Thanks Dawn. As you can probably guess from the footage, I was standing - leaning on the barrier right by the part of the extended stage they were performing this set on. It's the first time I've stood and I'm glad I did - apart from a bit of leg-ache by the end (a small price to pay) it was great to be up close and among it! x

I've seen Keane 3 times and I've always sat. Would love to stand but my son, daughter come along too so I've always chosen to sit. Maybe next time I can persuade them to stand! Would love to see the band really close though we've always had good seats. Dawn x

I was there at this concert 2nd row from front.Liked keane since first album hopes and fears came out,but first time been to see them live,and they were brilliant,!!will definetely try and go to see them again!! Had heard this song before couple of times,but was not sure what it was called,but now really like it,it is way to good for a B side,and tom was awesome singing it live!!

Thanks for the comments. This was the second time I've seen the band - first time Hull in Oct '06 on the UTIS tour. They were awesome then, but this time they suprassed even that!... And I couldn't agree more 2tose5 - I've always said that SNOWED UNDER was too good to be a "mere" B-side - indeed, it's one of my Keane favourites (and sooo appropriate for the weather at the moment! :-) - testament to just how brilliant this band is. GENIUS!!
