Best bit of the night was seeing Fitzy starting a fight with some women directly in front of me.
NSAF,Roses and Tolerate particular highlights but seeing the Design vid bits was just amazing.

That was the worst Manics gig I've ever been to. Bugger going all the way to Swansea to see that abomination of a setlist twice in a week. What should have been just about the one saving grace of the second set - Walk Me To The Bridge - was ruined by Nicky's bass being completely nonexistent. The other would-be highlights were duff as well - that flange effect just didn't suit Roses; Interiors, TGWWTBG and Removables sounded flat; Small Black Flowers was ruined by fair-weather fans talking through it; and NatWest... had that "chuck in a token GT song but don't bother rehearsing it properly" feel to it.
Kinda wish they'd just finished on NSAF, which was actually properly euphoric. I am a massive moan, mind.

In complete contrast to the above post I thought it was brilliant! Up there with the second RAH gig for best of the tour for me. Band seemed up for it and the crowd seemed lively round me but not overly aggressive, unlike Leeds last night. Only real negative that dawned on me part way through the second half was we got three cover songs (SIP, Raindrops and Feels Like Heaven), which seems a bit of a waste when they could have played a couple of their own songs instead, but hey ho.
Now to very much enjoy a week of no gigs before the final furlong in Swansea next weekend; definitely need to give my poor feet and back a rest!

I really enjoyed it. Thought the sound could have been better - but guess that's a venue issue. Nicky was chatty, thought the trumpet guy was a nice addition for some of the songs and great to see the background vids for EMG. Loved Small Black Flowers, NSAF and Roses in particular - could have lived without Feels like Heaven, that song refuses to grow on me, but overall thought was an awesome night.

Thought it was fantastic. Had no problems with the sound from up in the gallery. The EMG set lived up to expectations, NSAF sounded completely epic and SBF was beautiful. Really enjoyed the second set, NatWest and Roses were great fun and the band definitely seemed to be on top form, I thought James and Nicky were really funny. Loved the video screens too, especially during ADFL and ME, made it feel like a proper experience. I didn't think IYTT would work as a closer, but it actually really did, it felt like the gig ended on a real high. Only thing I could have done without was drunken louts to my left shouting throughout, especially during the acoustic sections (I don't follow football, but still I was left with no doubt that Hibs had won the match, I'd rather hear the music though). Overall, a top night!

James was on pristine form, he seemed thrilled to be there! The post gig depression is kicking the shit out of me right now. Back to work tomorrow but Im thirsty for more! Absolute radio 90's are currently playing 'forgotten' manics tracks if anyone is interested.

I've thought to myself, since the end of the gig last night; 'I cant wait another year and a half to see them live'. MORE!!!
My friend wondered if they might celebrate 20 years of This is My Truth  I promised myself I'd go to more than 1 night for their next tour. I'm too greedy and selfish for that to be it for the forseeable future.
