Was a great gig, Super furries as support... Was really near the front of the queue with green wristbands... had to beg to be given a wristband as I didn't have my ticket - I had to pick it up from the box office as I'd bought with an Aussie credit card. Had queued for a couple of hours and then was told 'sorry mate, no ticket no wristband'. A bunch of cool locals in the queues gave it a bit of 'come on mate, he's come from Australia for this (not quite... london via fishguard )' and they gave me a wristband. Hour later had to dash to the box office then rejoin the queue.

Brilliant show, might dig out a couple of pics if i can find them...

that is one impressive list.

[drugdrugdruggy]

Wow, you're all so lucky!
Haven't seen them once yet, but that will change after I've seen them this summer! I know it's just a festival and all, but that's my only chance at the moment. But I'm certainly not complaining!

Mine is in my sig - pathetic compared to a lot of people on here... lol

I was slightly surprised that I didn't see them for nearly 2 years, it felt alot less than that, and I'm positive I've missed one but looking at the gigography I can't work it out. The ones I have starred are my particular favourites, I would have included Liverpool because I was at the time in a relationship but that soured and the setlist wasn't as great as I thought it was, I think I've crossed that with the excellent Hammersmith gig on that tour and the Southampton one before it. Brighton had Hots supporting a band that I saw 16 times, so the Manics are close to overtaking that record though maybe Ash is up there too.

Edit: Also attended one of James Dean Bradfield's solo shows in London Camden
