Due to circumstances this was our first M.A gig of the year, and it reminded us why we fell in love with this band in the first place... moving songs with genuine emotion, played superbly and with real passion. Also it was nice to say a quick hello to Roger and DT. Real gents. Picked up a copy of Live 2009, and will be playing it later today, with a good wine, and the lights dimmed. It was well worth the 3 hour trip from Preston, on the M6 carpark! Roll on York!

Didn't fancy hanging around in Wolvervampton for hours before. Was is really that late starting ? Dave

I am in full agreement with everything that has been posted in the forum for this latest tour, it truly was once of the best performances I have seen them do and I have been going to the Robin to see them play since 2003. The set list gave a great balance between old a new and individually and collectively all were on top form. I have to give a special mention to Mother Nature which was absolutely awesome. I agree with Darrell, when will the world wake up and take notice? unfortunately it is not a question I can answer and it is a crying shame. I envy those who are able to go to York they are in for one hell of a treat believe me. Still I have Josh & Co to look forward to on the 13th December and I can not wait. Finally, my thanks go to my daughter Rebecca who paid for the ticket and the live CD, it was the best Christmas present a father could ever wish for. Andrew

Dave In fact the band didn't come on stage until 9.05, and with the now customary 2 and a half hour plus set, and the break, it was about 11.50 when the show finished. It was a shame you couldn't have stayed, Dave, because it was an absolutely superb show. That may have been the shortest two and three quarter hours ever, the time just flew by. I could probably have happily listened to the band for at least another hour. Somehow, perhaps because they've revamped the set somewhat, the band have an energy that was, to a certain extent, missing in the shows they played earlier this year. Burnley was good, but Bilston was possibly the best Mostly show I've seen since the 'Storms...' shows in 2005.

More seriously though, as a veteran of a ridiculous number of MA gigs I would put this gig in my top 5 MA gigs ever, certainly in terms of performance. They were as tight as an unmentionable part of a gnat's body and the sound that Dave Pickering pulled together was immense - powerful and yet wonderfully clear.

Yet another majestic performance from a truly great band. Going to gigs just doesn't get much better than this. Last Edited By: clustertwo 10-11-09 10:29. Edited 2 times.

In between enjoying the great music and atmosphere, I managed to take a few photos, although I - quite literally - suffered for my art a few days later, with a really sore shoulder from holding the camera for far longer than I've been used to recently. Anyway, it was worth it - or, at least, I think so Take a look for yourself at: http://www.digitalsensor.co.uk - just navigate via the "Concert Photography" link. Hope that you like 'em! Here's to the next gig - Crewe! Cheers, Eddie.

I've just checked and if I'd gone that would've been my 16th MA gig too! Instead it'll be Crewe on the 12th... The first one was in 2002 or 03 I think. I hope they play Shrinking Violet at Crewe! Apart from Pocket Watch, which is the only song MA currently play that I don't like. Does it sound like an average Oasis song to anyone else? Last Edited By: Hole In My Head 14-12-09 4:39.

Now am I listening to the same Pocket Watch as everyone else?

Last time I saw the band they didn't play either song... -- Tim Weblog, http://www.kalyr.com/weblog "Never again will I try to celebrate something I love by belittling the things that other people love" - Will Byers on the Guardian Music Blog
