Agreed (well, not about your shoulder, can't comment on that one  :) ). Great night. 5 hours and 300 mile round trip was totally worth it.

It was awesome - great crowd as ever and only a tiny bit of idle chatter during the J&D set (people just can't help themselves!).

Highlights:

Before I Get Old (JS&DW set)
Turn Away (JS&DW set)
March in Septemer - what a belter, just love that drum beat.
Flying Through the Smoke and Red Earth - great additional percussion by Ceri.
1984
Spirit of the Falklands

One of my fave ever sets and gigs. Also loved Justin's comment to the security guard about towers / shoulder rides: "They've been in training for months and if they fall it's not your fault!" Priceless!
.                                                                               I'm just a country mile behind the world...

Excellent comment and fair play to security they didn't bother anyone :)

Barty I did have to ask one lady behind me to pipe down a bit when chatting to her mate but she had already blotted her copy book with me as I overheard her say she preferred The Levellers ( as you can imagine a red rag to a bull for me) but apart from that I couldnt hear too much idle chatter at all.
I was over come at one point to tell Michael how much we loved him (sorry but the occassion just got to me)
What a brilliant gig and who else could you see that would make you feel how I feel today :)

Agree with all comments. Only my 2nd NMA gig but was excellent, great venue, great setlist.
Does anybody have setlist?
We always burned brightest when no one was watching.

Great night. Six hundred mile round trip helped by a night at the Prem Inn. Idle chatter around us at the start. Politely told them to shut the f*** up, worked a treat.

Good meet pub, great to see Belzza again, you missed  a great curry mate, as Bazza will testify. Cheers also to your mate, very interesting to chat to. Hope he got the bus home okay. 1984 was a highlight. Never understand why the volume is turned up to distorted level at the end, but hey ho. Brilliant gig. Already looking forward to Xmas gigs abroad next year, and any other tour. Cheers again Bazza for the company, if not always the directions....
Today is a good day, however, yesterday was s.... The older I get the better I was.

Loved the gig - was excellent as usual (apart from being moaned at the whole way through the JS and DW set by a "witch" who proceeded  to put a curse on me and the chap next to me because we wanted to listen to the set without her moaning in our ears).

Am not a particular fan of lead guitar but by 'eck, Marshall's bloody fantastic.

Amazing!

Thanks to the guys who hoisted me up during one of the songs (sorry too many newkie browns to remember which one it was). :o

At one point i was stood by the bar searching for my brother-in-law who came with me. My thought process was to try and identify him by his balding head. I suddenly realised after looking over the crowd there were a lot of people that matched that description. I soon gave up! :D

Some of us are getting on a bit as fans!

Hi all,

Cracking set list, it's nice to see a wide variety of older songs. For some reason, I have no memory of Ceri's drumming at all. I assume I was lost in the moment...

Top night and thanks for the set list, reads as well as it sounded.

This time my turn to lose a watch in the pit(s) (there seem to be a number of sprawling interrelated pits at Rock City) but it only cost me £7.50 and I did find half the strap at the end!
A sacrifice worth making I feel.

One heck of a curry afterwards in the Indian just down the hill and round the corner.  Didn't make it to the NMA disco and was too knackered for Ferocious Dog (we have one at home anyway).

Great to see pretty much everyone there - shame you couldn't make it Darren. And didn't see JME?

Roll on new album and supporting tour(s).
