elgatonegrofabricwardrobe Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 We're in The Courtyard, posing as students. Put some AF on the jukebox but someone has clogged it with James stuff. Not a bad thing though. I cannot wait. Hope my ears are still ringing on the train up to Silverdale tomorrow for a weekend piss up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aint no-one coming out of that calling it the best ever anything. In fact, I saw 3 gigs that weekend and it wasn't even in the top 2. I'm guessing so. It's the only one of the four UK shows in the round that I've seen a less than completely ecstatic response to. I did check the setlist to Edinburgh and think we got a much better run through in Scunny, but the band on social media seemed more appreciative of the Corn Exchange so y'all musta been better looking.

priest17 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Ahh was wondering why it was so busy in The Wharf earlier, this explains it. Normally I feel like a big kid drinking with the suits, today I felt like a big kid drinking with the suits and a load of posh glittery people. Y'all got lucky with the weather!

stuartbert two hats Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Not quite 2 hours, but plenty of bangers! You know a band is good when one of their 'filler' tracks is the title track from their biggest selling album. That was ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgatonegrofabricwardrobe Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Well that was sumert else. What a band. Pure love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Excellent performance as ever, but makes you appreciate how good the sound is at Glastonbury. Good news Sprawl II fans, they've turned the synths up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyShambles Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wow. Just wow. Not really any surprises but fuck me that's a band on form. Loved it from start to finish. Sounded perfect. Rebellion second song, who does that!? Unreal. Loved every second. Had a great spot down the front, right of the stage as you look at it. Regine looked and sounded amazing, Win looked like he loved every minute. The Love Will Tear Us Apart ending was a nice touch. Cannot wait for them to tour the new album.

DJL Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wow. I have seen them a few times - pyramid, Hackney empire, bowie second line parade in New Orleans etc... but that was just as special. What I wouldn't give for a regime solo album, wih more singles like sprawl 2, produced by win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Fucking WOW.... one of the best gigs Ive ever been to. The most uplifting band on the planet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowls Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Oh my word!!! I think that was better than Scünthorpe!!! Scûnthorpe was a fun party in a tiny venue, but this was such a heartfelt show. I was just expecting a nice pleasant gig and little song along after the great Scùnthorpe show - like the Manchester Radiohead show was to the glasto Radiohead show - but it really hit me for six. Win seemed genuinely touched and sang his heart out more than I've seen before. Here Comes the Nighttime singalong was something else. Never heard singing that loud outside of Glasto -and from a relatively small crowd!! - it was so intense. I nearly cried when Win started singing Love will tear us apart again. Ah! So great! Id say that was top 5 gig material, but my friend asked me what my top 5 gigs were and Ireeled off over a dozen... So I'll just say it's in the upper echelons of what a gig can be (because I'm pretentious like that). As an aside: First time I've been to the Castlefield bowl. Such a great venue - fills with loads of people but feels really intimate. Edited July 6, 2017 by fowls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
