Kind of like Live at Pompeii, but nowhere near as good?

I'd say it's a better venue than Pompeii. Less iconic for Pink Floyd especially for sure but as a venue I'd say it's much better because as you can see in a picture SweetJesus posted it looks even more stunning

Did I lose my train of thought regarding AM finishing their run next year at Glasto? Word on the street* is they're playing BBK Live in Spain early July so I'd expect the stadium gigs from mid-May throughout June, Glasto and BBK/Nos Alive plus other fests they'll be doing around that.

*LastTour, the promoters behind BBK, have been trying to catch them for years and they just put up two new festivals out of the blue with AM headlining this September so most likely scenario is they didn't offered 2 gigs but 2+1 next summer.

Never mind , I see what you mean now 

Besides, they did Primavera and Mad Cool last time and they've played Benicassim a few times -not that they'd go with the new direction tho- so BBK is the only one left. Now they suddenly announce two new festivals in Malaga and Portugal in early September to allocate this tour but won't lock a third date for their main festival? Would be strange, but who knows.

The biggest mystery ever is why they NEVER play That's Where You're Wrong. Absolutely criminal.

Shit me I timed that one well! Summoned! First time live tonight since 2013, and only the 31st time they've ever played it!

Seriously hope that starts to feature a lot this tour. Fucking incredible tune. Only a couple if chords but it has such depth.

I reckon I already saw the best setlist 11 years ago (with album uno Vaccines supporting which was cracking). I'd probably swap out Brick By Brick for R U Mine nowadays, DSDCIMYC is the perfect opener if they insist on playing it, Evil Twin should have been on AM (I was so excited about AM after Evil Twin, You And I and R U Mine).

Saw this tour in Nov 2011 in Birmingham. Me and the 8 or so I was with regularly list this as our favourite ever gig. I'd graduated that same day. Their energy and set list were superb. Probably the tightest I've ever heard them, too. Incredible.

Good choices but I'd have to have perhaps vampires and secret door in there somewhere.

How was it overall?

It was not bad but in my opinion the sound was a bit meh. Not their best, not their worst. Decent setlist though (I'd still remove couple of AM songs). I hope if they headline Glasto they play Four out of Five, it's such a banger live.

This was epic:

Secret Door is in my top 5 all time tunes of theirs. I'd perhaps take out Knee Socks, only because the two times I've heard it live, it doesn't do it justice. Such a phenomenal track but they don't seem to capture it. Hopefully I was just unlucky. Finsbury Park sound quality was dog shit in fairness.

Would kill for That's Where You're Wrong or Black Treacle from SIAS but it's never gonna happen unfortunately, bit of a forgotten album despite being amazing.

Days after I say this they play That’s where you’re wrong for the first time in 9 years lol. Would kill to hear it

Ooo I saw that tour in London. If I'm honest I mainly went as I couldn't get tickets to The Vaccines own shows but randomly got a side-stage one for them with AM at London O2 (and tbf on album 1, that slot was probably the same length as their own headline shows).

That show was pretty fucking awesome, and as a first time seeing Arctic Monkeys, I don't think I'm yet to top it, even with Do I Wanna Know and R U Mine, both of which are brilliant songs. Even if Mad Cool 2018 was good fun.

Dream set always changes for me tbf. Atm, maybe something like this...

  1. The View from the Afternoon
  2. Brianstorm
  3. Teddy Picker
  4. Crying Lightning
  5. Don't Sit Down...
  6. Arabella
  7. Dance Little Liar
  8. Pretty Visitors
  9. This House is a Circus
  10. If You Were There Beware
  11. Evil Twin
  12. R U Mine?
  13. I Bet You Look Good...
  14. Dangerous Animals
  15. Fireside
  16. The Ultracheese
  17. Suck it and See
  18. Do I Wanna Know?
  19. Four Out of Five
  20. 505
  21. Mardy Bum (encore)
  22. When the Sun Goes Down (encore)
  23. A Certain Romance (encore)

Even then I can throw in others. The Knee Socks > My Propeller sequence in 2014 was pretty cool, for one.

Though the fact I could whack in a load of Humbug also hints I regret not trying to force through a trip to their Humbug Tour in 2009.

May be putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5, and I haven't been on for a few days so apologies if it's been mentioned:

I posted a while back saying I've been told off a few people that this upcoming record will be the last one for AM. The people who've told me are well connected enough to know, when it comes to the band (I take no joy in this, they're one of my favourite bands).

During I Wanna Be Yours the other night Alex said "it kind of feels like the end of something". Maybe unrelated, but seems very random.

I'm gonna hammer their gigs next year, on the assumption that this is true.
