For a band now in their 25th year,
Primal Scream continue to raise the bar when it comes to a rock 'n' roll concert.
Always worth seeing, frontman Bobby Gillespie and his Scream Team, surpassed even their own levels of excellence to a surprisingly non-capacity crowd in Norwich.
With a giant TV screen, no doubt inspired by the artwork of their latest album Beautiful Future, the Scream sextet were framed almost throughout by a bombardment of film clips which harked back to the psychedelic lightshows of many of the band's musical heroes.
Bookending the concert with Kill All Hippies and Accelerator from their acclaimed Xtrmntr album, this concert was almost like a documentary about how to enthrall a crowd.
Blending guitar-totting footstompers of the calibre of Rocks, Movin' On Up and Country Girl; with more electro-experiment tracks, including a sensory-overloading Shoot Speed, here was a band still showing no fear when it comes to pushing the audio visual envelope further.
In fact the band proved this was one sonic revolution that should be televised.
