Manic Street Preachers - Brighton Center Tomorrow

[Wilka]

Anyone else going tomorrow?

Saw them at Brixton last night and they were on fire H:guitar:

If you haven't got a ticket I would highly recommend it.

 

[Monkster]

Yep + 4 but no tix as yet....who's the support?

 

[Wilka]

Cherry Ghost are supporting so don't rush!

 

[Grendel]

If I'd realised, I probably would have gone along though more out of curiosity than anything else, as they haven't been on my musical radar for the best part of a decade now.

 

[Braders]

went to see them at the dome earlier this year - very good but not worth taking another days holiday to see them again for me..

 

[Lankyseagull]

Yes - saw them 3 years or so ago when supported by Ian Brown. Great night out!

I was at that one, didn't Ian Brown have a few bottles chucked at him and ended up getting taken offstage by security? Or was that another Ian Brown gig? I was a bit pissed at the time having spent the day in the Lord Nelson. I'm sure it was at least five years ago, as well.

A friend had tickets for the Brighton gig in the summer. Didn't fancy it and it was a bit of a mission getting rid of them. Nobody wanted them, could barely give them away.

 

[Soton Seagull]

I'm going, can't wait. Didn't even like them until I saw them at Glasto a few years back and they blew me away.

 

[Rowdey]

I was lucky enough to tour with them and Catatonia in 2000 - Awesome on stage in big arena's; real 'big gig' feel about them from a production side.

 

[Row Z Creased Shirt]

I'll be there tonight. Saw them at the dome earlier this year and it was fantastic, one of my gigs of the year. Apparently they were great in london the other night too, really looking forward to it.

I just won two tickets courtesy of the Argus

 

[Wilka]

Amazing gig again.

Shame James voice was a bit rough with his cold but still great down the front!

 

[sonicyouth]

i wish i could afford to see them again, saw them in 2002 at the brum NEC and they were absolutely awesome.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Great gig, but the sound engineer should have been shot. Sound all over the place.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Brilliant gig,. they are class. I agree with the comment about poor sound - JDB had to abandon their cover of Rush's "Spirit Of Radio" after about 10 seconds because of feedback, which was a real shame.

I love the fact there was no fannying around with encores - just played the set and then left.

The Manics have only ever played an encore once in their entire gig history (apparently), in their gig in Cuba a few years back.

I seem to recall them playing a cover of It's So Easy by GNFR as part of an encore at Reading 2001.

I was a little the worst for wear though, to be honest!
