distance at Leeds), the ‘wow! they’re playing here!’ (REM in Hull), the legend can’t quite cut it any more (Dylan in Hyde Park), as well as many more intimate affairs. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gig that mixed pathos and comedy in the way that The Divine Comedy did in York.
