Best Gig on Last Tour?
What was your best gig and why?
Manchester was mine, for the set and because I was feeling so much better than Cardiff.

I went to Cardiff and Bournemouth. Cardiff was great, the sound was spectacular but i was suffering with sinusitis so it's Bournemouth for me. Amazing energy (James climbing speaker stacks with Nicky even smiling!) and an even better setlist (SB, DITS).
These shows were brilliant. Up there with their best gigs out of what I've been to

Manchester, definitely. Leicester had been really upsetting and quite traumatic, Nicky obviously ill and struggling and so on, and the crowd seemed so subdued... Leicester was the worst Manics gig of my life, and then Manchester was one of the absolute best. It was immense. Brilliant setlist jiggery pokery meaning the gig flowed much better (and Rewind The Film didn't completely kill the pace), Die In The Summertime, Stay Beautiful, This Is Yesterday... James and Nicky having so much energy, Nicky seeming much better, crowd completely up for it, Cri getting all screamy-teary-emosh for 'This Is Yesterday', Rachel's kickass Nicky outfit, lots of friends there, great queueing weather, Manic Street Mania afterwards.
Yeah, all of this.

I think of the six I went to, it goes:
Manchester (amazing, for the reasons already mentioned). Cardiff and Leeds (both great nights, and that Leeds setlist was such a surprise). Edinburgh (solid enough gig). Wolves (seemed to go pretty well but I was so ill I could barely stand, and almost passed out during ADFL). Leicester (awful, for reasons already mentioned).

Yeah Manchester has got to be up there with the best gigs I've seen. Agree abt Cardiff, the sound was brilliant and loved the visuals behind the band and the screens. Shame I felt so bad, would have really enjoyed it. Sinusitis must have been a nightmare

Do you think Manchester will come out as the best gig of the tour then? I loved it and know lots of others did too. Would take a lot to buit it.

Wolves for me out of Leeds, Cardiff, Leicester, Wolves, Brighton and first Brixton. Leicester was best queuing and Brighton was special for other reasons

We need a poll.
I just did Cardiff and Manchester this time, and Manchester was definitely better. On past tours, I've noticed that Wolves and Glasgow are usually pretty good gigs.
