I think they kick off the tour tonight or tomorrow so should be good fun.

I've heard there is more then one manchester academy so we'll probably get lost on the way....

happy days...Rock on

What are they up to nowadays? I really went off them for some reason and to hear they're still around surprises me.

they fell apart when justin spent more time with charlie than the rest of the band (alledgedly).

saw him with Hot Leg supporting either WASP or Extreme and they were shoite.

seen the darkness 4 times and ranged from good to superb so hope at least sunday night will be somewhere in between

Well, what can I say. top night. TD were on top ofrm adn looekd liek they were really enjoying themselves. A good mix of old and new gave a good balance including a very toungue in cheek rendition of "Christmas Time".

opening with Black Shuck and Growing On Me got the place bouncing and aside from a few quieter moments during new stuff it didn't really stop. Crowd were good, ALOT of TD fans and a wide range of ages.

a couple of encores and everyone went home happy.

all in all easily 8/10 and great to have them back.

PS a very very worthy mention to Foxy Shazam 2nd support, off the all glam rock but they rocked. had a bonkers bald bearded keyboard player..energy??? jaysus.

happy days

Got to agree with all of that, I thought it was a crackin' concert with a really good atmosphere. thumbupmusic

It was much, much, much better than The Smashing Pumpkins one I went to on Friday night at the Manchester Apollo . They (TD) got the mix between the new and old stuff just right, something which the Billy Corgan got horribly wrong IMO! banghead

Will definitely go and see them again next year when they come back up here, they always put on a good show.
