Technically its all relics fault as she said she kept a record of what they played everytime shes seen them, and I do a spreadsheet so I got jealous and had to make my own. Then once you've got a spreadsheet a graph is the obvious next step. And statistics. I became briefly mildly obsessed with manics live statistics, theres a thread about lack of variety in setlists with about ten 'actually I think you'll find...' posts from me within the course of a couple of days.

The graph is solo shows as well - so it totals 160 but only 140 of them are properly the manics. I like it when its a round number, like I had to go to Poland as I thought otherwise it might end on 149 last year and that would have been dreadful, though then I found some more to do anyway so it was all fine really.

There should be a Manics Loyalty Card for people like you. A free gig after 10 gigs or something like that.

And for not being completely off-topic:
29/05/09 - London Camden Roundhouse
30/05/09 - London Camden Roundhouse
04/08/09 - Lokerse Feesten, Belgium

Looks quite ridiculous in comparison.

I think it works the other way - plus you have geography working against you and youth and a modicum of common sense working for you

You must have been at a different gig as from where I was they were fantastic at MOVE. Being at the front was amazing and they played a great set.

Will list my gigs when I can get the info together as I always forget some.

My word - hats off!

Mine is rather paltry by comparison:

Cardiff CIA - Jan 05
Wolves Civic - Apr 05
Cardiff Solus (JDB) - Oct 06
Cardiff Uni, first night - May 07
Cardiff Uni, second night - May 07
Wolves Civic - May 09

Yeah, I bought a flat rather than going to America. I think America would have been the better option.
