Ok, I'm doing this. Less than 20 days to go people. Who's venturing down to the Wild (South) West?

With huge hanks to Del, I'm not having to pull out of this one (turns out we aren't our only saviours).
So I'll be there with bells on.

Aces. Work stuff means I'll probably not be in town until 8ish. If anyone is still pre-gaming id suggest the Hatchet just over the road. Or I'll catch you all in the O2.

I'm not one to make a fuss or keep score......
Foot massage and we'll call it quits.

I'm bringing my ex-boss, my brother and my wife! I think I'll be arriving in town pretty close to 8 unfortunately. Somebody put something on the message board when you head over to the venue?? I'll be looking out for you all - Del and Stringer, I think I'll remember your faces from the last time. I'll be wearing grey hold steady t with Victorian boxers on it, and I'm pretty heavily bearded! Let the joy commence!

Is that where you're staying until the show? Or will you be crawling to the hatchet later?

So, that was pretty special right? Close to my dream set list, especially because of multitude..

Hell of a night.
Great to see Stringer again after too long, and we had Rusty John from Newport along with us (South Wales Unified Scene!!)
Also great to catch up with kickingitwithkevin and the blondette (long time no see!). I was staying over for once, so it was nice to have a couple of beers (then a couple more) and not have to drive!
The gig was absolutely great, but I must say the crowd were the tamest I've seen at a Hold Steady show - they sang along (so were presumably fans rather than casual attendees!), but barely moved! At one point I felt like a having a bit of a Delia rant ("Let's be 'avin you!!)
I didn't see anyone else in a U Scene shirt (just me!) - I think you all went to London!!
Stringer and I were bouncing up and down and generally behaving as usual for front and centre. Apart from one really keen fella near us, most of the younger guys just seemed bemused! Maybe it was the sight of a bald, overweight old fella leaping around like a fool (me, not Stringer!!)
Anyway, the band were on top form, sounding more together than ever. Some of the onstage interactions were lovely too - little high fives and fist bumps. And Mr Selvidge is absolutely on fire, whilst making it look easy.
Setlist (nabbed from a kind roadie) as follows:
Positive Jam
Constructive
Hot soft
Frighten
Stations
Sequestered
You can
Multitude
Sweet part
Only thing
Hornets
Chips
Spinners
Weekender
Hoodrat
Stay Positive
Resurrection
Encores:
Oaks
Massive nights
American Music (with So So Glows)
So a pretty good set list. Delighted to hear Positive Jam, Constructive, Stations, Chips, Stay Positive. Favourites as ever. Also Hornets is always a treat.
I was a bit disappointed that Oaks is now cut about half short, (in a short encore) but glad to hear it live. Also, no offence to punks in general, but I would've happily swapped American Music for Killer Parties!
Anyway, I'm still in real pain (my knees are just destroyed), but it was a massive night.
And you're damn right we danced.
