As always a great gig, I thought the sound was a bit iffy compared to bath gig. Loved the cult cover and Motown junk. A tour next year would be wonderful, Nicky's jacket was great, did someone make it for him?

Public service broadcasting felt underserved by the visuals, I saw them in Belfast few years ago and they were immense. I didn't expect to adore the cover of she sells sanctuary but God damn if it wasn't spectacular and where I was the crowd went wild

Really loved that gig. It’s 25 years this month since my first ever Manics gigs and this one was a bit emotional for me, that after all this time they’re still here and still amazing. Love those boys so much.

Back home with a nice cup of tea


Awesome show as always with my personal highlights being Loves Sweet Exhile and the cover of Sanctuary

Hope everyone had fun and has a safe journey home

Peace and jaffa cakes

I remember queuing some three or four hours before the 2002 FD tour date at Wembley Arena, and it was very blood cold then. Only managed the 2nd or 3rd row of the crowd that night

Just got back to Bristol after tonight's gig, number eight for me.

Loved it, so much to savour from these fellas that every gig I go to now they seem to nail. I'm the same age as them and while I'm falling apart and feeling every year of my age, they get up, put on the best shows and go off again. Loved "Sanctuary", "Tolerate", "Sapporo" and "Illusions" best of all tonight but to be fair, everything was great.

James seems genuinely thankful to the fans for sticking by them through all the COVID stuff. Never thought of it like that, to be fair, it should be me thanking them for being so flipping brilliant.

And how good were Public Service Broadcasting? Just superb.

I have to admit, I wasn't all that enthusiastic to go last night, but I'm glad I did. I've not listened to the new album all that much but the new songs sounded really great. Loves Sweet Exile was a nice surprise (I wish Wayne wouldn't sing though) and overall it was a great setlist.

It's just a shame to see so many albums completely overlooked, but I guess it's hard with a big discography. I would have happily binned of She Sells Sanctuary for an original song, for example.

They were so great. The fact they were supporting was what sold the gig to me last night and they didn't disappoint. I'll be keeping my eye out for their shows in the future as I reckon they'd be ace with access to full visuals etc.

So much time had passed since the tour started! Glad to finally get our London date but not my favourite gig of theirs. Not the best venue and played to a 3/4 full room.

Does anyone know the name of the public service broadcasting song where the visuals on the screen was the girl dancing in a car park? Really liked that one

And the back was curtained off too! Probably no bigger than one of the Cardiff gigs in the end. What a show they put on though. Loved it.

Yeah, I’d have preferred them to have played somewhere smaller but I guess it’s hard to predict how many people will be able/willing to attend at the moment.

I get the impression that the strange timing of London (and Llandudno) was down to venue availability - and that they’d prefer to do 2 nights of Brixton/Shepherds Bush etc

Yeah, Brixton would have been ideal. Much better atmosphere.

Some of the visuals worked, but the Your Love Alone one looked like one of the band had got their kids do it on a rainy Sunday when they had nothing to do!

And for the You Love Us one.... were the words You, Love and Us supposed to be popping up in time with James' singing as they seemed to be completely off timing wise!
