Seems like Jamie plays the lead a full step down in his guitar, and Alex pretty much does the same with his voice.

Yeah it sounds like it, but I'm guessing it sounds like that because of his Gibson guitar. Before when it was played on the Martin it sounds higher because that specific Martin is real trebley. I think it would be a bit odd to all of a sudden play it a full step down.

I don't have any pics
I wasn't so close to the stage and I hadn't got camera with me, only phone. I have few vids, but they are kinda shitty and only 30 seconds or less.
But all I can say - they were awesome!
Shame, they didn't play Teddy Picker and Old Yellow Bricks....
And Alex seemed to be a little bit tired or something. Like he didn't enjoy the show. But maybe he's always like that.
I think cos of technical problems he was pretty pissed of at the begining.
When they played Brianstorm and I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor people went crazy!! ;dd
I think Alex doesn't play keyboard anymore on 505.

Could you translate this article for us please in that thread - they had problems getting to the festival which might explain the tiredness.

Today I've came back from the festival - which was in 90% successful. It's about Monkeys of course. I didn't have to read the article mentioned above to know that it was not what I expected from their gig. I am very sorry to write it, but probably I wouldn't like to remember the show - it was a disaster. Guys were tired (like after the whole tour) and they were just absent on thier own show. It is sad as many people came from all the country to see them finally in Poland - and they were let down. Alex didn't let us sing even on chorus, there was no energy in them - opposite to entusiasthic audience. I'm sure ther won't come here again having such bad memories of the gig. But I'll be waiting.

Now's the time for the single and the album. I wish all of you better gigs than we have as I hope it was only a bad luck. I'll try to post my poor quality vids and photos in few days.

I think it is a step down. I think theyve done it with Fluorescent Adolescent for some reason.

Hey, I'm new.
I was there also!
And I enjoyed the show. Monkeys are Monkeys.. they don't talk to ppl too much but I like it.. I don't need another Bett Ditto who sings everywhere she is that is the best place she has ever been to o.O
They focus on making good music show. And they've done it!
Secret Door and Only Ones Who Knows live made me cry..
but my fav from favest song: Do Me A Favour.. God! I have never thought that I will listen to it live. It was the best moment in my life.
