- Great gig wasn't it?
  
  I've not been to a gig as loud as that since Oasis' wall of sound in 97. Ears are still ringing.

    - I stood right next to the speakers
      
      with decent earplugs. Amazing. I think the reason we had a good view was that no sane person without earplugs would want to get that close...

Really really tough

Let's see...

1) This Is A Low
2) Out Of Time
3) There's No Other Way
4) Fade Away
5) For Tomorrow

I guess. Ask me again and it'll be a different five. Well, This Is A Low and a different four.

Still can't get over just how good they were in Wolverhampton on Sunday.

- The first album is obviously their weakest
  
  but if the opening riff of There's No Other Way doesn't get you excited, you have no pulse.
  
  Damian @Damian | 7 Aug '12, 21:33 | X | ^ This | Reply
Tough one but....

1) For Tomorrow
2) This Is A Low
3) The Universal
4) Threadneedle Street
5) Badhead

Surprised that when I sat down to think about it that the top 5 all came from 1993 to 1995. Still love the later stuff though.
