Easy Star All-Stars

Easy Star All-Stars are the New York-based reggae collective that brought you the brilliant Dub Side of the Moon, an inspired reworking of the classic Pink Floyd album. They followed it up in 2006 with Radiodread, which achieved the unlikely feat of turning OK Computer into a record you can dance to.

Now they're back on the live circuit to promote their Sgt Pepper revamp - Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band. It's a less adventurous choice perhaps, but a commercially sounder one. Dammit, these songs are indestructible - even the most inept busker couldn't stop them sounding joyous and soulful.

Slightly disappointingly, we don't get a rendition of the whole Beatles album tonight, but a smattering of songs from all three records. So spine-tinglers like 'With A Little Help From My Friends' and ' She's Leaving Home' improbably rub shoulders with the millennial angst of 'Airbag' and 'Paranoid Android' and the epic Floydian jams of 'Time' and 'Money'. It shouldn't work but it does.

The band have a knack for breathing new life into even the least memorable tracks. You'll never listen to 'Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite' in the same way after hearing the All-Stars' freakout version. And they valiantly tackle George Harrison's painful sitar composition 'Within You Without You' (the most skipped track in the history of popular music?), although the audience seems largely indifferent to the effort.

But while we also get a few of the band's own songs (they released an EP of original material last year), notable by its absence is 'A Day In The Life'. Seriously, you can't advertise a Sgt Pepper tribute and then not play that tune. Bassist and frontman Ras I Ray closes the evening with a well-intentioned monologue about how "this vibe will heal the world", but I am left with an overwhelming desire to contact Trading Standards.
