The Decemberists may look decidedly middle-aged these days, but they certainly haven't descended into dad band half-arsedness. The first half of the set, focusing on their more recent output was perhaps slightly lacking in their trademark joie de vivre, but once the "Hazards of Love" stuff kicked in energy levels began to crank up a notch, and the last run of the songs including "O Valencia", "16 Military Wives" and "The Mariners Revenge" was as elatory an experience as anyone will ever have in Brixton on a Saturday night.
