Well that was rather good
. Nice to meet people without falling on table tennis tables, drunkenly rambling, or generally making a tit of myself. The gig was ok as well

Brilliant! Loved Revol, definite highlight.
Met some lovely people from both twitter and FD. Couldn't really enjoy the last few songs because my mum texted saying she was picking me up instead of my dad because my gran was in hospital buuut apart from that, amazing!

Quick word of praise for the security at the 02, once they saw the size of my pregnant wife, they couldn't do enough for us (4 separate personnel spoke to us at regular intervals) they 'upgraded' our seats to Wheelchair access ones, so we had a brilliant view
Yet another highlight - watching 95% of the standing crowd raising their arms in unison to 'You Love Us' it looked amazing from the seats! It really was a brilliant gig - did anyone else feel the time flew by?!

Just read through the thread; seems such a shame that I had to sleep and slept through the live updates. Looks like a really great show, hope I'll be somewhere near the UK the next time they put on a show (well, unless they do Asia).

There were so many cameras there filming I'm assuming they're making a DVD? It might have just been for the screens though. Hmm.
I agree - Revol and Love's Sweet Exile were both amazing

Had a good time tonight. I basically spent my whole time doing air drums, air cowbells and air keyboard (Found That Soul keyboards are where it's at) and having a good ole bitch with Franny whenever a shit song came on.
I was so proud of JDB tonight, like a mother that's proud of their child being Joseph in the school panto. His singing was on top form throughout. Revol and Love's Sweet Exile were just incredible, worth the ticket price alone. Grace of God was absolutely beautiful as was Empty Souls. I love TLORN but it didn't work very well live. Landslide was so slow it was almost comical. She Is Suffering was probably the most disappointing of the night though, slow to the point where it became boring and a Patrick Jones-esque video with a pole dancing woman's face randomly becoming a comedy prop skeleton was so distracting that I couldn't stop giggling enough to really listen to the song. The Everlasting, Indian Summer and This Is The Day lull was poo as well but hey ho, it wasn't as bad as it sounds. The queuing system was a bit of a mess tbh. Queuing for 10 hours just to be overtaken by 20+ people was pretty bloody frustrating when you rely on the barrier to stop bad feet pain (but at least I have now perfected my Nicky Wire pain gurn). I guess it's my fault to giving into peer pressure and queuing earlyish. So anyway, good gig all in all and The Manics definitely did good. Oh, also, sorry for those around me in the queue and the gig itself as I was acting exceptionally annoying today. I blame Franny and srhgrg.
