Does anybody know the last time Golden Boy got played? If it's more than six months I'm totally shouting for it all night.

Let's not be jackasses.

My threat was meant in good humo(u)r, sorry. F'reals though, anyone know when Golden Boy was last played?

(Side note: Wild Creature, you might be interested in this.)

Never forget Mr Tame Creature that the British fans are best and the American fans are empty egg shells.Take this thought home with you and also shout for NEON ORANGE GLIMMER SONG.

i was speaking in humor too. all love. can't say when GB was played last, though i did get to see it at Swedish American, that was a couple of years ago and I believe it's been played once or twice since then.

and my final note of the night is that it was friggin great to meet maffj -- a really great show made better by the company, including not only maffj but bad ass Status F who staged dive onto the stage during encore break to snag the set list. Status F you will always have a place to stay in SF.

Manchester Show: I envy your two solo sets, and your Ellas and Maffs.

In other crowd generalisation news, I was trying to take a sly picture of the early queue outside Koko on Wednesday to demonstrate that around 90% of those waiting were reading books. You know, those books they used to have, back before those smartie phones?

One of my favorite tMG photos, from a mind-spattering instore in Brooklyn four years ago: [www.flickr.com]

Wow!

Tonight was pretty special. I can't think of many places better than Manchester to watch bands. They all seem to appreciate it's past (and present) music scene and tonight was no exception. Brilliant show and a brilliant crowd!

It was more of a flop and carpet-burn-inducing slither, but I'll certainly take a bad ass tag gracefully...Also: great to see the rad maff again after probably standing right in front of him in Leeds last year...

Zach - that was Wednesday's setlist, spread yr envy.

And this, over, and over. Judging from the audience I got to be apart of last night, and for Andrew Jackson Jihad at the Night and Day the night before, if I was in a band I would want to play Manchester every single night. San Bernadino.

That is a large number of devotional love songs.

Not that I would be complaining...

EDIT -- PS -- Golden Boy was last played in Pittsburgh six weeks ago, I believe.

John was sick last night so he was seemingly trying to play songs that didn't kill him to sing. The crowd sang most of No Children.

I thought last night was brilliant. Manchester audiences are generally better than Leeds audiences from my experience (discounting The National last year!)

i think he misses his wife.

anywoo, here is there is no divorce. i'll post the rest of the solo set videos later, which turned out much better than i thought, as all i did was plant the camera on the stage, try to hide it in a sweater (that I think was Status F's) and hope JD didn't see it any kick it off the stage. he did not (other than almost during San Bernardino when he was singing w/o the microphone).

Yes to all of the above. Great show, best tMG support act yet, amazing solo set, great crowd, great to meet up with WC & SF (thanks for the use of the poster tube!), ROCKING See America Right (setlist query: I thought that came after Song For Dennis Brown?)... So many good things in one show!

BUT - they'd run out of XL t-shirts by the time I got to the merch stand so having decided against wearing last year's XL octopus tee as it was a bit snug, and plumping for my Teenage Fanclub one (THERE's a band that understands the expanding waistlines of its middle aged audience), I now have an even snugger L tee. That Wii Fit is going to have to earn its keep...

BTW, my friend Eifion, who knows about these sort of thing, took some NICE PICS I thought you'd like to see.

status, he played pigs triumph in there didn't he? with the story of the truck and the pigs.

Pigs Who Ran Straightaway Into The Water

Best show of the tour so far and best tMG show I've seen so far - outstanding work from band and crowd.

Stray observations:

1) Please get well before tonight, JD.

2) "I'm doing it."

3) "I'm not ignoring you, I just can't understand you."

4) Was PPH's bass sound on Love Love Love a direct tribute to Peter Hook?

Yeah, wasn't Pigs the last song? TBH it's something of a blur. Nice video by the way - you really can see RIGHT UP HIS NOSE.

"You know it is, it really is."

maffj, those are nice pics. give my compliments to eifion, it was good to meet him.
