IT would be easy to write Kyle Gass and Jack Black off as a couple of comedians/Hollywood film stars who are playing at being musicians. If you were lucky enough to be at the O2 in Boscombe on Saturday night you will know that labelling them as such would not do them justice.

In fact they were in a band together long before they achieved any success on the screen and tonight they returned to their roots, just a couple of musicians out on the road. It was an acoustic set with just the two of them on stage apart from the odd occasion when they were joined by the sasquatch or a singing roadie.

As soon as this gig was announced, it became the hot ticket to have and the O2 sold out in a ridiculously short time. The crowd that were lucky enough to get in knew every word to every song and sang along at the top of their voices throughout the night. Gass is an excellent guitar player and the is the perfect foil to Jack Blacks slightly manic front man. In fact they would not have been out of place in the middle ages travelling the country as a couple of minstrels.

They played a set covering the whole of their careers, The Wall in full (well almost) and even channelled a bit of Black Sabbath with War Pigs. Jack Black is a natural showman with and there were comedy moments such his story of the quest for the best fish and chips in the world which he finally found in Bournemouth after a trek that lasted 1 hour and 4 minutes!

A show that lived up to the excitement surrounding it and one of the best nights I have had at the O2 for a long time.
