To let you know, for me it was one of the best concerts I have been to in my life and that is even though it was at the 02!  Just annoyed I wasn't standing.

I think a greatest hits set could and surely would look different to this one.  Stagger Lee, Do You Love Me, There She Goes My Beautiful World, Higgs Boson Blues, Where The Wild Roses Grow.  I don't know if he ever plays fifteen feet of pure white snow (have seen him around 10 times since 2013 and haven't heard it) but I really like it.  As noted above, the set could benefit from a wee jolt of something in the second half.  (I also really like songs like Jesus Alone and Frogs but accept they might not be "greatest hits".)

 

Regardless, every album since PTSA (which put him in a Pyramid headline "conversation") pushes further away the prospect of a Pyramid headline slot, imo.  Putting him on Other vs something pop seems obvious/sensible.

 

ps I don't think the lyrics appearing on the screen works.  I saw Manics and Suede in Leeds millennium square in July and got unintentional giggles at the Manics' sloganeering appearing on the slightly too small screen on the slightly too quiet stage/PA, in broad daylight.  Felt briefly like I was in a Louis Theroux subculture documentary. 

It's maddening to me that he hasn't rolled There She Goes out on this tour considering he has a four piece collective of vocalists behind him.

Yeah, that remains baffling to me.

Almost a week since the Cardiff gig and I think it'll be my last time buying tickets to his own show unless he releases an album I truly love. Feel quite a lot like the magic isn't there this time.

 

Obviously hard when you're comparing an 8/10 gig to multiple 10/10s but happy with that decision.

Heading to the Brum show on Friday, don't suppose anybody remembers prices on T Shirts?

He's somebody who could have brilliant merch, but always manages to epically fail. 
The red tour shirt is the best of a bad lot IMO.

Went to see them in Dublin last night. Bloody fantastic! Highlights among the new tracks included Conversion (Nick is much clearer in the mix live and it was powerful), Final rescue attempt, Joy and Cinnamon Horses…but as usual, a completely engrossing performance (the new album works so well live and I thought the entire show was really well paced, so I can see why they aren’t tampering with it). Nick was in very chatty form (he has been the last few times to be honest, but this is probably the most “jovial” he’s been. He laughed a lot). Colin Greenwood has slotted in like a natural, Ellis a force of nature as usual and the backing singers superb. Anyone on the fence about going to see them on this tour, just do it, you won’t regret it!
