Re: Manchester

I was there, and I enjoyed it very much. I also thought about whether to have a look at going to Wolverhampton tonight, but haven't done anything about it. I had an idea of what was going to be played, but it was nice to hear some stuff that I haven't heard for ages. If it were me, I'm not sure I'd ...

Re: Dark Matters Vinyl

Re: Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham?

I've been a couple of times, once on the 10 tour, and once with Paul singing. I can't remember whether people got up or not. Waste of time me posting, really.

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Re: WECB - JJ interview

That's a strangely-written piece, I was looking for some clue that it was translated from another language but it doesn't seem to be.
