PYTHIA FORUM

I'm in. Cheers Mate. Tickets only available by collecting on the night to foil the touts.

Such a shame I won't be there! Lucky sausage, Tom!

Dammit...I can't make it. And I'm not going to Download either.

I might hate the new album but I'd still like to see if they can pull it off live

Some of us will just have to rely on Tom on getting a good recording.

Meh, I'll be at the festival itself on the 11th, getting there on the 9th!!!! So that counts me out, but sure as hell you'll see my catching their whole set at DL

err you do know that it doesnt open till the lunchtime on the 10th (Wednesday) dont you ?

I'll be at Download as well so cant make the London gig.

Getting to derby on the 9th to meet up with a few people and we're car park camping the tuesday night, just to clear that up

I'll do my best. It's even smaller that the Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth!

Didn't take any pics i'm afraid. When i'm at a gig i get in to the music, not a great one for photos.

Enjoyed them as usual and they only did about 4 or 5 of the new songs and some of them were being played for the first time so the set was mainly the old classics i've enjoyed in the past. Sound wasn't fantastic at times but the atmosphere was great with only about 200 people packed in there!

They didn't get onstage til about 10 (doors opened 90 mins late!) and half the band took the opportunity to get pretty pissed in the same pub as Emily and myself until pretty late. The effect on one band member in particular was obvious to all as he lurched onstage to begin the set!

Sounds like a good night was had by all Tom
Glad to hear you enjoyed the gig!!

Here's the setlist, new one's in red!

Spellbound
Our truth

Thanks for posting the set-list from the Lacuna Coil gig Tom

Now I really know I'll never see the LC I love again...where's the good stuff?!? (yes, I admit, some of those songs are ok but there's a lot of good stuff that could be on there)

They can't play everything sadly and it's bound to mainly be newer stuff. I miss "When a dead man walks" but happy enough with the rest. They are still a very good live band and i always thought they were better live than in the studio anyway.

Emily doesn't really like "Shallow Life" but thought the same i think.

We didn`t get Swamped or Daylight dancer at Download.
But there sure was more than 200 fans to play to. Like Portsmouth, I was in the second row, taking pictures(see the download thread) The band were up for it.
The atmosphere at the 2nd stage was better than the main stage IMO, and so was the Tuborg stage 3 as well.
Something struck me while watching Lacuna Coil, and the other bands on, until Motley Crue. They don`t know how to use the full width of the stage, strange. But the Crue were always running up and down the wings of the stage. True entertainers.
