There's a review of that night on Louder Than War
Final paragraph...
I don’t know how they sounded last night but tonight is special. The crowd is swaying with excitement as Mark enters the stage with his old buddy Reg Smithies by his side, also joined by Danny, Neil and Steve on guitars, keys and drums. The knowing audience go wild to fan favourite The Fan And The Bellows, and it’s like they are back in full sonic force from those days of old when the band were knocking on that door to mainstream success. It’s a nostalgic set of greatest hits including strong tracks like In Shreds and to my surprise they air the anthemic Up The Down Escalator really early into the set which goes to show they have an arsenal of songs for an encore, as Mark B would say, a bit like Man City’s sub bench – all class. The atmosphere is tingling tonight, I’m watching from the balcony which is unusual yet there’s less chance of contagion up here. It’s amazing to see how many fans old and new are here to witness a band at the height of their power forty years on and the vibe is fantastic. A lot of people here weren’t even born when they played their Eighties gigs yet they know every word to most of the tracks, including a swaggering Swamp Thing followed by an echoing majestic Second Skin. The City subs are all brought on for the encore: John Stone – Singing Rule Britannia, Kevin De Bruyne – felling us all with an arched swinging Monkeyland, Jack Grealish – Don’t Fall and it certainly doesn’t, standing up tall like a sonic boom, and then an amazing cover of The Damned’s – New Rose just to rub in how good they are. Ignore my football bollocks if it sounds gibberish! The Chameleons are back like they’ve never been away, as powerful as ever, to claim their crown of the earlier penned Sonic Cathedral…
