If anyone's wanting a ticket for the gig Wednesday night let me know, it's seated unfortunately but open to offers of over £30

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.

honestly thought courteeners were supporting tonight... a little buzzing that it is tomorrow!

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.

For those that have been what was the approx timings for things?

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.

Google it, there's a timings list on the MEN website

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.

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

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.

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!

We walked back into town last night then got an uber home.

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.

You're right.

 

Sorry.

You're right.

 

Sorry.

Good man

Ace. I'm in

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.

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

How big? Was he tapping you on the top of the head with it?

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

The sooner they split up again, and Browny gets solo tunes out, the better.

Squire looked like he needed 20p for a cup of tea

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.

Why?

 

If they can bring new material out, how does it make them any different to AC/DC, U2, The Who et al?

 

Pearl Jam play "Alive" at every gig and have done so for 26 years - they might get bored but the crowds certainly haven't yet.

 

 

Personally, I can't see a time when hearing the opening to Adored will ever lose its thrill.
