Was Margate not meant to be the worst Manics gig ever?

It was pretty subdued and really rather depressing, maybe a major factor in my eleven year long hiatus!

Not got the biggest appearance list but here goes...
September 1993 - Milton Keynes Bowl 2003/2004 - Cardiff International Arena 8th April 2014 - 02 Academy Bournemouth Er, that's it. I'm not a major gig-goer as you can tell, probably only been to 20 concerts in my life. But always loved the Manics and guilty of leaving it too long between seeing them. |

That was my first Manics gig! My memory fails me about how good/bad they were as it was so long ago but I remember enjoying it purely because it was my first time seeing them, and getting to hear Yes, Stay Beautiful and This Is Yesterday. I loved that one of my other favourite bands, Mogwai, were supporting them too. So it was pretty good for me! Personally the Wembley one I went to later that year was the worst Manics gig I've been to, probably the most plodding setlist I've seen them play.

That's Kettering isn't it, same tour. I think Margate was supposed to be alright. Port Talbot was where it was at though, still one of my favourite manics gigs.
229 for me for what its worth, but I like going to see gigs a lot and travelling which makes it easier, saw another band for the 100th time at the weekend. |

Amanda (L) - Port Talbot in my top three ever too.
I must work mine out and post here, but I have forgotten so much, plus I have ticket stubs for gigs I definitely didn't go to, so hell knows how I will work it out, plus I was in a drunken stupor for the whole of 1994. |

It got to a point it seemed like I was just queuing for the sake of queuing so I tried not doing it and had a much better time. I guess things change with time but these days I'd rather go down the pub, stand a bit further back and have a dance. Perhaps if Wire ever got back on the booze I'd be tempted back down the front. |
