Anyone for a half-time beer at the Salford gig?
Tonic water no gin. Provided I have recovered from my Man Flu. |

Having been at the Barbican, I can concur with all the accolades - a fantastic evening, many highlights - but I shall certainly remember the exciting version of 'Friday on my mind' for a long time - a superb rendition of a song I'd half forgotten!

There's a good write-up of the Barbican show in today's Guardian. As it says, if anyone could pull off this kind of show, it's RT.  |

The Lowrey: My, I enjoyed that!
I think the set list was the same as Chris posted for The Barbican. Near to full house.
Sorry I missed you Sir Martin: I partook of caffeine and nicotine before visiting the merch area.

I managed to miss Colin as well - I remembered to take his phone number - but forgot my phone....
A great gig, although the first half has too many slow songs IMO. I get the impression they enjoy playing the rock and roll stuff the most.
RT was more voluable then usual, which was good because I enjoy his little jokes.
Note that 'Maneater' included a verse in Latin....

Excellent gig last night. One change in the set list was the inclusion of So Ben Mi Ca Bon Tempo. My favourites are still Trafalgar Square and Friday on My Mind but False Knight and See My Friends were other highlights. One punter shouted out for Vincent but maybe he was a Don McLean fan.  Sorry not to have made contact with any of you other good people. We were in the back row of the upper circle so by the time we'd queued for the loos and got an ice cream it was almost time to make our way back upstairs. No complaints about the sound at the Lowry but we had to settle for sandwiches from the coffee bar as the terrace bar had stopped serving food at 6:30 which was a bit rubbish. The words piss-up and brewery spring to mind. |

Really enjoyed the gig last night, though Mr Thompson dashed my hopes of a prog-rock section for the '70s and plumped for ABBA instead. Loved the shout from the crowd of "Play something from the future" - Inspired!  |

Thank gawd! I don't remember the 90s as being any worse than the 80s or the 00s. Maybe you were listening in the wrong places! Jules |

Loved the shout from the crowd of "Play something from the future" - Inspired! Someone shouted that last night too at High Wycombe - a plant in the audience perhaps? or had someone been reading this and decided to have a go too?!! Great gig by the way - loved the ladies accompanying too! |

nowt froim the 90's was worth remembering Oh Jim, that stings! For the 90s were the years of my coming of age, the years when you think that you're discovering MUSIC write large, as nobody ever has done before. I wasn't a muso, it always makes me feel like a fraud to ape that role, but the Summer of Britpop (1995 - just after me and The Manc became acquainted) was my Summer of Love, and the soundtrack to it is associated in my mind with the incomparable sweetness of those months. |

actually i regret that post more than most from the 90's i liked , in no particular order and ill probably forget loads james, oasis, the charlatans, the mondays, the inspiral carpets(can you spot a trend here ) and i realise that most of these started in the 80's actually i spent moast of the 90's rediscovering bands like little feat and artists like Neil Young because i couldnt find an awful lot of new stuff to groove along with or rock out to |

Aye, the baggy trend was great, wasn't it? As for James, the '90s were for me bookended by "Born of Frustration" - in 1990 played by my sister on a substandard ghetto-blaster and in 1999 whooped by me ("whoowhoowhoowhoowhoo-oo-hoooo!) while freewheeling down the hill to where I worked at the time. i had subsequent crushes on Tim Burgess out of the Charlatans and Tim Booth out of James, and had a bike called Timmy for some time named in honour of these two gentlemen . He was a good ride. Fnaar fnaar. - Oh, God, I'm supposed to be talking about music and I'm talking about a) sentimental value and b) sexual attractiveness. Arguably not a mindset which is ideal for judging musicality... Thanks for giving me an excuse for some shameless nostalgia!
Love, Smiths

I suppose I should partially retract my comment as well ... after all, Show of Hands did have their major breakthrough in the 90s. As did LJE!  |

The truth is there was a lot of good music in the 90's you just may not have liked it which is another subject all together.
To get back on topic from the times I've seen the 1000 yrs show it at times looks like RT enjoys taking a back seat and letting Judith Owen take the limelight.
It is also the format I have enjoyed most of his recent shows as the sense of unpredictability is well and truly in place.
