Manics @ The Ambassador, Friday 30th

I got to go to this on a spare ticket so i was well excited, i only found out last wednesaday. A great gig by a band consistently show why theyve been playing for over 16 years, their first dublin gig was in 1991 and was attended by a crowd of 20.

They Opened with Motorcycle emptiness and continued in style playing some stuff that i hadn't heard them do before, Slash n Burn, roses in the hospital & Yes. A false start on your love alone, starting motown junk with a cover of the cult's She Sells Sanctuary & nice two song acoustic interlude by james dean bradfield made it fell like one of the more cosy and friendly gigs ive been to.

Nicky wire was also nice enough to tell us that he co-wrote your love alone with richie on a spritual level. Great gig, and that has no almost defiently rounded off my gigs of 2007, roll on british sea power in january.
