Post Manics Blues
The only reason I'm not going to this one is no flights from Brisbane could get me there on time after work on Sun night. I think I really should have been one of those fans who planned to go to all the gigs from the start. I hope they come back soon so I can do that. I'm also in withdrawl - glad I caught them in Brisbane and Adelaide, sad I didn't get to see more and meet them. Tears galore last night. Is there such a thing as post concert blues?
Hopefully one of my Facebook friends will be going tonight after I and another Sydney friend ranted about how good they are. I hope one of you going gets to post some great photos. Enjoy! |

The gig was just brilliant. Words can't really do it justice.
I never knew there were so many fans in Perth. Metropolis is a fairly small venue, I think the capacity is 1500, but I don't think it was a sellout by any means. James' said Perth fans were the loudest during the singalong to Everlasting. Aww, I bet he says that to all the towns. A couple of standout moments for me;
Met the boys after the show (round the back of the building for those that are interested). They were all so happy and obliging with photos, autographs & chats. James apologised for the technical difficulties (some sort of amp issue, did anyone catch his my bloody valentine quip? ). I think I saw a few of you there, I was the sweaty mess in the faceless sense of void shirt. There are already a few vids on youtube. These are not mine, but whoever did them - thanks!! Australia Everlasting Here's a photo of Nick after the show;

Oh my gosh. Thats it....Come and gone!
So, to sum it up: - Finally saw them live. Finally after all these years! - Amazing setlist and trip down memory lane, given it was my first concert. - Meeting them in person & telling them how much i appreciate & love them.....priceless - James saying they will be back in 2 years. YAY! - The finale...Design for Life....best 5 minutes of my life And to finish off: Long live the Manics. One of the best bands EVER! |

it was a brilliant gig...i saw them in Sydney as well and i thought this one was a notch above, i put this down to James playing his LP Custom without the pick-up covers (which he didn't do in Sydney), i noticed it as soon as he put the guitar on, and when You Love Us started the difference was noticeable.
my mate took a photo of me and James, though he doesn't look too impressed, i assure you he was overwhelmed to meet me...
