After four rapturously-received shows in Glasgow and Blackpool, the long-anticipated Verve reunion tour arrived in London last night, and Uncut was at the front to witness their powerful return. Richard Ashcroft, Nick McCabe, Peter Salisbury and Simon Jones played a greatest hits set that lasted for over two hours. One new song was unveiled, called "Sit And Wonder", while one rarity, "Let The Damage Begin" (the b-side to "This Is Music") was dusted down. You can read a full report of the show at Uncut's Wild Mercury Sound blog. The Verve play The Roundhouse again tonight (November 9), before embarking on a sold-out arena tour next month. Here's last night's setlist: 1 This Is Music 2 Space And Time 3 Gravity Grave 4 Weeping Willow 5 Life's An Ocean 6 Sonnet 7 Sit And Wonder 8 Velvet Morning 9 Already There 10 Stormy Clouds 11 Let The Damage Begin 12 On Your Own 13 The Rolling People 14 The Drugs Don't Work 15 Bittersweet Symphony ~ 16 A Northern Soul 17 History 18 Lucky Man 19 Come On
