Love everything they've done. Seeing them in Sheffield next Saturday. Different setlists so far on the tour so it looks like they're mixing it up a bit. They could easily play for much longer though, the amount of quality tunes they leave out of their set is ridiculous.
I liked the first album the best, the second album the second best....
i've only heard a couple of tracks from the new album from Later with Jools - which is on tonight
I went to both nights at Earls Court. They're so good live, and the new songs sound great live too.
Not gonna lie, I was at the front, but off to the side a bit, and I felt old at 26. I don't usually go to gigs that attract such a massive % of teenagers.
Alex has the dreaded Larry N Jitus and this evening's gig in Brum was cancelled hours before the doors opened. Tomorrow night's gig in Glasgow has also been postponed. Both gigs have already been rescheduled. Getting a bit worried about Saturday night's hometown gig now, was really looking forward to it.

I think that you have to contact that people that you bought the tickets from ^
Poor Alex. I bet they're gutted.
I was being lazy, should have just checked their website:
The show at the LG Arena in Birmingham will now take place on November 20th and the show at the Glasgow Hydro will now take place on November 21st. All tickets will remain valid for these shows.
A lot of people have been slating them on Facebook and Twitter for cancelling, some even speculating they got heavily drunk on Halloween. Slightly unfair.

I know. It's terrible, isn't it? I don't think that a show is ever cancelled or re-scheduled lightly.
Sheffield rescheduled now to Monday 18th November. Disappointing, but at least it's not too long to wait. Shame it's a Monday though.
The people slagging them off are just being dicks. They're the first gigs they've ever cancelled, they even played when Matt Helders was really ill and he had a sick bucket next to his drumkit which he used a few times. I'd rather them rearrange than play and it be a crap gig.

Bands play pissed all the time. A hangover wouldn't stop a gig.
Unless he is a total primadonna like Axl Rose but i doubt he is.
I love the fact the spelling of the band name is wrong in this thread :-)
I saw them the Saturday at Earls Court and in Cardiff on Tuesday - awesome live and his voice was fine pre Mercury party ;-)

Pretty stupid of them to suggest it, especially when the Arctics have now cancelled 3 gigs. Must be some hangover.
Saw them at their rescheduled show at the Sheffield Arena last night and they really are an awesome live band. Fantastic gig with an amazing atmosphere. You know you are in the presence of greatness when they put on a superb show without playing such stellar songs as 505, When The Sun Goes Down, View From The Afternoon etc.. Such a back catalogue to choose from after just 7 years in the business.
On reflection, I would have preferred them to drop Old Yellow Bricks from the set list (never been a favourite of mine) and play 505 or When The Sun Goes Down instead. Would have been the perfect gig then. But an amazing gig all the same and Turner is a 'proper' singer/frontman these days. And the new songs sound incredible live (although they do have more 'help' these days in the form of an extra guitarist/keyboard player as well as the occasional appearance from both Tom Rowley from Milburn and Bill Ryder-Jones from The Coral. Plus, bizarrely, a bloke standing at the very end of the stage who simply plays the tambourine on virtually every song!). BTW, Turner is a very underrated guitarist. Bloke can really play (and sing at the same time!).

I love Old Yellow Bricks but I love the other two songs mentioned too. I've been listening to 505 a lot lately.
Yeah, the Sheffield gig was great. Alex Turner has improved massively as a front man, even since the Suck It And See era. He's a lot more animated now.
It's ridiculous the amount of songs they've got that would be great live, they could pretty much do a whole setlist of stuff they didn't play!

That's 17 songs just off the top of my head that I'd be quite happy for them to play and that doesn't include any b-sides!

He says he's getting a bit too old for moshing now. He's only in his 30s. :rolleyes:
He said they were incredible.

On what dates?

No problem. Hopefully you can make that show instead.

That's good.
