know a lot about Paolo Nutini or his music before the show (I knew &#8216;<em>Pencil full of lead<\/em>&#8216; and &#8216;<em>New Shoes<\/em>&#8216;&#8230;and only remembered that I also knew &#8216;<em>Last Request<\/em>&#8216; during its emotional acoustic rendition as the final encore) but I quickly gathered that he had <em>a lot<\/em> of female fans&#8230;one lady next to me saw me photo pit pass and tried to bribe me with wine so I&#8217;d take her backstage\u00a0(though to her credit, she still offered me wine when I told her I couldn&#8217;t go backstage&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>The screams from the crowd were pretty intense when the slightly disheveled Scot wandered onto the stage; initially I wasn&#8217;t convinced, but it didn&#8217;t take long for me to get it. He&#8217;s a really solid performer and I thoroughly enjoyed the show.<\/p>\n<p>I particularly liked that the tracks felt darker and had\u00a0a bit more of a rock edge than their recorded counterparts, or, in the case of\u00a0<em>Last Request<\/em>, were stripped right down to the basics. I&#8217;d always found the song pretty cheesy, but I have to say, watching it performed with just an acoustic guitar and a ton of emotion was pretty damn moving.<\/p>\n<p><a
