The set consisted heavily of tracks from the 2007 album Puzzle – interspersed with new songs and a handful of older tunes. The latter were greeted with the biggest bursts of audience activity, but even when peculiar new songs like Bubbles and Born On A Horse were aired, the crowd’s pensive stance was rounded with rapturous applause. Only the acoustic Machines appeared to be met by a few groans.

Of the tracks aired from forthcoming album Only Revolutions, the thoughtful and quiet God And Satan and the ferocious set opener That Golden Rule seem to be the biggest immediate hits. Notoriously opinion-splitting single The Captain seems less absurd without the brass section and pirate costumes, but it didn’t sit as comfortably in the set as the rest of the new songs.

While material from their first three albums was scarce, the ones present were savvy choices – 57 and Justboy are anthems few would dispute. The biggest thrill was brought by the unexpected appearance of ridiculous, thrashing screamer, There’s No Such Thing As Jaggy Snake.

With a 105-minute set as full of singalongs, awesome hooks and uncontainable energy as this, it’s no wonder Biffy Clyro are one of Scotland’s biggest musical exports right now. The only thing to wonder is why it took quite so long.
