Jesus and Mary Chain last night.

[Franks Wild Years]

Well F*** me !! It was great, I had a massive grin on my face from start to finish. The gig was back to front with encores at the beginning so They came on and did about 6 or seven songs not on Psychcandy. Went off then came back and played through the album. Bloody hell what a magnificent noise.
Williams guitar dominated the whole thing probably a bit to much but man if you love immersive guitar noise you won't be disappointed.
I'll definately be trying for tickets for next years tour. And I guess any gig that leaves you wanting more has done its job. Brilliant stuff.

Can't wait for the Brighton show.

Gutted that your spare went begging. What a waste.

 

[Albion Dan]

Cool going To see them Monday.

It was a shame indeed. But what really pisses me off and always has is touts outside with handfuls of tickets for a sold out gig then you get in and there's rows of empty seats. These people are the scum of the earth. Promoters don't have to worry cos the cash is on the bank for them, bands have got to start insisting that tickets get sold by fairer means.

Some acts are now doing this. I've recently bought tickets for Damon Albarn, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and Kraftwerk which were/ are personalised tickets. If the name on the ticket doesn't match your ID then you don't get in apparently.

Christ, that was loud! Was good, but I was left wanting a bit more. End of Psychocandy, walk off, lights up.

 

[caesar]

Going on Monday . Can't wait ! What time did it finish as I am trying to work out train times back to Brighton ?

 

[Falmer Flutter ©]

About 10.45. They came on at 9.30ish.

Incredible gig. My ears are still knackered now. Thought at one point through Reverence that my ears we gonna start bleeding. Really good to see them back on form.

Managed to get out of the venue about 1100, and back to London Bridge by 1120.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Looking even more forward to this now.

 

[The Modfather]

Sounds bloody fantastic, can't wait for the Brighton gig

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Lest we forget what a GLORIOUS wall of pure pop noise JAMC created...

 

[Stato]

What a glorious noise.

 

[Godstar]

That was F***ING GREAT!!

 

[Green Man]

What a glorious noise.

Glorious but NOT LOUD ENOUGH.

Always love a middle age mosh pit tho , , ,

Just back from The Dome - sweet Jesus that was incredible and so deaf

The last time I saw them was in 1992 and part of the Radio 1 Rollercoaster tour - it featured them, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jnr and some one hit wonders at the time called Blur

Tonights set was just so so good and probably added to a few cracks in The Domes plaster work along the way !!

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

A brilliant evening - especially once Psychocandy got going. Did not have that high an expectation but the songs sounded as fresh as ever. Don't think I have ever inhaled as much dry ice at a concert.

 

[brighton bluenose]

A fantastic evening and the girlfriend who doesn't know JAMC from Adam really enjoyed it too - happy days all round!!

I thought that they were better last night than they were at that gig. I wasn't sure when they started with April Skies which sounded clean, twangy and a bit too much like other bands, but by the time they played Upside Down it was obvious that they were going to be relentless through Psychocandy. My ears are still ringing, but it feels like the inside of my head has been power-washed.
