Heard some great things about the gig last night. Best of luck tonight!
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Great gig!!! They nailed it. Put those 4 together and they are just quality.
Take a bow Reni!! What a performance. John Squire was great as well, particularly on Fools Gold. Outstanding.
Mani - didn't put a foot wrong. A top man.
Ian - played a blinder. Vocals were great and was a true front man.
Roll on Thursday!!!

Heading to Roses gig in Phoenix Park Thursday.
The Heaton Park gig was great on Friday but I've a feeling the Irish crowd will be even more up for it!!
The song selection for the set is great. Only 2 Second Coming tracks made the cut and made way for classic B sides such as Mersey Paradise, Standing Here and Somethings Burning.
"Where Angels Play" got an airing also. That was released by Silvertone as a B side to an unauthorized single release of I Wanna be Adored in 1991. This tune was intended for the 1991 album they never got to record.
They might switch around the set for Dublin. Elephant Stone, Going Down, What the World is Waiting For and One Love
didn't feature in Manchester.

Where angels play into shoot you down was one of those i really wanted from this tour. not sure anyone but reni could really pull it off anyway.
Reni's drumming was a revelation. I thought the musicianship from Reni, Mani and John on "Don't Stop" was just a joy to witness.Originally Posted by Macy

They were just brilliant. can't wait until Thursday.
Was truly blown away in Heaton Park on Sunday night. Grew up on this band, have collected almost obsessively their available work but never thought I'd see them live. When it came to pass, I had prepared myself that it will be great to see them, even if they aren't all they once were, but there was no need as they were astounding. The musicianship is superb and while not wanting to single anyone out, Reni has to be seen to be believed.
Wish I was in Dublin this week, I would pay touts prices even to see them again. To anyone who's going, enjoy it.

Am just so excited. I haven't allowed myself to read any reviews or look at any clips til now coz it would've been an unbearable wait but today's the day I have spent over 20years waiting for. How do I sleep??? This is THE one. It's what the world was waiting for. Anyone else going have fun and if u see me come say hello.
Is there sun in Dublin?
Ignoring my sarcasm meter, but it is a lovely day here at the moment. Sun hats needed to be cool and keep cool
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Mate in Manchester said good, but a rip-off. Other pal who's a music producer of that genre said now it's just about the latter and a money-making exercise.
Pre-gig pints, you say? Don't mind if I do... Off to the pub now

Worth every penny the other night in my opinion, and judging by the atmosphere in there the majority would say the same. Good luck to them if they make a few bob as well considering the glut of bands who followed and made millions from basically aping them.
Sold my Phoenix Park ticket and heading to Belfast gig in August instead. Will have to wait a bit longer but just can't afford a day out a present, anyone heading to the gig tonight hope you enjoy

Absolutely class. Delighted I went, despite nearly losing my shoe in the mud a few times. Squire, Mani and Reni on form are something else.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
What a nite! Despite falling in mud and doing an already fragile ankle in and banjaxing my knee, it was one of the best nites of my life. I think its only sinking in that I got to see the roses live now, along with the fear of not being able to drive home.
