dingbat2 Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Saw them in Norwich this week and thought they were really good, didnt play either of the songs mentioned above unfortunately, not sure why if they they were planning to play them at G, they would have gone down a treat. I have never thought they were the most engaging of bands but that's fine, that's the way they are, but the crowd were well up for it and loved it, helped by the massively crowd pleasing Hives before. I think they will go down a treat at G, even better than there last Glasto sets to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's inevitable at big shows the crowd is can look amaizng or dead depending where the video is taken. It certainly wasn't representative.

efcfanwirral Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Was trying to avoid the spoilers, but it popped up on my "for you" part of Twitter. We just need them to combine the opening songs they've done On the atmosphere, I literally overheard someone on the train today saying "it'd have been fine if they played a lot from The Car but they just played a load of sh*t I'm not bothered about". Not sure everyone is as into the old stuff as we'd imagine on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've honestly dreamed of hearing this for weeks and have religiously been checking the setlists. Just home from another gig and have seen it. A teeny weeny bit optimistic I'll hear it tomorrow and I'll be a whole lot gutted if I don't considering that they are switching up the opener Edited June 10, 2023 by Digi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Fair enough, I was at uni around the time so Arctic monkeys for me are all about the buzz of the high energy gigs so slower songs were always a bit of a dud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex DeLarge Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Tbh the new setlist and energy that it looks like they have has convinced me to see them again this year. Friday night is a bit thin on the ground for me aside from Fever Ray who won't bring the party and Carl Cox who I'm sure I can ssee again.

I admire this for being a unique take for what most people assumed given the two camps of Arctics fans I recognise the most are those who love the first 2 LPs more than the rest and those who love AM the most. ... he said, being one who wants a rerun of that 2010 gig where they did Humbug and all it's B-sides in full.

The crowd were f**king awful, nobody appeared to even know who the Hives were and it took until the encore before anyone seemed to gain any AM enthusiasm. I did have a great time regardless though and it sealed the deal that I will go and see them again rather than Hot Chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins7 Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Lovely surprise opening with a certain romance on Sheffield night 1, thinking they could open with when the sun goes down tonight.

Glasto setlist could be insane Think I've knackered my back jumping up and down on hearing the opening bars. I've seen them a good few times over the years - tonight was probably my favourite seeing them. The band are really tight, Alex's voice really strong and the setlist just flows really well. The sound was absolutely perfect. I was at Courteeners last night at Heaton Park. The 2 gigs were chalk and cheese. Liam et al could learn a thing from them. I mean, last night was a great singalong but totally mediocre in comparison Even more gutted I'm ticketless now Edited June 10, 2023 by Digi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
