WOW!
What a top night it was.... where do I begin? (at the beginning??!!)
Bez opened the show with actually quite a good set of 3 songs, then 808 State and MC Tunes (Pacific State and Only ryhme that bites) got us dancing before Nine Black Alps set the place rocking. Things hotted up when Badly Drawn Boy came on but typical Damon goes and plays a song 'I wrote last week' before doing Silent Sigh and Dissilousion. Then Elbow before Johnny Marr and the Healers stormed the place!
They started with some intro which then turned round and became 'There is a light that never goes out' with Johnny sining. The place went apeshit! Now Ive seen him before and he cant sing - well last night he bloody sang! The place went mad! He then did three Healers songs before being joined on stage by Andy Rourke for 'How soon is now', again the place went bonkers!
Next up was Doves who did 'Pounding' before joined on stage by Damon Gough for a BDB song and then Johnny Marr and Barney from New Order and did Lou Reeds 'Vicious' and R Dean Taylor's 'There's a ghost in my house' with Barney singing.
Then New Order came on and did about 6 Joy Division songs, ending with 'Love will tear us apart' and 'Ceremony'.
Then the finale!
One massive jam with New Order, Doves, BDB, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, Bez + others and special guest Shaun Ryder for a cracking 10 minute Happy Mondays 'Wrote for Luck'.
Ended about 3 mins to midnight.
f***ing top night, well done Andy Rourke - cant wait for the DVD and for next years gig!
