In 1974, at 14 years old, my father went to see Pink Floyd at Wembley. Along with his friends he stood on his seat and cheered loudly as the band came on stage but was immediately given a stern tap on the shoulder by a Floyd fan who said; “Sit down you lot, they’re not that kind of group!”

At that point in their career, they were a band to be appreciated. You certainly didn’t dance to them. And although I never got to see Pink Floyd live, watching Low at The Old Market made me imagine what they would have been like.

Although there was a brief applause as they came on stage, the room quickly descended into silence. As the band tuned up, we waited. Three people were waiting at the bar but none were ordering; the bartender was filming the dark stage with her phone and they had their eyes fixed firmly on the group anyway.

When the Minnesota band did begin to play, the audience didn’t make a sound. Everyone in the sold out Old Market simply stood there and appreciated what was happening in front of them. With a set drawing heavily from their 2011 album, C’mon, the band gave more than enough to be admired.

In 1974 Pink Floyd were playing The Dark Side Of The Moon live, note for note. The structure of the album demanded that it was played in such a way on tour and people accepted this. The beauty of Low’s live show is that they were able to take each of their songs and make them feel unique to that performance.

Their wonderfully soulful harmonies wrapped themselves around the solid rhythms of Mimi Parker and Steve Garrington while front man Alan Sparhawk played his guitar as if each note had been made for this venue and this crowd alone.

The biggest noise from the crowd came when the band left the stage at the end of the evening. They weren’t just appreciated. They were adored.
