Mark Gardener and Andy Bell of Ride performed together for the first time in over 20 years this evening. The two performed a drool-worthy 14 song acoustic set to an intimate and utterly lucky crowd at the 100 Club in London to benefit War Child UK.
The setlist would make any Ride fan swoon -- when Ride announced their reunion last November, the band made clear they were intent upon playing the beloved songs fans want to hear. Tonight Gardener and Bell made good on that promise, for the setlist proved to be the ultimate Ride show, other than perhaps the omission of "Leave Them All Behind," but only a fool would do any complaining at this point.
Take a look at the mesmerizing setlist below via Dean Bromley along with some snippets of video from tonight's show. Check back later for more video -- this post will be updated as more video rolls in. Without question, those who hold tickets to Ride's upcoming spring/summer reunion tour are in for a fantastic gig and will NOT leave disappointed.
UPDATE: THE ENTIRE SHOW IS NOW AVAILABLE TO VIEW! Thanks to Andunemir for uploading.
