What an unusual setlist
Did anyone go and was it as amazing as it seems to have been?

went on sunday not the saturday.

was a riot at the front, really mad moshing. superb gig but....

i think they are up there own arses now, they went off stage than came back for an encore, there arctic monkeys not bon jovi! they didnt play mardy bum or a certain romance at the end like they usually do, everyone was really suprised. nettles is a tune. alex seemed to get pissed off with all the sweets that were getting thrown around, maybe thats why. they looked good as a five piece when miles kane came on to play a couple of songs. shit venue, wouldnt go there again, the girl i went with, lost her shoes so i had to give her mine as we walked 2 miles to the nearest station!!!! long!

when they played if you were there beware, i swear i was gonna die, there was this cirlce about 20m wide and everyone was just waiting for the drop, madness....

cant imagine them not playing a certain romance as the final song ... seems wrong in a way. guess i will have to get over that if i'm going to go to any gigs in the future (which i hopefully will) and not feel slightly disappointed.
but apart from that it does sound quite brilliant, even if the monks were as arrogant as ever
too bad about the shoes. hopefully they weren't her favourites.

[arctic ana]

sounds really great,except the shoes incident... and the setlist is really brilliant even tho some of my fav songs are missing.

don't moan. might be shit venue, but the bands are pretty amazing, and did you not enjoy it just a little bit? cos if you did then it was worth it.

it was worth it, i loved the gig, but the venue is poor, terrible location, it has put me off going. would of been easier to play brixton academy 2 nights running, or even earls court

sounds good, quite a long setlist from what i can see aswell which is good.

random question, whats the capacity for ally pally?

about 7000 i would say. wasnt huge, and the sound quality is really good.

o rite

also you people who were upset that a certain romance got played in the middle instead of at the end like usual, I know someone who went to the 2nd manchester one and a certain romance didn't get played at all !

same, on the sunday they didnt play it either.

whats all the fuss about guys??? these lads have been playing the same songs every night more or less for the past year i reckon their probably sick of a certain romance to be honest.i think fair play to them for mixing it up a bit and writing and playing new tunes while theyre on the road. i was there and my only complaint was to the twats pushing over girls.best arctic monkeys gig i've been to and sandtrap sounded quality...would love to hear it again
