Crazy Diamond Posted 21 October, 2011 Share Posted 21 October, 2011 Do you think someone is trying to blow the deal, and kick the touts in the nuts. The bad thing about this is that a fan misses out on the tickets AGAIN!!! Yeah most likely. The winning bid was £620 anyway. Still mental if you ask me. I went for a job interview on Thursday, and I've just noticed that the head of the company has tweeted that he has six tickets to the gig and is looking for people to go with!

Ewell Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 You are right with the second part in my opinion, they would be better in a large inoor arena, but I am sure they will play in one. Saw Ian Brown at Somerset house, and it was the first time he covered Stone Roses stuff, and the crowd went nuts, just thinking of that x 100 = Fanbloodytastic!! The first time Ian Brown played Roses songs were at Esher in July04, a totally mind blowing gig and one of the many times I have seen him live. Check the review out here. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/ian-brown-claremont-landscape-garden-esher-surrey-554778.html BTW well done on getting tickets, gutted I missed out!

Cestrian Saint Posted 22 October, 2011 Share Posted 22 October, 2011 Got 2 for Friday and 4 for Sunday. First saw them in 1989 a day after my 17th birthday in a club in Chester. Didn't have a clue who they were at the time. Went to Blackpool in '89 and Manchester Apollo in '95. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 29 October, 2011 Share Posted 29 October, 2011 i'm going on the sunday as well. £55 wasn't to bad a price IMO considering the demand there was for tickets. Really looking forward to it. Love them, love Ian Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Nirvana were always over-rated, even before he died, by a music press desperate for something musically safe and obviously in the "rock n roll" narrative.

shirleysfc Posted 1 July, 2012 Share Posted 1 July, 2012 We went to see them Friday and they smashed it. Those who doubted their sound and Brown's vocals have been left eating humble pie. Apparently they're making a documentry of the come back which will be good viewing when released. Anyone else go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they're making a documentry of the come back which will be good viewing when released. Anyone else go? Yeah I did. Apart from The Roses (who were majestic, yeah Ian Brown still can't sing live) it was a f*cking shambles, a disorganised f*ck the paying public shambles. Still Salford Quays & Manchester itself was very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 I know youtube isn't a fair reflection of gigs, as much as i love them, it really didn't sound too good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 I know youtube isn't a fair reflection of gigs, as much as i love them, it really didn't sound too good imo. You're right, it's not. I was there Friday night and they sounded brilliant. The gig was class and some crappy recording on a mobile phone is never in a million years going to capture the sound, atmosphere and buzz of the gig.

This Charming Man Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 Yeah I did. Apart from The Roses (who were majestic, yeah Ian Brown still can't sing live) it was a f*cking shambles, a disorganised f*ck the paying public shambles. Still Salford Quays & Manchester itself was very nice. Agreed there. Queued any hour for a beer, literally as I got to the front they closed the bar citing safety reasons. Then everyone just piled over the bar and robbed it instead. Apparently that was the last bar to close, so by 8pm there was nowhere onsite to obtain a beer. Luckily my mate who was the last to get served got as many bottles of wine as he could fit in his pockets so that kept us going... just. After the gig I expected the public transport to be a shambles and they didn't disappoint. Ended up walking 1.5hrs back into the city centre. Well worth it though.

jasonb Posted 2 July, 2012 Share Posted 2 July, 2012 No queuing issues for beer last night at the bar next to Gate 1. 10 mins tops...trying to get away from the gig was a mess though... I got in at 1am after an hour walking back towards our part of Manchester before finally hailing a cab. Colleagues of mine were more like 2am having walked all the way back to the city centre via Cheetham Hill Road. Woefully inadequate infrastructure for 75k people.

We paid for the shuttle bus Friday night but still didn't get back to our hotel until 1ish. The bars weren't set up to cope with the number of people there, luckily we sneaked some vodka in.

RedAndWhite91 Posted 3 July, 2012 Share Posted 3 July, 2012 Went on the Sunday. Unbelievable gig. I was right at the front and just yards from them. They sounded excellent, Brown's voice wasn't bad at all. The atmosphere was incredible and it's something I'll never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewell Posted 5 July, 2012 Share Posted 5 July, 2012 I went on the Saturday and it was an incredible gig. A nice review here. http://louderthanwar.com/stone-roses-heaton-park-saturday-live-review/ The transport back into town was a total joke, but I knew it would be as it was for Oasis a few years back. Some lad gave me and my other friends a lift to town which was well worth it for the drink we gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 July, 2012 Share Posted 20 July, 2012 Saw them at Optimus Alive festival in Lisbon last friday, and got pretty near the front. All the criticism of Ian Brown's singing has been justified IMO, as he was quite badly out of key at times, but the crowd were drowning him out most of the time anyway and you could see how much he loved engaging with the crowd. He even had a go at rapping at one point while the other guys were jamming at the end of a song, and sounded great. Overall though, I thought they absolutely smashed it and it was probably the best festival headline set I've ever seen. Even Radiohead, who headlined the sunday night and were brilliant, didn't come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
