I really hope this gig gets a DVD release. Of course, I will then have to sit through that over-rated, tone-deaf 'singer' ruining 'Let Robeson Sing' but hey. A decent live version of 'Indian Summer' would be good though.

[Flint]

Yeah it's a bit annoying that a rarity like full-band Robeson has been given for a guest singer to sing but ah well, at least we've got full band Robeson again.

Loving the fact that they're clearly saving TLORN and TBTGOG for the grand finale.

They rarely come to North America, my chances are slim! One day though!

This set will never be seen again... wish I was there.

think this is what you are looking for -

of course it's a fucking huge event in Manicdom and loads of us would wish to be there; merely having a look at the comment "people are getting bored", looking at the set list and getting to a conclusion......

and this set will be wheeled out in another 8 - 10 years when they do another greatest hits, since they say there will be no singles off the next albums.

Back already with Australia.

Repeat sample thingy as an intro to second half - "London, England - Consider yourselves WARNED"

Nah, not really. The only reason I'm posting so much is when I didn't no-one else found the stuff I'm finding and I felt bad. I was curious what they'd do and I could've gone, and I knew what they'd play... but really I've seen all of these songs which I want to see. Too much money for old rope. I was at the tour for the last greatest hits, which is enough for me.

You will never see the Manics play a gig like this again though

probably not, no - trust with most of the worst songs out of the way the fans and band have an amazing last 90 minutes or so tonight.

Love James's sailor top - he made an effort
