1000 more fools!!!!!!!!

been my favourite band since I really discovered them (sadly only about 3 years ago but have heard a couple early tracks and been into NOFX etc since 1990), I now recognise BR to be the kings of punk rock and are EASILY my favourite band. - 1st time seeing them live and I was stunned the whole time. Greg is fricken amazing... what an amazing life he has lead and is living. Absolutely spectacular show, my life is now complete. Thank you. Will watch them at every opportunity I get. Don't even care what songs they play, they are all amazing. Please write more books on life philosophy!

I thought the show wasn't quite as good as Manchester last year. I put that down to Wrong Way Kids, Cyanide, The Devil In Stitches, and Infected taking up valuable setlist space (yeah, why skip Only Rain?). But the energy from the crowd was great, it felt great to be bouncing up and down up at the front, and it was my first time seeing 1000MF live -- amazing. Last time I was as sweaty was . . . the last time I saw BR.

[quote=dunc]Awesome show....not as good as Shepherds Bush last year ,the vocal mikx in the PA was poor ......but 1000mf and acoustic generator fucking briliant[/quote]See, I thought it was better than Shep's Bush last year. But my favourite concert was still the first one I saw in London, five or six years ago.

[quote=Guests]Only complaint, I wish they would play Only Rain! It's the best tune they have done in ages and far the best on the new album.[/quote]Yes! Best song on the new album, would've loved to have seen that live. Wouldn't have minded them opening with The Day The Earth Stalled, either.

I'm alwas up for some details...[/quote]

The crowd and the band were just up for it from the very start. I was at the back and everyone was still dancing and singing along to every word. There was just a vibe. The pacing of the tunes just kept people going and even though it is one of the longest sets I have seen them do, I still wanted more.

I looked at the previous set lists and so for me I was surprised and chuffed by the addition of The Defense, 1000 more fools and Come join us.

Only complaint, I wish they would play Only Rain! It's the best tune they have done in ages and far the best on the new album.

12-14 would have been especially dangerous for bystanders ;)

of the 24 song set, songs 6-20 sandwiched in between a couple of standards is a nice set in itself. Varied, covering all eras, mixed up tempos. Not a bad stretch there, my Anglophile friends.

And Generator was the slow version.

The crowd was pretty crazy, load of people crowd surfing & a couple got up on stage (one immediately dived back into the crowd, the other danced around, and Greg shook his hand saying "congratulations, you have won 'The Price is Right!' and he got down).
100 More Fools & The Defense was awesome, and was nice to hear some of their new songs which I've not seen live before.

1000 more fools was great to see live but as has been said before it is a standard, safe BR set.

Band members have stated that they would prefer a different and more varied mix of songs on tour but Greg gets to call the shots as he is the one singing and needs to ensure his voice will last the tour.

[quote=modern man]I just cant get excited about that setlist. they're playing a lot of songs I dont really care for like cyanide, LA, infected, Devil in....too many poppy slow songs to keep the kids happy lol, when I last saw them last year the set was way better, wanna hear suffer, modern man, TGR, only gonna die etc...cant realy be bothered to commute to wolverhampton on my tod wednesday but we'll see, thing is the set will be pretty much if not completely the same which sucks, cuz you know exactly whats gonna be played and the order....and the AJ infected sorrow ending...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol[/quote]They played 1000 More Fools ......That alone should be worth making the trek .

[quote=modern man]zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz[/quote]My thoughts exactly.

I personally hope they play this setlist song for song in Wolverhampton - Dearly Beloved and Come Join Us? Fuck yes.

[quote=modern man]I just cant get excited about that setlist. (...) cant realy be bothered to commute to wolverhampton. (...) thing is the set will be pretty much if not completely the same which sucks (...)...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol[/quote]Look, I'm with you on wanting to see a somewhat different set (who doesn't?). But to be honest, your complaining is starting to sound repetitive as well. My advise to you is to go see Transformers 3 at the movies instead.

[quote=Jay Bentley on Twitter]have to say it. last nights show at the forum in london may well have been one of our best shows... ever. up there with the 3 era NY shows[/quote]From [url=http://twitter.com/#!/jay_bentley/status/90552845287428096]Twitter[/url].

They're playing with the computers on this night and the one in wolverhampton, apparently. Should be good!
