My Bloody Valentine - MBV

2006 would be about right, as I remember they were supposed to be assisting the great man but I think he got a bit stuffy about being too experimental (too experimental FOR FAUST ffs)it ended with Yan (or was it Hammy) receiving a punch fir their troubles.

I really like it as a venue, thank god it isn't at The Haunt.

It was Hamilton who got a punch on the nose - but I also remember Yan being thrown out by the security. The Haunt's awful, really pleased they're not playing there again.

I''m guessing The Haunt must be super cheap to hire because it has absolutely nothing else going for it. And the best part of £4 for a can of lager is just taking the mickey.

Yup, awful venue in terms of atmosphere and layout.

I would have to say that Audio is probably worse as a live venue with the stage running lengthwise and the most expensive beer in Brighton. Old market has a tiny pub just around the corner the name of which escapes me but is worth going to as queues in TOM are pretty mental.

But strangely, the sound has always been good when I've been there, I kind of wish it wasn't so I didn't bother.

Audio's all about where you stand, I gravitate towards the steps by the mixing desk, good view & as good as the sound gets in there. I've got a stupid soft spot for the place as I've seen some absolutely cracking gigs down there.

The pub is The Conqueror I believe. Good tip that.

Yes, good meeting place for Old Market gigs...

Saw them tonight. Incredible. I know a few on here went. Thoughts?

I went Tuesday and it was jaw-dropping. The sound was brilliant(loud & clear, no real need for the earplugs & no ringing ears the next day) where I was stood and at some points I swear you could actually hear Kevin's vocals!

Far, far better than 2009, just wish I'd got tickets for both nights.

 

[kevo]

Went both nights - amazing!

just checked and I have listened to 'Only Tomorrow' 93 times. This doesn't take into account the dozen or so times I have listened to whole album the vinyl.
