Hello! Long time lurker here.

I have a spare ticket to slowdive at the garage tonight as my girlfriend is sick and my friends are lame. I bought it from Ticketweb and it is of the print at home variety, so I can email it if you would prefer to not have to meet me. I will happily take Ā£20 for it.

They were incredible last night. So glad to have finally seen them live. The new track they played during the encore (not Star Roving or Sugar for the Pill) was brilliant, which bodes well for the new LP

I think that Neil Halstead is a bit of a genius songwriter on the quiet - everything heā€™s done throughout his career/guises has been excellentā€¦

Pretty good, one of the worst audience experiences Iā€™ve had though, constant churn of old guys pushing to the front, back to the bar and to the front again

#92

this isā€¦ ahhhhā€¦ i have goosebumps. couldnā€™t have possibly expected a better return than this. damn. may canā€™t come soon enough.

Had a similar thing at Teenage Fanclub. Old blokes who think theyā€™ve a divine right to be at the front for the well-known older songs because they were there the first time round but then go and drink and talk through anything that came out beyond the first couple of albums.

Not as bad as the kids that go to the front and make no reaction to the older songs but go mental for the new stuff

*older bands in general

#96

how dare old people go to gigs!

bit weird they described the London show as their first in the capital for twenty years
what about the Hoxton bar & grill show for conic catherdralā€™s birthday?

I think they probably mean

constant churn of people pushing to the front, back to the bar and to the front again.

I did specify old guys because that was who was doing it, not generalising about old guys at gigs in general

#100

only joshing ya. I am an old guy but am always a polite gig goer. I also hate people who think they have a god given right to barge their way down the front. Suppose it does depend on how busy the venue is though and I imagine last night it was absolutely rammedā€¦

Or indeed the Village Underground show the following day.

Or the two Forum shows they played later in the same yearā€¦
