Damon:
I'm sat in my hotel room, which conveniently only about a 20 minute taxi from the venue and just had to say that tonight was genuinely the best gig that i have ever been to. The audience just showed such love and pride in the band and the atmosphere that it created was just phenomenal.

The set list was just a fans wet dram. It had singles, b sides, past live favourites and even one that they had never played live before.

The smiles on the faces of the crowd was matched by the members of the band, each one clearly loving playing together again. I have never seen a band smile so much.

Merch!?! Yes! There was fucking merch -

1 When Animals Attack CD?s

2 T-shirts, which is awseome (but out of all the colours they had the only one available in small was the black and white one, god damnit i wanted to at least be able to buy a couple in different colours) The chance to own a Cable t-shirt again is very rare.

3 From here you can See Yourself (the random ?best of? album that was  released quickly after the band broke up that had random singles and random album tracks that any fan would have already owned but then one song that was an alternate studio version of Oubliette which was only there to make fans buy an album of songs that they almost had no need to fucking buy)

4 demos and unreleased songs CD. (Yes!) A kind of tour EP that contains demos and unreleased songs (obviously) which is FUCKING TITS!

I didn?t really want to listen to the CD on my laptop as the speakers aren?t particularly brilliant but was too curious to see what was on it.

So here it is ?

1 (eighteen) Seventy - Demo of an acoustic version of Seventy that most fans would have but in tits quality

2 Vertigo (demo) ? another demo that most fans would already have but in great quality

3 Cape Fear  - Alternate ?brilliant quality version? of the Rick Wakeman demo

4 Moonless Night In The Small Town ? Tarzan demo but in great quality

5 Yesterday On The Horizon (demo) ? Another demo that most fans would already have

6 Hexagon Eye (demo) - Another demo that most fans would have but in great quality

7 Letters To Nowhere ? Alternate version of the ?One For The Ladies Stallion? demo (but with completely different lyrics. 

Set List-

I was geeky enough to note the set list for anyone interested (not a particularly easy thing to do when your against the barrier and every single person in the venue is jumping around right behind you) -

1 Song 1

2 Blindman

3 Souvenir

4 Pocket Promise

5 Brothersand Sisters

6 Sale of the century

7 Freeze the atlantic

8 God gave me gravity

9 The colder climate

10 Seventy

11 Honolulu

12 Vertigo

Encore -

1 New set of bruises

2 Yesterday on the horizon

3 Oubliette

Travel-

It took me 4 and half hours to drive to Derby. The M25 and M1 can suck my fucking balls!!! Oh and by the way, did anyone else have a nightmare with Sat Nav? Derby doesn?t actually match the Sat Nav map and has roads, buildings and even a motherfucking B&Q that Sat Nav has never seen before and simply can?t comprehend.

So anyways, i?m curious to see what everyone thought of the show AND the merh? Also, i did manage to get a few pictures, as i was at the barrier i got some quite good ones. If anyone got any awesome pictures post them, if we get enough decent one's from the shows maybe we'll add a gallary of them on the site, so lets see them.

So anyways, i'm genuinely curious to find out what you thought about the evening?

Damon!

martin_lindau:
Fully blown away, way too tired to say anything now.

One of the best, most heartfelt gigs I have ever been to. It meant so much to many.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

I'll be on my own, so if any of you happen to recognise me, please say hi!!

Jezmyers:
here are my thoughts;

Merch - very good except for overpriced tote bags. one t-shirt design available in red (girls) and blue/black.

Set - was excellent. Quite tight taking into account the timing changes and that they don't play regularly.

Missing songs - Well, there were some but unless they played the entire back catalogue that was always going to happen.

The band looked liked they loved it, that's the most important thing. Richie looked like he was going to collapse throughout!

nicof:
Very happy. Very happy.

Can't believe they didn't play Blue Birds... But I enjoyed the short, crowd rendition of Ultra Violet... :)

The red/yellow t-shirts, despite being said to be skinny fit, just seem to be regular men's mediums... Or at least my mate's one seems to be...

Took two Cable 'virgins' along. They loved it too. Who wouldn't!?

One of which was the lad taking shed loads of photos (he does stuff for BBC Introducing sometimes). I'll try and nick his shots...

Oh, and satnav is definitely balls about Derby... Having said that, we took a 25 mile detour down the m40 where it merges with the M42... but that was driver error...

Sarlacc:
Seeing that setlist has made me very exited about Saturday. Gutted they'll not be playing a full set, but I'd take any of those songs. Will totally lose my shit if they play yesterday on the horizon :)
