Are you big Down Under yet? #fnarrfnarr

You need to a) get a beer and b) get a life!

First third of that set: Second third: Third third:

And those of us in the far North of Britain plc were very much tucked up for the night, dreaming of a streaming discount and the announcement of a six date tour of Scotland in 2024.

That's a tasty set list. And you got Levee at last. You've been moaning about that for ages and now you're all meh about it. Never any pleasing some folk.

I for other vote for a whole set played in polka 2/4 time with mazurka versions of the Rock Show Ending encore.

'Cos you're my fact checkin' cuz...

Our last show on this run of dates. ☹️ Left me feeling very happy 🙂 but sad not knowing when we’ll see them again. 😕 Veterans my arse. Still a band at the peak of their powers and righteously concerned about the state of your prostrate. #fuckingrockandrollbaby

I’ll leave it to the set list meister to fill out the details once he returns from Cork, but this was a fun show, with Tweedy in jovial form. The student Union venue lent itself to a ‘rock block’ finish, even though there were no students and most of the audience seemed to be pensioners. Or farmers waiting for a cattle auction to begin, going on the reactions next to me. 😬 Did I get the listing title right Paul??

I’ve not heard ‘sassenach’ used for years, and it’s not exclusively Glaswegian. Nice to meet you, albeit briefly, too! (But sorry, I’ll never be a ‘Brit’) 😁

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNND ! In all honesty, I've seen them play better, have better sound, better set lists and (much) better banter. But what a very special night. We did them proud.

Strictly speaking they did play two different sets. The word that was missing was ‘completely’ 😬

I have applied for a refund under the British trade’s description act. I was promised two different shows and only got one and a half. But HELL IS CHROME FFS!! So I’m happy.

Pah! Not the show as I remember it. Then again I was up to 4am drinking Utrechtian brewed Russian Imperial Stout!

LOL - you can see what he's thinking - 'this band is OK, but...'

You're banned in Scotland!

OMG the thought of you actually driving this side of the pond should have been made aware to the Spanish authorities!

It'll be horse betting next, then dogs, then the slippery slope into craft beer...

WHIT!!! How very dare they! I’m awa tae burn all my tickets for the summer shows!

He's the King of Queues, the Prince of Waits*, the Earl of Linger, the Duke of AirMiles, the Governor of Loyalty Points, the Chief Oratory Officer and Nos Correspondante to the Southern Hemisphere and exiled Brazilians. (Not a euphemism). (*Doesn't include Tom Waits)

Such is the power of social media - the immediacy of reporting the minute after the band leaves the stage, the instantaneous catalogue of set lists and then... the five day wait to hear back from nos correspondante on how his travel home was screwed up by cancellations, delays, bad weather and bad service. #promisespromises Personally I can't wait.

OH - we don’t talk about ‘them’…. 😬

Obviously your Scottish trip avoided ‘the great unwashed’ in Glasgow then?

That's a pretty big 'tweak' to the set we saw in Cologne two nights earlier. Pretty rock n roll for a seated boiled sweet eating German audience. (The gentleman behind me at E-Werk was eating Haribos through the show)

(Now that I've finally got back into my account ...) On behalf of Scots everywhere I apologise for the absolute Weegieness of that fucking prat. Totally weegie behaviour. You can take the boy out of Glasgow, but you'll never put the soap on his back. Good show tho. In fact rather fucking excellent show and I wish I had more on the board
