As if to hammer home the benefits of youth, support act The Standard Lamps at times look and sound uncannily like the Who of 40 years ago...
...their gangly, light-bearded singer and guitarist Mike Wilton sharing Townshend's easy way with a big crowd, and teasing everything from scratchy skiffly rhythms to hard, proggy riffs from a cherry red SG. A three-piece, they are tight and bluesy, with Wilton riffing on his harmonica, but they're also able to deftly channel The Jam's angled, modernist pop on tracks such as The Modern World.
