It was also Feeder's first show at the festival in 4 years, and was an emotional return. The following day at Leeds was just as amazing, but from reports the guys only played 9 songs instead of the 11 at Reading the day before, with the reason for this is apparently Grant felt his voice was getting a bit iffy near the end, and so cut the set down for the following day at Leeds, also they bizzarely started off with "Pushing The Senses", and that has never been played first in a set before.
Despite his voice concerns, the guys flew off to Japan and confirmed two shows at the Coronet and Roundhouse in London in early Novmeber.
The Japan gigs were a total sucsess, and the two shows in November both sold out rapidly meaning another date was added at the Roundhouse. A date was then added at the Coronet in Elephant and Castle, and then announced "Special guests" there were kept a secret until the days nearing the gig and would be The Sugababes and Jamelia. The gigs would be on the 6th, 7th and 9th of November.
The first night was an absolute stonker, all the live faves were there plus a rather interesting but brilliant collabroation with the Sugababes, which was pulled off brilliantly and then the night ended on a cover of "Nirvana"'s "Breed" straight after "Just a Day".
This then happened again the following night, but whoever the special guest was dropped out the last minute, and was possibly kept as a suprise on the night. "Everybody Hurts"- the REM cover which was performed with the Sugababes the night before, was this time Grant singing the whole song.
The final night at the Coronet was the best of the lot, the band blew the place off it's foundations and this time collaborated with Jamelia, and "Save Us" made a return to the set for the first two gigs, and the Coronet seen the return of "Forget About Tomorrow" instead of the afforementioed track.
At the end of the year Feeder finally after 11 years of recording, and 12 years for performing, become according to "The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and Albums", one of the most sucsessful UK charts acts of all time!!!!!!!.
Another brilliant year on the Feeder front ended, and in the best possible way!.
