Music: David Gray, Carling Academy, Glasgow

Star rating: **** David Gray's career has reached the inevitable "greatest hits" stage and a packed Carling Academy was proof that there is considerable popular enthusiasm for the idea. Neatly solving the problem of who to take as asupport act, he did the job himself, playing a solo acoustic slot before the main event. As is so often the case, some of the best known songs were rejuvenated by being stripped back to basics. Babylon, his breakthrough, multi-million seller from 1999, was beautifully done. This Year's Love, also from the White Ladder album, finished this segment of the show to a forest of video phones.
