Four years ago, with Chris Evans acting as PR man and a stylish new makeover complete, things seemed to be finally looking up for Sharleen Spiteri and Texas. It was time to ditch those cowboy boots, hire a DJ, become the "face of '97" and sell a few million albums in the process. On Friday, Texas brought their smooth blend of coffee-table pop back to Dublin for a sell-out show at the Point Depot.

In Demand let the band settle into the gig without much difficulty and it took Black-Eyed Boy to storm the set into life. Halo saw the DJ take a rest from his relentless scratching, but Ally McErlaine filled the void with some swampy wah guitar. Once In A Lifetime proved that Sharleen could hold that unnecessary endof-song note for as long as any Mariah or Celine. But then again, this was the Sharleen Spiteri show. She told jokes, chatted with the photographers and even dragged an over-zealous heckler up onstage for some Bono-esque "dancin' with the fans".

The barstools and 12-strings were brought out for Put Your Arms Around Me and the absence of filler let the song's quality drift around the Point.

I Don't Want A Lover allowed us to smack our heels one last time, McErlaine's slide guitar reminding us of the way things used to be. The celebratory mood of the gig was emphasised as the back-up singers went bouncing across the stage for Summer Son. Texas returned for the new single, Inner Smile, and the Elvis theme was held with a well-executed version of Suspicious Minds.

Another encore? Go on then, it's a Greatest Hits tour after all. And so Sharleen led us through the singalong abandon of Say What You Want before inviting us all down to Grafton Street for Guinness.
