MTV Review: Florence + The Machine Blows Our Mind At Alexandra Palace

Last night we were treated to some cosmic lovin'...

Twelve hours on and we’re still buzzing with a warm, fuzzy feeling after witnessing Florence + The Machine’s stunning gig at Alexandra Palace last night(24th September).

In a setting fit for the queen and her machine, itwas the third of four sold out shows for Flo at the illustrious Ally Pally, but she treated it just like her headline Glasto turn earlier this summer – full of fervour and majesty.

Asking us to be her 'choir', Florence, bare foot anddonning a silk, whitewaistcoat, similar trousers and a blouse to match her fiery hairlooked so freespirited as the crowd chanted 'Shake It Off' back to the album chart-topping star.

A set filled primarily with newer material from her latest'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' album, the newer tracks held their own against the crowd faves of 'You've Got The Love', 'Rabbit Heart' and 'Spectrum', but her stripped back version of 'Cosmic Love', set tojust a guitar andher ethereal harp was a very special moment of the night. The fact she pre-empted it telling us she wrote it during one of the worst hangovers of her life and how it was a miracle she didn't puke that day (!) just made it all the more endearing.

In what felt like an age before she returned for an encore after sending the thousands in the Palace insane with 'Dog Days Are Over' (and encouraging us to strip off any unwanted clothing), Flo brought out the riff-fuelled 'What Kind Of Man' and the heart-thundering 'Drumming Song' to send us out into the night wishing we were cogs in her magicalMachine.
