Well that gig was a bit of a love-in. Completely different atmosphere to the northern gigs. The Holy Bible is starting to feel almost euphoric now, you can see they've relaxed into it.

Also, I happened to be in a particularly lovely bit of crowd, right in front of Nicky. Big ups to the photographer who was clearly a massive fan and struggled to tear himself away from dancing to even take photos!

Also, did we all subliminally agree tonight would be sailor suit night?! London definitely wins the outfit wars.

If Nicky smashes everything up tomorrow when I'm stuck on Brick Lane at my work's do, I will be most upset... but tonight was ace.

So much better than monday, James was on form tonight, he twiddled and extended solos

. Just enjoy a gig so much more when James isn't in pain.

I couldn't tell if he had his vocal chords paralysed to fix the problem, or that was the problem

.

and no James was having none of the smash up your instruments idea. lol.

That was incredible. So much better than last night, and last night was pretty great. Got a setlist and my mate got Sean's drumstick. The crowd was pretty lively and the band just seemed so much happier tonight. Wire was constantly doing his usual roaming round the stage and James sounded a lot better. Loved it when James said "come on, we just played the holy bible. Like played intense humming of evil. Get the message" after he heard me shout for condemned to rock n roll. Awesome night.

That was fucking incredible. Big step up from last night. So good to see James back on form. Nicky looked to be in terrific spirits. I think I may have been going batshit insane to some tracks tonight. Eek.

James cracked a huge smile when he saw my white sailor top. He may have laughed.

Georgia Ruth was flippin' lovely! She kept making eye contact and also kept smiling/laughing.

I think, basically, that I either looked insanely hot or insanely stupid as a sailor. I'm guessing the latter.

Hm.

Anthem was nice, though it's my least favourite track on what is otherwise my second-favourite album. Dickhead behind me talked all the way through it though. And then through Motorcycle, Dreaming A City, You Stole The Sun, and my goddam beloved 1985. Prick.

Really good. Good to see Georgia Ruth on Divine Youth. 1st and 2nd set were best of the three gigs I've seen.

hummingbird · #97 17-12-2014, 00:24

did i hear right that yesterday James had paralysed vocal chords?

So good tonight. I was worried i'd end up in a shit spot cos i was going with a friend.. (being sociable is such a bore

) but it was fine, ended up 3rd/4th row for the first set and 2nd row for the second. Who needs queuing eh?

That was my 37th gig and definitely in my top 3. I've waited so long to hear Mausoleum live, I wasn't disappointed. The 1st half was the first time in so long I've heard them without keyboards or a backing guitarist, totally different sound, reminded me just how talented JDB is. Loved the second set too.

Think the touts over stretched themselves with tickets, I had a spare and couldn't give it away. They were selling them for £10 at the tube station, shame because they sold out so quickly I bet there were so many real fans who missed out. I hope the touts made a loss.
