22 Novembe, 2013: Festivals, album specials and promo shows aside, Queens Of The Stone Age haven't toured the UK properly since 2008. This week, the band returned to London with the conviction of five madmen back from the brink, hell-bent on making every moment count. 

From the devious rumble of the explosive of 'You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar..' into the refreshingly early classic 'No One Knows' into the cheeky bounce of 'The Lost Art Of Keeping Of A Secret' then new favourite 'My God Is The Sun' and the volatile stomp of 'Monsters In The Parasol' (take a deep breath) -  you'd struggle to think of a stronger opening to any gig, ever. With a bombastic fire in their belly, QOTSA make up for the years of waiting and translate the struggle into pure energy.

Queens Of The Stone Age played:

You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire 
No One Knows 
The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret 
My God Is the Sun 
Monsters in the Parasol 
I Sat by the Ocean 
…Like Clockwork 
In The Fade 
If I Had a Tail 
Kalopsia 
Little Sister 
Fairweather Friends 
Smooth Sailing 
Make It Wit Chu 
I Appear Missing 
Sick, Sick, Sick 
Go With the Flow 
Encore: 
The Vampyre of Time and Memory 
Feel Good Hit of the Summer 
A Song for the Dead
