Newcastle gig *spoilers*

[SchitzoStu]

grinned all the way through, particularly during nita nitro and headfuck

nita nitro - was this an extra songor at the expense of something else? nobody else has mentioned it being played?

It replaced Top of the World in the main set.

But Top of the World was played in between Rooting and I wanna go for the encore.

[Velvet Presley]

That was indeed fucking awesome. I'm off to Glasgow now for tonights but when I get back (Wed probably) I'll fire up a whack of photos and a couple of videos.

More soon...

The best night out Ive ever had.

Me and the missus went to raffetys before hand and met a few of you. Thanks for saying sorry about your piles, Col! Liisa, you seem like a great person, pleasure meeting you. Talked loads with Luis and his lass (Emma?), me & Sarah had a chat with them about love, getting married & meeting on the internet (they met online like me and my lass). Got on really well with two guys from the forum whose names Ive forgot/couldnt hear (I was a little drunk & deaf in my right ear, sorry). I believe one of them is Velvet Presley. I have your number then, Ill text you when I know 100% who you are!

Inside the acadamey was fun. GU Medinice were alright. Was dreading Sign, but I ended falling in love with that band. They were great. Forgot to get their CD, Ill try online.

Then the 'Hearts came on, yeay! Stood with Velvet & 'other guy from raffetys' just at the front just between Ginger & Scott. Bumped into an old work mate I aint seen in a year & nearly shagged him during Rooting For The Bad Guy. There was some guy who kept shouldering people, got pissed when he did it to my Sarah. Didnt like Stormy In The North or Top of the World (even if it did have a 'hands-over-person-next-to-you-shoulder-and-sing moment'). Ended up getting the guitar pick CJ threw in the crowd at the end of the gig!

Best songs for me were Vanilla Radio, TV Tan & Everlone. Shame there was no Love U Til I Dont, 29x The Pain and Geordie In Wonderland. We WERE in Newcastle after all.
The smile on Gingers face when everyone cheered after he said they'd be back in December was huge. Plus I loved his naff impression of Bernard Manning.

I could go on, but I wont.

IT WAS GREAT!

Talked loads with Luis and his lass (Emma?)

I think she's called Polly, best get Luis to confirm!!

[SteveP]

I can't do any justice to my own photos, Stu's are far better, as in, he's closer to the subjects so you can actually see them, unlike mine

And I'll never make a lensman, will I Amy???? , certainly not when I'm only wielding a Finepix a202

Anyway, here's the one's I thought were fit for consumption:

Name In Lights, (not before time!!!)......


Evil Col......


The arm of Finn.......


Pissed me (again!!!!)......

[SteveP]

I always feel a bit weird when I don't know anyone, so sorry if I was too quiet

I was saying that to Col last night, been going to gigs for 17 years now, and usually on my own, now, through here, I have met a great bunch of people that'll probably be at a majority of the gigs I go to.

We were also thinking it was quite funny when we were talking about gigs and we were continually saying to each other.."I was there too"

[SteveP]

Bugger! I wish I had known. I was they elderly gent with Wildhearts t-shirt* and black hoodie.

Gregg, well, you now know the 'family', make yerself known next time mate, will be good to add another to the fold.

[Col]

Evil Col, i like it
Fuckin hell, i just got in from work, it was the shift from hell. I swear I was pissed walking there this morning.

Was a good night, met some of the usual suspects and some new ones. There's black ink all over the bedroom now, fuck knows what I got up to last night when I got home.

Hi Luis, Hi Polly, hope the twins are alright.

[SteveP]

hope the twins are alright.

You dirrrrrty old maaaaaan

!

One of Cj's picks hit me in the face! Couldn't find it despite some concentrated looking in front of the barrier. This is what happens when you drink dodgy jugs of cocktails in Gotham beforehand....

About half way through I saw some lad in a white and black t-shirt getting a bit agro and people frowning somewhat. This was about four rows from the front. Hope no-one got hurt.

[29xTheJames]

heres some of my pics:



The big burly sercuity guy pissed me off, so this is my payback.









Luis, Emma/Polly? & Sarah in Raffetys before hand. Yeay lol.

Luis, Emma/Polly? & Sarah in Raffetys before hand. Yeay lol.

Hey! Thats my arm... in the bottom right corner!

There was a bloke acting up in Nottingham too, he found his way onto the tour bus and one of the roadie's kicked him off so he threw a cigerette in his face, thought it was going to end up in a fight.

Will do Steve. Looking at the pics here, I definately saw Col in Raffertys but he was missing the horns at that point!

Sounds like you were near me, where the big fella on the barrier kept jumpin about as if there was a full on pit behind him, even tho all he was doing was pushing me onto the lasses nearby. He well annoyed me that fella. It's one thing to enjoy the gig, and if the crowd's surging then moving about like that kinda comes with the territory, but have some consideration for others around you FFS!
