Still only 2 videos of the gig, shame was amazing

[mannicool123]

Btw, i was waiting for someone to shout TeVo on the outdoor type :) hats off to who ever it was.

[mannicool123]

They have always skipped the odd song on the setlist, tho it was crushing not to hear hannah and gabi. Ye i was so suprised on rudderless no way did i expect it to end there. Unlucky to who ever the second stage diver was though you did make a plesant face crushing sound as you hit the floor.

[vinniebrock]

haha , i gave him a push onto the stage , maybe pushed a bit hard.

[vinniebrock]

yeh we were stood at the front , seemed to be getting going when they did rudderless , then they left ?? your right about not knowing what they were playing , the set list was there , but evan kept skipping songs . last time they were in manchester , they were great .

[andyhounddog]

I also have listed a song from the last tour from Manchester (which was great) and Liverpool (which was probably the best Lemonheads gig I've ever seen except for maybe @ The Academy on the It's A Shame.. Tour!)

[DoctorPacman1]

KraftyJoe's right though - I saw Dando solo at the Hop and Grape about nine years ago supported by Ben Kweller and he was fucking awesome that night.

[DoctorPacman1]

I thought they were shite, personally. No chemistry onstage, the band didn't look like the knew what they were sposed to be playing half the time and a big charisma black hole where Evan Dando used to be. Pitifully short set as well, I saw loads of pissed off faces at the end. Proper shame cos they've been amazing the other times I've seen them over the years.

[vinniebrock]

hi manni , you were the one who the the support act nearly fell on a couple of times lol , not had chance to put my vid on yet . im the one with the bag lol

[mannicool123]

Lol hey man, ye i was bracing myself

[mannicool123]

Was an amazing gig. You were the guy at the front with the bag/camera? sure i was 2 to the left, checkered shirt and long hair :) hope you post it man

[vinniebrock]

was a great show , but they skipped loads off the setlist ,

and only played for an hour .

[andyhounddog]

Even though I was right at the front I deliberatley didn't look at the set list, but then regretted it when it quickly got removed at the end - anyone able to list what they missed off?

[vinniebrock]

some on the list not played were , alison, can't take it anymore,and worse of all ray !!!!

[andyhounddog]

I did notice (as it was a bit unusual) the roadie pick up the set list they shared and put it back in Evan's guitar case - so maybe it was a "from" list thya are using at all the gigs - as opposed to an actual set list for Manchester? Just a theory.

That will be great if you can. I thought Ride With Me was the best performance last night. Just a shame he didn't do Thirteen. He needs to get himself booked into Bridgewater Hall and do an Acoustic gig. That would be amazing.

[kraftyjoe81]

Amazing video mate. Was there tonight. Great gig, but Evan's solo stole the show.

[andyhounddog]

Cheers mate. Watching them live is always an absolute joy and this was no exception!!! I also recorded all of "Ride With Me" which I will try to post tonight! :-)
