Awesome gig!

One of the best peformances that I've seen from the band and the crowd reaction and atmosphere was top-notch. Wicked venue too.

Good to have met you Trudi, Jason and Isla :D

Hello peeps,
Home and knackered. Oxford & London were both packed and both excellent. Hi to everyone I saw/waved at/babbled at :)

Quick idea of what Koko was like (from balcony, around mid-set)

Top gig, thought the performance was wicked. Good to see the place packed out!

Great to meet some rocking listees as well - between the purple turtle being shut and the hope and achor providing a heady mix of racism, the threat of physical violence and some policemen, i thought it was jolly good to see people in the crescent!!! :lol:

at work now, doh! talk about back down to earth with a bump!

Great pics of a great gig!
My neck is killing me today. Big wave to everyone Sam and me met, good fun was had.
Loved the gig, thought the venue looked ace (and i got my drinking in early so i didn't have to shell out in there), and the boys were on absolute top form.
One gripe would be the people flinging beer at me and the people round me all gig :roll: . If you want to buy me a pint at least warn me so I can catch it!
Cheers to the band and the crowd for a great night out.

ps. Kazza, did you get home alright? you were spark out on the train at Leyton.

I was up on the balcony and saw that going on. Totally unnecessary. The drinks are expensive enough in there without throwing them away.

what a brilliant gig ! the band were tight focussed and loud, scott looked like he had always been a wildheart singing along to everything and hyping the already hyped crowd up.
set list was unchanged ( i think). the revolution was brilliant and rooting just feels like it has been in the set for years.
there was hardly any pausing between songs and they did not sstay long but the band looked happy throughout.

and the crowd were well up for it! top night - bring on milton keynes :D :D :D

Heh, we were just about to walk in when we saw that scene. Just as well really, the burgers in the pub across the road were ace!

Bar stool? ashtray? you're just making it sound more exciting now. :wink:

How about we all go and get food then watch through the window from a safe distance? :D
