Karma for that Sharon - here's the article (I copied and pasted)-

The Kings return
Followill brothers kick off their UK arena tour in Brighton
02 December 2008 - After being plagued by sound issues at the Brighton Centre last year, the Kings of Leon made a triumphant return to the venue last night (1 December).

The Nashville, Tennessee brothers launched the tour with their biggest lighting and sound show to date, and played an epic two hour set, reaching into the far corners of all four albums.

Nathan told 6 Music before the show, they felt they needed to have a rummage in their back catalogue for this end of year, festive jaunt: "No matter which way you look at it, someone’s going to leave there without hearing their favourite song, but I think we’re breaking out quite a few old songs we haven’t played in about 3 or 4 years which is kind of scary."

The band launched their mammoth set with Crawl from their double platinum number one album, Only By The Night, before ripping into 2nd album, Aha Shake Heartbreak, playing old classics Taper Jean Girl, Razz, Milk, Slow Night, So Long, and Four Kicks which sent bodies soaring, as the crowd surfing began.

Caleb was on fine form, encouraging the crowd to give him some vocal assistance as he told the crowd: "We are Kings of Leon, feel free to sing along if you want to," and five songs in, as the rumblings of Sex on Fire rang out, his wish was Brighton’s command.

A mass wave of chair dancing broke out on the South Balcony as those in the seated section got fired up and into the mood, while the band dug deeper into their four album repertoire.

Nathan admitted, that for him, the show was always going to be better than the last time they were there.

"Last year it was horrible," he explained. "I broke up with my girlfriend 30 minutes before I went on stage, so I didn’t really remember anything about that show. But I’m sure the sound was horrible, because it was probably me crying into my microphone."

But there was no sign of anything other than a humble clan of Followill brothers on stage, who as flashbacks of their childhood played out across the five big screens hovering above the stage, seemed glad to be back on the soil of their second home.

The sold out arena tour, marks the start of a full blown world tour taking them into the latter part of 2009, but as they hammered into the second half of the set, the band’s frontman revealed what a year it has been for them.

Caleb said: "We’ve been doing this for a long time and it’s just starting to pay off. We feel blessed to be up here. It’s been one of the best year’s of our lives, thanks to people like you. We wish you all a Merry Christmas."

And as they band wrapped up with a four song encore that included, Knocked Up, Manhattan, Charmer, and Black Thumbnail, it did feel like Christmas had come early for fans, who definitely got more than they bargained for.

This set list is right I believe except for California Waiting - that wasn't played. In fact I remember Caleb running over and speaking to the sound people and everyone else in the band right before Use Somebody so it looks like he decided to cut that one out at the last minute.

[sarah///]

I was really hoping for California Waiting but the rest of it was so amazing so I have no complaints
I hope they play Wasted Time next time though, or Spiral Staircase

[Dom1826]

Yea i REALLY wanted Wasted Time and Arizona, i got one so i cant moan.

No True Love Way though

[sarah///]

ah that would have been epic. but Arizona... I fall in love over and over again everytime I listen to it!
They looked so into it last night, Caleb was smiling a lot and really gritting his teeth when he was playing.
Seeing him and Matt going mental next to one another was a rather beautiful moment.

[Dom1826]

Arizona is a beautiful song.

Im not a massive Sex On Fire fan but when they played that the place was crazy, gotta admit loved it.

[sarah///]

Ah I like it! Knocked Up was so loud, makes me feel really happy
