maybe, I got the sat nav to take with me in my small bag, so no naughty buggers nick it, but Jue says we're at the back of the M.E.N as she only booked the tickets a few weeks ago......dunno, really.

I've seen them a few times and been on the barrier for them, so I'm excited, but not as excited as Jue (who is driving me potty with excitement)

She's still hyper after meeting MCR, she want to try and meet Ian Watkins!

Her mum is looking after her 2 kids for her....... don't know how she'll be about us getting home for 2 or 3 in the morning!

We got in trouble for a terribly late night out a while ago :oops:

I'm excited though, but not looking forward to the drive, I hate driving through Stockport and Manchester, but I can entertain myself with thoughts of driving through Stockport where the lovely Dommykins was born...... :roll:

last night......

after a hilarious argument with the sat nav (we went up the A6 as normal and found a road that takes you right to the arena, while the sat nav kept trying to get us to take the long way round on the Mancunian Way so I just turned it off) we got to the arena.

We got to our seats at 7.20 and Aiden were on! We literally got to our row and the lights went off and had to use the lights from our phones to find seat numbers. Its the second time I've seen Aiden and they had an impressive circle pit, but the Wall of Death was forbidden.... I saw it at Leeds and can understand :lol:

Taking Back Sunday. You have to see them if you get the chance. Adam minced around and called us 'Manchesterarians'. Cracking good band live, they finished with 'MakeDamnSure' which nearly took the roof of the arena.

The prophets...... I have a special place in my heart for them, they got me back into 'this type' of music after I'd been away for a bit while having my youngest child. They got me into MCR years ago too.

I know I'll create a stir but they made the transition from the smaller venue to arena last night with style and ease. they were born for arenas. As much as I love MCR, their live show is very visual, while the prophets obviously have a good light show etc, it really is just about putting on a damn good live show, and that's exactly what they did. I've never seen a crowd so into all the bands, Aiden and TBS were worshipped as much as the prophets.

I've never seen an entire arena standing for a gig, not even MCR. The standing crowd were the most animated I've ever seen, there were always 2 circle pits on the go, usually 4. When 'Rooftops' came on I think we blew them away with our singing.

They did 'Burn Burn' three songs in which was a bit of a suprise and they did a greatest hits set, but all I wanted to do was sing and be entertained, and thats what I got. They finished with 'Shinobi'

I know I rattle on about MCR a lot but last night the prophets reminded me of a lot of things and one of them was just why i love them so much.

Forget any preconceptions you may have about Ian, their image etc and just give them a chance. They put on a f**cking good live show.

how could I forget the circle pit *smacks forhead in disgust*

The prophets finished with Shinobi and Ian started doing gestures for a circle pit towards the middle of the song. The first four or five rows at the barrier stayed put, but the rest of the crowd went back to where the mixing desk is in the middle of the floor and a circle pit at least a third of the MEN's floor space in size got underway. Aiden always have an impressive circle pit going but this one was incredible. I'm a seasoned gigger and have never seen one that big!

They also did the first song behind a white gauze and where their bodies were silhouted from behind onto the fabric, but with different colours which was quite impressive too. Very effective.

I always get flashbacks after gigs where suddenly I'll remember something. Ian also said in between song banter the'yll be releasing a new CD in the winter, and Jamie did a Matt Bellamy (but not as good) where he played a beautiful piece on the piano while some technicalities were sorted out. He's a good pianist. It wasn't as good as the time at Rock City last June where he started playing 'Push It' by Salt n Pepa and Ian started rapping to it in his gorgeous Welsh accent, making it a very funny piece of between song banter.
