Forum gig - F*CKING BRILLIANT

[Tugger2k]

man, what a brilliant gig, so good to have them back.

they need to sack their roadies tho, that technichal glitch at the start meant that they nearly lost the crowd for a bit.

but they are sounding tighter than ever. i though it was difficult for them dropping so much new stuff early - but they pulled it off.

there were real moments of genius in the set too. from punding onwards it just built and built and built.

and the encore, oh the encore. what a great set up.

andy, jez & jimi i salute you......................now bring on brixton!!! (especially as thats a friday night in the big smoke - getting home at 1am this morning with work toady was hard work)

[Yokel Again]

cracking gig. 3 or 4 really strong sounding new songs (on a first listen). Loved Jetstream and Kingdom of Rust. Could have done one or so more off Lost Souls if i'm being really picky (in place of what i don't know though), otherwise, fantastic.

Great gig. As good as the new stuff is, I didnt think the new stuff stood up that well against the older stuff to be honest. Maybe it's because I dont know it well yet. They will bring the house down at glasto!

Words instead of sea song though

Just heard them on BBC6 saying they are headlining the John Peel tent, not yhe other stage, not sure if it'd been mentioned

[darrenbha]

lets hope for a second set somewhere else. not keen on headliners at the john peel myself

[Tugger2k]

also, i bet its friday, the only confirmed act that id actually miss doves for at glasto is NY (only because the chances of seeing NY again are very slim)

[darrenbha]

and there was me thinking they'd clash with the wonderstuff, that'd be my toughie

really concerned that once everythings announced this year will be a nightmare for clashes

[Tugger2k]

this is a lie right? I really cant see this being true at all. No chance.

Tugger - 10.03 was f**king brilliant wasnt it. Words was ace too but goddammit! I was certain we were gonna get sea song!!

John Peel headline's not ideal - going to have to get to the v front for best sound.

Last night was superb. I not familiar with the new material (except KoR and Jetstream) but all sounded great.

I can't wait for the album, and am impressed it was hasn't leaked yet! (has it?)

And coming on at the beginning, only to go off due to drum sound not working for 10 minutes did look a bit shabby. But only heightened anticipation really.

Northenden was dodgy though, the mic/amp set-up wasn't right for an acoustic guitar.

Words was a masterstroke. Love that song.

I going to listen to Lost Sides now..........

[Tugger2k]

Cheers.

Did you see the guy in the pink jumper (looked like Paul O'Grady) jumping around with hands in the air?!

I wish I could say this was me,

But i wasn't far from him. He was in heaven.

[fingers_mark]

nope, i was in my own little world and didnt really take much notice of the crowd.

i was too busy jumping up and down to everything

[fingers_mark]

It was interesting for Jimi not to play drums at all until the encore.

Hazy memory, but didn't they have to pull a song or two when they last played Glastonbury, as they had drum problems then as well.

Could have been Here it Comes.

And......... next up Cambs Corn Ex - Apr 15. Their next gig!

[Tugger2k]

The Here It Comes video?

That was the best with northern soul dancers
