Wraffah Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Personally I can't understand the need for the crowd to be pushing around and acting like idiots for you to enjoy a gig... I don't do the bouncing, quite happy to clap or sing though, but I couldn't care less about what other people do as long as they're not moshing and running into me. I'm there to see the band, not get in a fight with some halfwit from Coventry... Anyway, I very clearly lost my shit when Dead Star happened. I was so excited I was shaking and could barely even stand, never mind sing along. Did that mean I didn't enjoy it thoroughly? Not in the slightest!

TheHappySpaceman Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I wasn't able to go because I'm not British, but I heard that it was a really good show and that Blackout and Unintended returned to the setlist. I also heard that Matt Bellamy has stopped playing guitar on those songs. Is it true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben93 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I almost died from the crush at Reading. I was on the barrier and as far back as I could see (probably about 25-30 rows), there was just a mesh of arms and other body parts flailing about as well as several other mosh pits. First few songs at Reading were seriously crushed...up there with the worst i've been in Generally thought crowd on wednesday was really good but maybe just got lucky with where i was on Chris side near the front. Took until Bliss to properly get going a bit though also @usernameDOA cheers for those videos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernameDOA Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm squirming at some of the stories of you guys in the pit at previous gigs, there again that's me thinking like an overprotective parent! I don't like the thought of any of you being crushed at a gig, be safe and have fun folks. More than welcome Ben93, SS is now up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIn5VbeW2RE Unsustainable and Madness will go up over the weekend I'll be better prepared next week in Manchester, now I know to lower the video quality so it doesn't take all day to upload.

I also heard that Matt Bellamy has stopped playing guitar on those songs. Is it true? The live versions of Unintended I've always seen have Chris playing the guitar. Similarly the guitar gets going half way through the song, which is where Matt starts playing. The screens show Morgan almost always playing something during every song, even if it's just the tambourine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Assassin Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I have to say, I've been looking on youtube an so far I've not had much luck finding good quality videos of the gig but the vids that have been posted in this thread are great. Thanks a lot guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn. Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Whoa, what a quality! In both, audio and video. usernameDOA, your uploads are the best i see of the coventry gig bt far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernameDOA Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Whoa, what a quality! In both, audio and video. usernameDOA, your uploads are the best i see of the coventry gig bt far! Thanks, I'm glad everyone is enjoying them It's all down to the camera, which is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V. I upgraded from my old TX-7 which did superb video but only had a mono microphone and the sound was always overly loud (see my previous vids on my you tube channel for examples). This new camera strikes a nice balance I find, the still shots I got also turned out well. Will post some of the highlights of them once I get all the vids sorted for you guys. Looking forward to shooting more vids in Manchester, Barcelona and Berlin over the next few weeks/months *EDIT* Madness added http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH0z1_JQl5w&feature=youtu.be @ the guy behind me singing at the very beginning of the vid *DOUBLE EDIT* Here's Blackout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFkhTn9BF8k&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialAgentKit Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Could anyone tell me roughly what time they finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernameDOA Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 If I recall it was about 10.50pm they finished, well over their curfew of 10.30pm as stated on the signs outside the Ricoh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh okay, thanks just wondering because I'm seeing them tomorrow, do you think they'll finish at a similar time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usernameDOA Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hard to tell mate, it depends on what time they go on. I'm sure they came on late on Wednesday night which might explain why it overran so long. Either way enjoy yourself, it's a helluva production, can't wait till next Saturday in Manchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginOfGeorgia Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Much preferred when the banker was walking through the crowd like at Coventry compared to walking across the stage... after Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gKimber Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Much preferred when the banker was walking through the crowd like at Coventry compared to walking across the stage... after Coventry. Yeah I liked that as well, was great watching the stage screens and then looking around desperately for him! Looked much more effective as well than just on the stage!
