"Manchester, hello. It's good to see you again." - Tom prior to Bullets
As we prepare for the impending return of the band to the live circuit, as part of the beast that will be the In Dream Campaign, here's another audio document from the ITLAOTE shows. The gig took place at the Manchester Academy, and the setlist is a good mix of old and new, including Open Your Arms, Walk the Fleet Road and The Big Exit which I've always found to be slightly unsettling for some reason. I wonder if that was the intention when they wrote it? It's weird how certain songs trigger different individual responses. Like Treasure always makes me feel cold, but Bricks and Mortar makes me feel warm. I get all sad when I hear Distance while Bones, as regular readers will already know, just incites me to jump around the room pretending that:-
a/ I can dance (I really can't)
b/ I can sing along (I probably shouldn't, apologies to the neighbours)
I don't have any information as to who recorded this (if it was you then please drop me a line so I can credit you here), but the files are being shared in their original FLAC format. Enjoy the music ;)
