You know what I hate most is when people on youtube say that Hard-Fi are bad live when they have never seen them live, I mean i've never seen them live, but all the times I watch videos of them on Youtube and when I watch The 'In Operation' DVD I really like their live performances, they are just pure awesome.

Yes that's exactly what I think every time I see those comments.I remember someone said on here the other day that Hard-Fi aren't for those who like to sit and watch,but I do think they are extraordinary live band even though I've never seen them live,either.No matter what others say,I enjoy most of their live videos (I'm sure everyone on here is with me ),especially the Astoria show in the DVD.The crowd is usually so fantastic as well.I've seen some people write articles in length to slate Hard-Fi's performances in their blogs.Some even create groups to show their hatred for the band,which is absolutely ridiculous.Now I think it's best to ignore all those bad comments and enjoy the videos ourselves.After all,it's ourselves that enjoy their performances that matters most.

Speaking of live,I wonder if they will ever come to China again?I didn't go to their gig in Shanghai this January,only because I wasn't a fan then and didn't know they were coming here.The hardest part for me to swallow is that actually I listened to SOCCTV back in early 2006 and quite enjoyed it,but later I had to focus on my studies so I gradually forgot about the band.I'm pretty sure that had I spent merely a little more time on the album,I would have become a serious fan and therefore would have gone to see them in Shanghai.I've been thinking about this and cannot stop blaming myself ever since I got seriously into their music this March,which is only two months after that gig.I might never get over it unless I get to see them finally.But I fear I will never get the chance to - even if they come to China again,I guess it'll more likely to be Beijing,which is too far away from where I live.So when I was watching the podcasts about the Shanghai gig I felt extremely sad...The lastest Japan podcast hurts too...

I'm sorry I've gone off-topic but I just can't help...All these thoughts have been on my mind for half a year...I truly truly hope they will come to Shanghai again...

Hard-Fi live - is very good

The thing that really annoyed me when i saw them live was that 95% of the people sat down!! how can you sit down at a concert?? all the concerts i've been to you can't sit down, if you do you can't be enjoying yourself surely!!?? And hard fi, i certainly couldn't sit down to

That's surprising, which venue?

probably wembley

I must admit we were sitting at Wembley. Very exposed seats, people around us didn't seem to know much of their music. By the end we were dancing (kids included) but our neighbours were still seated.

Koko was much better because everyone was up dancing.

I would love to see them in my home town of Liverpool. I heard that they were great at the Uni in December.

hard-fi are really good live, the videos really don't do them justice. they put on a good show and get all the crowd involved!

i preferred the koko gig to wembley, because it was a closer area, but both were really good! if you haven't seen them live i strongly recommend it!
