The dynamic, acoustic "Future Boy" sounded crystal clear as Dickinson's voice cut through each audience member.

Dickinson then left the stage for a small interlude. Retaking the stage for its first encore, Catherine Wheel started right into "Thunderbird," from "Adam & Eve," followed by the beautiful "Here Comes The Fat Controller." The crowd looked for more classic material, and was treat- ed to "I Want To Touch You." From there, Dickinson said, "Au revoir," as the band ended the set with "Goodbye," the last track to be played from "Adam & Eve." The new album had gone over well from end to end, but Catherine Wheel was intent on going the whole nine.

CW then ended with two driving numbers from "Happy Days": "Little Muscle" and "Waydown." The two-hour set seemed so complete, yet seemed to have passed in no time. The songs from "Adam & Eve" sounded very thorough, although it seems like they need time to take on a life of their own and grow like the older material. Overall, Catherine Wheel proved once again why it should be reigning kings of the British wave and why no one should miss them when they come to Detroit later this month. team.
