glad you had a good gig,baz! was a bit worried after the dodgy start, the sound man was all over the place, but he recovered and what a fuckin belter! i died a very happy man last nite

noko filled some very big boots and he did a top job, applause to him!

awesome band back in the day, and still fucking awesome last nite

just a damn shame that one of the finest gutarists ever wasnt around for the reunion

I'm glad that YOU enjoyed it Bry...must have been quite emotional for you. As far as I'm concerned this gig had been playing on my mind for quite some while, never thought it would happen but now I'm so glad I went. Even though I'm not totally sold on all of the music I wouldn't have missed last night for the world. A genuine legendary gig I reckon. Been playing 'Real Life' all day btw

Not too much to add from what's already been written.

Got there pretty late due to getting stuck in the nightmare that is the 'curry mile'. Saw some of Ipso Facto, tbh thought they were pretty dull.
However, Magazine were brilliant, the warmth in that room was something I have rarely seen at a gig before. Especially after the opening 'light pours out of me'.
Nice to see that Howard is still as eccentric as ever and pleased to report that Noko nailed the guitar.
Agree with TBC about 'My Tulpa' and I would liked to have heard 'cut-out shapes' but those are minor qubbles in what was a fantastic night, even 'The Book' worked although it was greeted with derision from a few people around me.
Leaving the Academy all I could hear was people saying what a great gig it was.

Cheers Monsieur Batty! Looks like they were filming the gig on Saturday from what I could see so hopefully there will be a dvd release before too long.

I have heard one of their albums unfortuantley, when i was 9 thought they were crap then asked my uncle to put The Stranglers back on.

[theraven1979]

Doubt it - there were people over 5ft at the gig so unless he's sat like a little leprechorn on the barrier then he's got no chance

One of my oldest and closest friends turned up at 'TBC Towers' last night armed with mucho vino & beer not to mention a bag full of cds which included a coupla Magazine compilations. By Christ! Ain't that 'Complete Peel Sessions' album a corker
