To mark the 1994 classic, the trio appeared in their iconic military regalia on a stage decked out in camouflage - before tearing into the album in full and then returning for a set of tracks from excellent new album Futurology, as well as a smattering of hits and rarities including Lifeblood's '1985' and fan favourite b-side 'Donkeys'.
