Great gig, Soo glad to hear 1979, one onf my favourite songs ever. Though would have liked to hear them do Cherub Rock and 7 Shades Of Black, in all though, a pretty good gig, and this song just topped it off.

[Crimson757575]

definately!!! big highlight of the nite :)

[BarnetDan]

NME website is claiming that they finished with Cherub Rock. I was there til the lights came up and thought they finished with the Echo & the Bunnymen cover

[Crimson757575]

n dey did coz even sercuity said itz over, itz an error i guess...it says on their offical website too that they played cherub rock, but dey didnt really obviously

[Kerrigan2312]

Yeah, it's "Call the Shots"

HAha. =]

Yeah, Cherub rock would've topped it all off.

Shame they didn't play anything from Gish =/ Except Daydream.

[Crimson757575]

true that, Siva or Rhinoceros would had done it for me from the Gish album, or even Crush :P but it was a great show never the less :)

@BarnetDan

Yeah I was there too, had a fantastic night and the band were well on form. NME totally slated the gig, yet more evidence they couldn't be bothered to turn up and still write rubbish... oh well, at least they were found out :D

[chivo1995]

whats the first song?

[tigermoth111]

was good to hear a 20000 sold out croud singing this , weird the night before at the men arena it wasnt sold out and and a smaller arena , the crowd were a little boring too , but this show was great

[nailszwan75]

Agreed i travelled all the way to London, stayed in a scabby hotel in a dodgy town but fuck me it was well worth it. Corgan legend

[nlmoore82]

They've started playing that Girls Aloud song he starts with on this video at the gym. Always reminds me of this gig!!

[littlemegayak]

not dat big it was only half full and to goivechump they didn't do disarm either which was disapointing

[perpitbla5]

I wrote it elsewhere but I'll put it here too: Good to see good reviews of this gig. Read too many people slagging it off but it was amazing.
