I liked how they came back out after doing the THB set and they were in different clothes and James said 'Hello Dublin' as if it were a different band playing the THB set.

I thought Takk was taking the piss when he included it in the setlist...

Holy. Fuck.

What an amazing gig. My body aches, my mind is shattered and my throat is fucked. What a band, what an album.

This is Yesterday was a particular highlight for me, probably the closest I've ever been to crying at a gig tbh (hey, it's been a long year!). Disappointed not to hear 1985 but, even though I dislike Postcards the album, the song itself is fantastic and it went down really well. And like a few others have said, Manics shows need the likes of You Love Us, Tolerate etc, the place went wild for those.

Picked up a nice grey religious tee as well.

Also lovely to meet Rich, Chloe and Donna before the gig. I say this every tour, but I really need to go to more dates.

I'm wrecked. Time for bed.

1985 was on the setlist ( someone caught a pic of the sound desk) so a little disappointed it got missed out.

I'll never go to a Dublin gig again. The crowd was so apathetic for the second set. Could barely hear Divine Youth over the chatting. Not a scratch on the Glasgow crowd....

You might have been unlucky with who you were standing close to. I didn't have that problem where I was. My main issue was someone near me had obviously had a dodgy dinner and couldn't stop farting (seriously!)

Might have been near me. Got the same stench during the second set.

Pineapple - I presume you were (like me) standing near the left entrance - just behind the last 'barrier' - there was a constant barrage - indeed the Intense Hum Of Evil came from whoevers arse it was :s - disgusting like.

I do have to say it was kinda weird for me - the last time I saw the Manics which was in The Olympia - tbh I'm not sure when but I think it was the time before last

(actually I've just remembered it musta been Lifeblood so these 10 years have passed pretty quick to me o_O) - there was much more energy or something in the crowd. At the very start though with everyone singing along to Chemical Brothers Faster Remix - that was boss.

For me I hoped (although it was probably ridiculous), that I would get Comfort Comes, Judge Yr'self and Sculpture Of Man in the second set, but alas I didn't.
