Axis of Awesome World Tour 2006: After performing the same show for a 150 years things are bound to get slightly stale. One would have hoped for a slightly more development in the on-stage patter and jokes in the intervening year, but it followed much the same themes as in previous shows. If you've never seen them live (and you should really do so), then it will excellent fun and you will enjoy the patter immensely, but if you are a fan with fond memories of the previous shows, then a lot of humour will be lost in the predictability of the punch lines. Still, if you are a fan you will be going anyway, because they are always worth seeing live. As for the songs themselves, which may be considered the important part of the show, there were a number of old favourites as well as some new ones, all of which (old and new) were thoroughly enjoyable and had the audience laughing and applauding wildly. And occasionally inappropriately. The performance was polished and professional, and quite enjoyable. [And I second the bringing of tennis balls for after the show. Or ping pong balls.] There were a couple of new songs for the show, such as the Floppy Man song (I'll leave you to imagine what that will entail), but mostly it had been performed before (but not previously recorded. This was essentially the live performance of their new CD Animal Vehicle which may also explain the same schticks being used in the show (almost all of these songs were new last show). Good music. Although on writing this Birdplane is making a come-back in the earworm stakes (last time it lasted three months). TION, where are you when I need you!!!
