Una said:@Stuart_P thanks re; the photos. They would have been better if I weren't so scared of Alison :PHow did you get on standing at the sound desk? Was it a much different experience to the previous night at the front?
well it was perfect for watching will at the mixing desk! he was there from lights down until laurel and then i guess he had to get himself presentable for the stage. during alisons intro of simone, i exchanged a wry smile with will acknowledging the comedy moment from the night before :) so for those experiences i made the right move! but.....the non hardcore around me were too fidgety for my liking during the first half. not talking as such just what-is-this-new-song-fidgeting. i failed to bag a setlist from the desk 'it got notes on it we need' said mixer boy......booooya! oh and it was great spot to watch drummer seb gurn away too :D
from an audio point of view, very little difference between the two spots for me.
but if i had the choice again? i much preferred being in at the front mosh pit with you guys :-\" -
I love how you remember that Will was there until 'Laurel' I got a fricken setlist & I couldn't tell you what was what or when it was!!'what-is-this-new-song-fidgeting' ha! Love it! I am so glad I wasn't around that kind of fidgety Mcfidgeting. It would drive me crazy. As I said elsewhere the chatter in the balconies on the second night was making my blood boil.I too had a little moment with Will (no really, it happened!!) I could see him very clearly when he was on stage and I gave him a big ol' smile at one stage & he gave one right back. I love him!It was lovely to meet you @Stuart_P, hope to see you at a gig again soon & stick with the die hards up the front :)

I did last until 2.30am on Thursday at the Mitre, after spending half the day putting up fences I didn't do too bad for a 50 year old. :P What a lovely crowd of people to share memories with, i'd definately have the lot of you on my desert island. Glad i saved those youtube vids now, i can watch Clay over and over and the other songs ticked all my boxes.www.themummers.co.uk

Loving that window action, Jude - they really set the venue pics off nicely. Great stuff.A million fires before your harvest comes. To burn out.

i just can't believe it's a week ago already :O
Not a direct reply, more a comment on the passing of time, I'm setting weekly reminders on Google calendar until the albums released, just as little "squee" moments , like finding a fiver in your pocket. I'm not at all impatient for September, it's the anticipation I'm enjoying, as someone observed about Manchester that they were semi not looking forward to it as once it was there, it'd be done."Read my posts and see why we`re not allowed nice things anymore"
