David Gray's tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his phenomenally successful 'White Ladder' album proved to be a life-affirming celebration of a record that forever changed his future and which has soundtracked fans' lives ever since. The rapturously received tour was comprised of 54 shows across four continents - and after playing to a total of 130,000 people just during the tour's initial UK / Ireland arena run, it's evident that 'White Ladder' still means so much to so many people. This unforgettable tour is documented with the release of 'White Ladder Live' out on November 24 as a double gatefold vinyl package. As with the rest of the tour, the show features the original 'White Ladder' band line-up.A roar of approval greets 'Please Forgive Me' as David performs 'White Ladder' in the original album's running order, taking in its many other hits ('Babylon', 'This Year's Love', 'Sail Away') and fan favourite deeper cuts ('My Oh My', 'Silver Lining') before closing the main set with his emotionally charged take on the Soft Cell classic 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye'. The encore is full of surprises: a performance of 'Tainted Love' which is closer in spirit to Gloria Jones' original, and a climactic reprise of 'Please Forgive Me' which builds dramatically to bring the curtain down in style. It also includes a spoken word piece 'Bowie, Babylon, Glastonbury 2000' in which David shares the stranger-than-fiction story of his experience at Glastonbury.
