So embarrassing isn’t it, home town show too and a massive old song 

That is right on the periphery though. 

But the people chatting are a disgrace.

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

When the sun goes down too. God damn. 

Edit: could be a wind up. 

my money is on that being held for Glasto, what else could they pull out the bag?

Everyone around me went absolutely wild for it to be fair. 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.

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

Two feet first straight in with A Certain Romance tonight.

Seeing them tomorrow (tonight). 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

Missus was close and central and atmosphere looked ace thankfully.

You'll always get your periphery chatters.

Surprised people are so buzzing for a certain romance always thought it was one of the weakest songs a good album

It's just really nostalgic for many I think. It was personally a song I'd listen to on the way to school, just feels like a song I grew up with.

[BBC7BBCHEAVEN]

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

[Alex DeLarge]

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.

It's happening

 

Edit: got pranked by setlistfm

It was put in earlier in the night as well. Must be a favourite trolling attempt.

Setlist FM has been full of this for the whole tour.

Interesting. 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.

For those who went last night - what time did AM come on? Just wondering as I'm going tonight but probably won't make the support acts

Were we at the same gig? 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.

Lovely surprise opening with a certain romance on Sheffield night 1, thinking they could open with when the sun goes down tonight. Then hopefully play both at glastonbury

Think this is a fair shout. They’ll have a lot of fans who just know them from AM onwards

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
