22 February 2016: The Used are paying homage to the album with their 15th anniversary tour. They are playing two nights per city, showcasing their first two albums in full. Tonight sees the Utah natives play their self-titled debut to a packed O2 Forum.

There's something innately satisfying about an album's running order. The way the songs fit together. There are no words needed as the band launch straight into album opener 'Maybe Memories'. It's hard to hear them over the noise of the crowd.

"I want everyone to stand up - this isn't a polo match, it's a rock concert", shouts frontman Bert McCracken. "I want you to be enthusiastic and child-like tonight – it's rare not to be judged". He's speaking for everyone when he sings: "I'll savour every moment of this" during the chorus of debut single 'Taste Of Ink'.
