Dave: Manics we’re alright last night, bit at with the Tuesday night crowd and felt like the band were going through the motions a bit for most of the set. Big hits were all good and enjoyed the version of sweet child . A solid 7 out of ten.
Scott: Was Nicky being weird as usual?
Dave: Oh aye, he’s a strange one that lad.
Scott: They have morphed into total dad rock band now and I did notice from their set lists they are playing a LOT of stuff from This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours
Scott: Very plodding.
Scott: I think James just looks odd trying to sing the glam rock stuff now, he looks like an estate agent…
Scott: Or an IT auditor.
Dave: So flat in parts , at least 4 songs where the crowd just had a chat through.
Dave: The big ones were still good though and they can still play.
Scott: Probably didn’t miss much: Verse about Orwell Pre chorus about consumerism Chorus about working class Wales Another verse about Orwell End song
Dave: 😂 aye, I had pretty much the same outfit on as the rockstar on stage.
John: Must admit I have not had much exposure to the Manics since the late 1990s - have I missed much?
Scott: playlist
Scott: Although I admit, not much great stuff post millennium!
