The NATIONAL TREASURES Gig, One Year on...

[Scarecrow]

I loved Nicky's anecdote about Richey pissed, describing Revol as "a song about group sex in the Kremlin".

Yes!!! and Nicky answering he was sure it could be a hit, or something. And during the song James said if Berlusconi was into politics in 1994 this song would have been perfect for him. At that point I wished I could dig a hole in the ground and hide.

Also, Shug recognising me because of my mum, me being quite scary and recognising Karen and Lowri in the toilets and also meeting lots of others from here and twitter

I know all your mums! *evil laugh*

My highlight was watching all the shouty pointy going on to YLU.

It was a beautiful night.

So much memories from that night.I remember me being cold in the queue for 8 hours or more but thanks to Cristina(Cricri)and Simona(Enola Bradfield)even that was a great time.Then I managed to reach the second row(Obv on the James's side )so I had a great view although I am not tall at all. Revol was great and the crowd singing Adfl is an unforgettable moment.Specially loved TBTGOG too as it is one of my fav songs and I've never thought that I could have the chance of listening to it live.The sailor top was a nice surprise too.If I have to say a bad memory about that night I think that is the crowd crushing during the break too.I thought it was insane to be honest.

I think everyone's highlight was me on the big screen during ADFl. Just sayin'. It was mentioned to me at least 20 times after, sometimes by people I'd never met before.

They copped out of playing the So Why So Sad stylophone solo

[Manicben]

I remember not watching the band for several songs and enjoying that fact that an arena that big was singing lyrics like Manics lyrics.

[Industrial Symphony No.1]

Nothing really ruined it but they could've done without the bloody endless Christmas songs being played over and over again before they came onstage! Everything after that was really very enjoyable, the best songs on the night for me were Robeson, Revol, YLAINE and yes I even got a kick out of hearing SWSS live for the first time in donkeys.

[UEF]

I enjoyed the filmed sections with the stirring music and the girl walking around the Big Pit, actually.... that was quite good.

Loved the gig, twas mine and the wife's first trip to 'That London', so we had a little jolly around there too. Only downside for me was the lack of a female vocalist for LBN, though James did a good job in spite of this. Loved the rest of it though, even being up with the Gods, but that will learn us not to leave ordering tickets till the last minute next time.

Revol. Found That Soul...
All of it. Just phenomenal
Lowlight was the tame Stay Beautiful I think, compared to the bite it had had in Wolvo

[Blue]

As others have said, Revol was also one of my highlights of the evening. Have to say that I particularly loved Roses in the Hospital too.

[benwalton]

All the rare tracks that got an airing was awesome. The gig kicked into high gear when they plowed into Love's Sweet Exile with little to no fanfare. It was however really awkward watching So Why So Sad: I still don't get it.

Also, the feeling of complete euphoria that came with A Design for Life was like nothing I've ever felt before. It was like an entire crowd united. That song has become a little tired over the years, but at that show...wow.

Great gig. Great memories...
I miss it!

[everlasting]

Amazing gig. Can't believe it's a year ago. Wow. Revol rocked!!
