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.
I think I would have cried with happiness if they'd have played 'Condemned...'

Last night was absolutely incredible. So glad i managed to get tickets for last night and tonight. THB set was amazing, James was on form and managed to reach the high notes.

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.
A. What are the other gigs in the top 3?
B. I hope the touts found themselves on long bus rides home and all developed sudden and aggressive shits.

I would say it's a tough call between Marwood and Shug as to who looked hottest in a sailor top.

Also, it might just have been where in was standing, but this gig to me was the loudest so far. The drums in THB we're immense.

I've never felt the machine gun like drumming at the end (in fact, I don't think it even occurred to me that it could be machine gun like drumming) like I felt it last night. It was like a barrage of fire on a captive audience.

Good question, National Treasures at the 02 was great and Port Talbot Leisure Centre 1997 (or maybe it was 1998) was insane, I remember the crowd singing Bread of Heaven, almost got crushed to death and missed my train home, which bizarrely was a lot of fun. Cardiff Arena 1997 with SFA and Catatonia supporting was amazing too.

I concur about the touts.

Easily the best gig I've ever been to. Have to admit, I wasn't expecting to see so many people my age there ! I hope this tour has introduced the band to a new generation of fans as well Does anyone know if they plan on releasing a live dvd based around this tour ?

my one solitary photo from the 16th as it was too much of a pain to aim the camera between heads and shoulders. I tried to get one with James in the shot but nah

Thanks!

It's a canon power shot sx220 hs. It's a few years old now, but chosen specifically because it's meant to be good in low light. Max the ISO and set to underexpose by 1 stop.
