I had been under the impression that Manics fans were generally pretty tame, but it didn't seem so at The Metro.

Still the greatest concert experience of my life! Sad I only got to see them for one date, but I had to make a trip of that one. And I got to meet Nicky & James briefly at the end!
Were you wearing a blue top? If so, I was right behind you for almost the whole show - sorry that I got shoved into you so many times. It wasn't me.

People were a lot more aggressive this time. But then again, the crowd was so small that a handful of drunk douchebags seem like a bigger contingent than they actually were. I was hoping one of those guys at the end would drop his setlist while fighting about it so that I could grab it and run, but no luck.

No- I was wearing a black top with lace. Fortunately the only people who got smashed into me were the ones doing the smashing so it wasn't too bad overall.

I agree- the four rowdy people were really nothing in the spectrum of the entire crowd. It just seems worse when you're the one stuck next to all four of them at some point!

It wasn't a fight. i was just trying to hold onto the setlist. Jesus.

Got one after that, anyway. All good. Told the guy I was sorry. did that really ruin all y'all's night? Damn.

The set list altercation came far from ruining my night! Unless you count my slight sadness from not getting a set list - but that had nothing to do with what happened

Only thing close to ruining things for me was the pushy girl who totally blocked me right in the middle of the second set, plus the guys during ADFL. But if those were the worst things that happened, not bad.
I had a great spot in the crowd, I got a photo with Nicky, & my favorite band played my favorite album & then some. Those were my memories of the night!

Glad you got a set list in the end, btw!
