[dropcap style=”font-size:100px; color:#992211;”]A[/dropcap]nthems Tower of Strength, Butterfly On A Wheel and Wasteland brought huge cheers and deafening singing from the audience, but it was the electro-krautrock workout late in the set that pushed the evening beyond a collection of hoary favourites to a standout event.
