In a tremendous, triumphant return to
Plymouth, You Me At Six- to quote a now familiar phrase- 'knocked it
out of the park'! Over the course of a vibrant hour and a half,
tonight's Youth tour tracklisting encompassed fifteen powerful gems
covering the band's 3 most recent album releases, which had the
audience hooked as the band fervently attacked every honed number.
Every pulsating rocking beat, energised guitar riff, and captivating,
compelling pitch-perfect vocal rocked and completely brought the
house down.
Last seen in this neck of the woods
supporting American alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, it
was time for this British band to shine in the limelight and take
centre stage. After more than 8 years of hard graft, 4 albums and
countless touring dates, this was THEIR night, and so thoroughly
deserved.
During the course of the hi-energy,
engaging, enjoyable night, a sterling set-list was offered up in
which nearly every song was warmly familiar, without veering into
predictability.

From a frenetic Fresh Start Fever,
soaring Stay With Me,
and melodic
sweet current single Cold Night; to,
as lead singer Josh put it- our, the crowd's, song: - the
air-punching, grin-inducing and insanely lively, Underdog.
En
masse-popular tracks executed with veracity kept the atmosphere
gritty, and full of favourable and wholly appreciated down-to-earth
realism.

A night of energy, passion and artistic detail, coupled with engaging brief interludes of jovial banter from charming frontman Josh Franceschi- full of genuine touching and refreshing humility and gratitude to the assembled masses, was true testament to the band's tangible connection with the audience and an insight into what keeps this long-serving, yet blossoming, five-piece's fans loyal.
An engulfing electrifying night culminated in an encore that included amazing, crazy, circle-pit moshy, pounding audience-anthem Bite My Lip before the final song from current album Cavalier Youth, a thoroughly exhilarating rendition of the intoxicating talisman track Lived A Lie.
If
they weren't before, everyone left this gig, a dreamer for
life.
