Massive Attack's tour finally got underway in Melbourne yesterday – the New Zealand leg of the tour postponed while 3D continued to battle with those child porn allegations.
According to Aussie music website Undercover New Zealand's loss was Melbourne’s gain – their reviewer says: "With a spectacular backdrop, incredible light show and simply fantastic songs, the audience could not have asked for anything more". At one point 3D made comment on the "bullshit in the press" - the audience's applause indicating he had their support.
"Two encores closed the show," Undercover continue, "the first containing the closest sound Massive Attack ever achieved to "dance" with one of their earliest hits, 'Unfinished Symphony' while the second contained 'Group Four' from their Mezzanine album with chaotic visuals keeping time with the crescendo to the climax".
