20/11/10 – Forum, Melbourne Australia

[Takk]

A thread to discuss the gig.

[bluehammer]

Hell yeah. This is the gig I'm looking forward to the most out of the 3 I'm seeing. Best venue, best fans... should be huge.

[startnarrative]

When I told my sister the Melbourne show was at the Forum she predicted it would be "magical." Here's hoping!

[bluehammer]

It's a sensational venue. They're a great band. Only they can screw it up now :-)

[startnarrative]

Great venue, the sky/star ceiling, that statue off to the side that looks like he's texting through every single gig!

[j0wled]

I can't wait. Nine days! I went online and looked at some pictures, and the venue looks fantastic. Basically an awesomer version of the Civic in Auckland with the fake curved ceiling and all.

[mogadoh]

Man i am seriously excited about this. 11 long years of hoping through every tour announcement that Australia would be included. 'Finally'!

If anyone is interested there should be a meet up at 5pm at Spleen bar, 41 Bourke St on the day.

A couple of drinks and getting to the venue (relatively) early sounds good to me. Mail me at regangallagher@hotmail.com and i'll keep you up to date.

Did anyone else see the setlist from the Brisbane show? Lots of classic Manics but there were no 'Journal..' songs. Still, i won't be complaining about whatever they choose to play the way i see it we're all bloody lucky we're getting them at all!

Spleen Bar? The name sounds pretty awesome. I may try to make it.

Haha it is isn't it. It's a great little place actually, darkish with nice atmosphere and all that. See if you can make it should be a laugh.

Very excited to be heading over to Melbs for this show from Adelaide.

[pinkshiro]

I keep pinching myself, can't believe I get to see them.

Will be heading over to Melbs from CHCH, NZ this Friday.

[bluehammer]

Excellent. It'll knacker my money supply if i have to get a taxi home but hell it'll be worth it. Oh and apparently James said to a fan after the Sydney gig that they'll try to make it back in a couple of years. I'm really pleased that this tour has gone pretty well so far not only for us fans but for the band as well.
