Apart from the one on the right, that's Sean

Can't believe the cheeky buggers wheeled out Sorrow 16 again. Some day I shall hear a rarity, damnit.

Utterly fucking amazing gig. No matter how many times I see them live I never grow tired of hearing them play. JFPL is perfect live. Their greatest hits set was well balanced and they played 'Sorrow 16', so I orgasmed at that point. Someone stole my feather boa towards the end (cunts), there were too many 40 year old skinhead pissheads (also cunts) but otherwise it was another perfect night in with Manic Street Preachers.

And I also met little AbbyManic, A Boy Called Rita (who hugged me! yay!) and a couple of others too. An excellent night.

Oh! And who else bought badges?!

Why have their ages got anything to do with it? There's a fair chance they were going to Manics gigs before you even had pubes.

Although to be fair, pissed people of any age at gigs annoy me.

Well, they probably weren't 40. Anywhere between 35 and 50, I'd say. But I guess my point is that you'd think being older fans they'd know how to conduct themselves a little more maturely, rather than throwing beer over people, spitting, shouting at the stage during the beautiful acoustic 'Facing Page:Top Left' and generally behaving like teenage chavs of some kind.

They certainly sound a bit chavvy but maybe they just couldn't handle their beer. A lot of guys of that age who don't get out much due to family/wife/other commitments tend to end up too drunk when they do drink because they don't do it as often as they used to. I'm not using myself as an example because I don't drink.

Thanks for all this! Glad you all had a great night.

Well, you know what it's like. Excellent gig that you enjoy immensely gets slightly tarnished by idiotic behaviour on the part of others. Just having my little rant, getting it out of the way, and then basking in the glow of another amazing MSP gig for the rest of the night

just two crappy shots from the civic tonight. God my camera's cack at pics in the dark. It's good at video recording though, and i'll try uploading the vid sometime soon.
