Drove five hours down from central Scotland and five hours back. Not many bands I'd go that far for. Actuall my friend drove me - thanks Brian! And yes, satnav in Derby is pish. Ended up in a pub with the band before the gig, but decided not to say anything for fear of coming over like a twat!

Completely great, emotional and heartfelt - performance and crowd. My highlight was the spontaneous crowd singalong of 'HEADS you want a remedy, TAILS you want a remedy' and the band's delighted reaction - looked like Ritchie was up for starting to play it but they stuck to the setlist - might be reading too much into it there!

Great fun watching them interact on stage - it was the first time I've seen them and the best show I could have asked for.

During the summer everyone seemed to go mad for the Stone Roses reunion - fair enough, but for me, the most exciting and important reunion of the year took place last night. A very special evening.

went last night with two mates, we all loved it, the set was tight as hell bar the one slight misque which pete found highly amusing as we all did.
Was speeking to darius before and amazingly they had only had 3 or 4 practice jams prior to the derby gig, which made the performance even more remarkable.

The atmosphere was great, it was nice to see real anticipation and hunger amongst the crowd and the band did a great job of hitting all the right spots through the set.
Merch was good,got two tshirts in black and blue, plus the unreleased cd which has been on repeat all day!

Maybe im bias but this performance rolled back the years for me, and I honestly cant think of a gig ive ever enjoyed as much or that meant as much.

Thanks to the band and a good crowd for making it so good.

Damon, were you the chap against the rails, taking pics on iphone or whatever it was? I appologoised to someone at the end for crushing them all night but such was excitement coursing through my veins, I couldnt help going a bit mental.

Everyone who is going to manc and london, have a good one.

bluecactus:
Oh aye - support band were cool too. A hint of Mogwai? Great drummer, felt sorry for him cos his bass drum kept sliding away from him, I know how that feels during a show! Really enjoyed you guys if you're reading.

What can I say? We were watching from the sides with drinks in hand like typical 30 something's like we are until about 4 songs in then 14 years rolled away as we joined the pit. What a night! Got to say hello to Richie and matt after too when they all come to bar one round the corner after.

Can't wait for Saturday (wish I had the money to do all 4). Thanks guys!

Well where to begin...travelled down from Kettering on the train at 3.30 and got Derby at 4.30ish, from there to the hotel and get changed ready for the mighty Cable. Had steak in a restaurant and a pint before i exploded with excitment. I'm 38 and felt like a kid again waiting for the band to play.

First up though where Slow Season who i really enjoyed and so did my girlfriend, reminded me of Mogwai and a band to keep an eye out for! Now i saw Richie & Darius walking around the venue but for sum reason i got nervous and did'nt say anything, unusual for me but there one of my all time favourite bands.

Now for merch stand, Bought 2 t-shirts blue/black, tote bag, 4 copies of the unreleased cd & 5 badges. Now for the moment we've all been waiting for, on they come and the crowd go absolutely nuts, Song 1, God Gave Me Gravity, Honolulu & Vertigo are just some of the highlights of a great set. The band are clearly having a blast even when Matt forgets the lyrics & Pete Nearly falls off the stage laughing!

After a 3 set encore the band go to the merch stand to meet us all and sign stuff. Meet the whole band & Get all my cd albums signed plus my vinyl of When Animals Attack & Downlift The Uptrodden. Now for all you collectors out there the 7 track unreleased cd is gonna be very rare as there is only 194 copies made so get 1 quick! The band could'nt have been nicer even though i kept asking them to sign loads of stuff so thanx Cable for making a good year a great one. Cya Saturday for even more!
