Big City Girl Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 They should fill big massive swimming pools full of lager and just let everyone graze like wilder beast at the back. Dragons Den! It's a yes from me. Quote
Whites man Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 If people are being asked to pay £65 for a concert ticket most are going to expect the singer to be of high standard Your serious musoes have Bob Dylan doing away with singers having to be pitch perfect, smartly dressed, good looking etc back in the early 60's. Times they are a changing. Quote
Dr Faustus Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 honestly thought courteeners were supporting tonight... a little buzzing that it is tomorrow! Quote
tshape Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Went on friday and enjoyed it although not as much as Heaton Park. Thought the sound was poor for the 1st half after being spot on for Coral and Public Enemy. Thinks seemed to improve as it got darker. Could've just been me. Fella on the walk up made me laugh trying to sell glittery purple trilbies. An any hat will do approach. Quote

mickbrown Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 I just can't bring myself to go. There is an element of 'never go back' but deep down I reckon I'm a musical snob and I'd spend all the gig looking down at folk who weren't even born first time round, or if they were you just know they were listening to Phil Collins and Dire fucking Straits back in 1989.

Spider Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 For those that have been what was the approx timings for things? Google it, there's a timings list on the MEN website Quote

My mate took his 16 year old, it was a joy to see music we grew up with having the same impact on the next lot. Proves our point that most modern music is cow shit and we were right all along. Embrace it. Quote
jules_darby Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 For those that have been what was the approx timings for things?Roses are/were 9pm Courteeners are 6:35pm tonight Yesterday was ace apart from the aforementioned bar queues which were ridiculous Had a great bounce around, saw some nobheads nit most folk were just really happy Looking forward to the return leg later Quote
Gumbo Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Watched Heaton and Abbot on the flat who were very good. Public Enemy not my bag. Went to the top of the first tier for Roses. Watching the crowd bounce to made of stone was my highlight. Looking forward to tonight to see if Teeners can put on a show. Quote
Mike Hunt Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 What time they been finishing? Travel back tonight looks a mare. Last tram 2243 and only 1 bus back to Piccadilly. They put any extra on? Not sure the girls fancy a walk back to Piccadilly for last train! Quote
Gumbo Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 We walked back into town last night then got an uber home. Quote

Dont worry upper tier has sold out. You needn't worry:) Quote

See I think opinions like that come from people that can't let go of madchester etc. I like the music like a lot of others but to say everything else is a bit poo smacks of someone who can't let go.

enzo gambaro Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Was talking to a young lad yesterday who'd been on Thursday. Asked him who the support was and he said it was Public Enemy - said he'd never heard of him before but he was pretty good. I haven't stopped shaking my head since. Quote
Bigtoe Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Thought they were great last night Public Enemy were brilliant. How good was there DJ? Liam Gallagher was sat in the box behind us the big knob Quote

Dr Faustus Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 my £26 tickets turned out to be literally to the side of the stage but they upgraded us to the pitch and gave us some wristbands that I probably should've explored more the actual roses performance was a little off in parts, but that's not the point... my 15 year old loved, and I introduced her to Mary Ds Squire looked the bollocks Quote
Pablo Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 The sooner they split up again, and Browny gets solo tunes out, the better. Quote
Bigtoe Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Squire looked like he needed 20p for a cup of tea Quote
Pablo Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Now all us have ticked this box, time to end it for good. Massive signs in these performances that they are going the way they did in 1995, end it now, before they kill it completely. Quote
