any chance of any other 'earth vs' dates.... how's about Scotland in October? I'm out of the country in late September.

that is so tempting!! How much are flights to Japan..

Between 500 and 700 quid return

The concert was so awesome! It was probably the best show I've seen in the past 3 years and I've seen quite a bit.

They started with the Earth Vs The Wildhearts album, followed by a second set of B-sides, ending with 29x the Pain and had a 3-song encore, with I Wanna Go Where The People Go being the last song.

Anybody attended the show? I need a copy of the setlist! Help!

Thanks in advance.

How many songs were in the second set?

I didn't count! I was enjoying myself too much. But it was a lot, maybe 10?

Ah, in that case, you got all the B-sides plus Caffeine Bomb, so apart from the extra encore (lucky buggers ), I'm guessing you got (and most probably in this order, er, unless Ginger forgot. Again...):-

Can you remember the other two encores?

Sick Of Drugs

And a song from The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed, I don't know what that is. Haven't picked up that album

The B-sides look about right... but the order was slightly different.

The concert was so awesome, my goodness. I was totally blown away!

SOD first?

I'm gonna make an educated guess and suggest it might have been The Revolution Will Be Televised?

Nope that ain't it. It was a song from "The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed". Ginger said it but I don't think he mentioned the title. Or maybe he did and I didn't catch it.

Oops, totally haven't got my read-understand-think-then-post head on at the moment, that's not even on the same album.

Do you know any of the Must Be Destroyed era songs? Like Vanilla Radio?



Yes, I got it wrong. I'm self-flagellating as we speak...

...And enjoying every second of it.
