Wall of Mouths

Looking at the Forum listings, all of the shows in November have a time of 19.00, so would suggest that is the time the doors open, rather than the stage time.

I don’t remember them playing Die Laughing in the encore though.

Set was awesome. Great to hear Fantasy Bag again.

Ricky Warwick closed his set with Belfast Confetti, and had started a set with a song which was probably called Church of Paranoia. Somewhere in between he played what he described as his Maiden/Cash fusion of ‘666 The Number of the Man in Black’.

It was an excellent set, although you have to wonder how many bands can get away with playing just 3 tracks from 6 of their previous 7 studio albums! Don’t get me wrong, I love the earlier stuff, but the set contained more tracks from Babyteeth and Pleasure Death than the combined total from Semi-Detached, Suicide Pact, Shameless, High Anxiety, NANE and OCFA.

I like the fact that after all these years, the boys can still surprise the audience, opening with Opal Mantra a prime example.

Having missed the earlier tour this was my first chance to hear the new stuff live and it was glorious. Neil’s drums have never sounded finer. I was a touch disappointed by the levels of Andy’s guitar and vocal but all became clear when he said the show was being recorded for a forthcoming live album.

Sorry to hear about the girls getting assaulted. That is bang out of order.

Scratch that - first T? gig since the Barfly show in August 05 where we were treated to some acoustic NANE!

I’m there. I think it’s my first Therapy? gig since I saw them play at Werchter in 2005 and really looking forward to hearing tracks from Crooked Timber live.

Infernal Love
Nurse
Babyteeth
NANE
Troublegum
Suicide Pact
Semi Detached
Pleasure Death
High Anxiety
OCFA
Shameless

I sit in the camp that says OCFA simply wasn’t very good. Regardless of talk of poor production, the album as a whole just wasn’t up to the standard I’ve come to expect. But lets be honest, T? have made a lot of great records and set themselves high standards to be judged upon. Shameless and OCFA are poor. End of

Great news. I got my Werchter ticket in the post over the weekend and now finding out T? are playing on an already good bill is the icing on the cake. I can’t wait

I think the best thing about the recorded version of sister is the dual vocals - and with only Andy providing vocals for it last night it certainly wasn’t up to scratch.

Overall though I don’t think the lack of Martin’s guitar was a great loss. However, losing the electric cello means that we are unlikely to see the band play great songs like Ten Year Plan again which is a real shame.

The set list was pretty much the same as the one posted from the Aberdeen gig, though Innocent X was kept back for the encore with Teethgrinder moving into the main set.

Hi gf. Sorry to hear you didn’t find any wombles after you spoke to me last night. I personally thought the show was up to the usual high standard that Therapy? set and I’m looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow night in Reading

found my answer for Reading, Amplifier and White Light Motorcade are in support. No idea who they are but never mind

Title: Support

Any ideas about who is supporting at the Reading gig?

I wasn’t in Dublin but I saw them in London the night before… and they were great. I liked the album but it really came to life with them playing live… strange that they covered the white stripes but a fantstic show

Title: deftones

Bit good at Brixton last night :D

Diane perhaps would not be the best of choices

I’ve have to dig my ‘I hate everyone but you’ shirt out sometime. Been years since I’ve been thrown out of Budgens :)

Cheers for mentioning Opal Mantra, gives me a damn good excuse to cough up the cash to get my turntable fixed!

its a fair point you make, but I expect that most of the people who went to the shows had got their mitts on High Anxiety already. At the Oxford show I don’t think the new album even got a mention but never mind. Guess I’m just greedy really but its the bands fault for making so much good music over the years.

I’ve seen them twice on the tour and they’ve played eight songs from the album on both occasions. Don’t get me wrong, good album and the tracks are fantastic live, but where are Nausea and Teethgrinder, they are classic!

The main surprise for me was just how much of High Anxiety they wanted to play. Its a cracking album and you can see how into the music they are but I certainly agree it is a shame to come at the expense of some oldies

If you look at the Bad Mother post, you will see they played BM at Oxford which was a bit of a surprise. Tend to agree with your sentiments though, there weren’t too many surprises apart from the fact that Teethgrinder was not played. Mind you, if they had left out Knives, Screamager, Nowhere, Trigger Inside, Die Laughing, Potato Junkie, Stories and Church of Noise we probably would have been annoyed then as well.

Teethgrinder and Nausea were sorely missed. I remember seeing them play Disgracelands about five years who was tops, if unexpected. Dancing with Manson or Innocent X would have been my choice for an obscure track

its certainly not the dingey little hole it used to be

yeah I’ve got that bootleg, its called This Disease or something like that

Title: Bad Mother

THe boys played Bad Mother in the Oxford show, damn it was good to hear it again! Virtually identical to the London set but they threw this one in after Stories

Were you at the front and slightly to the left? If so, we might have been next to you. THanks for not pushing too much.

Yeah that sounds like me, though towards the front to the left is also pretty much at the back to the right in that venue. Mind you, I try to keep things in good order down the front and am normally the first to offer an arm to somebody on the ground.

thats about right… and for each action sequence they show the same clip about 17 times

they’re playing a brixton in a couple of weeks too, and I for one will be there

I think the singer from 3 shades of pain would probably earn a lot more money as a look alike for Bruce Springsteen in his younger days than through singing.
