This was only my third time of seeing B.R.M.C live and I can't believe it's been 4 years since the last show. This was definitely the best one I've seen. Thanks so much for a very enjoyable night!

I don't think I can even go about describing the performance. Let's just say it was B.R.M.C playing as well as they always do! I felt sorry for Robert and Peter when part way through Nick walked off and disappeared, but they got on with the show really well and we got to hear some of the acoustic songs. It's only a shame that some people close to me thought this was the opportunity to be rude and start talking...

I also now understand why everyone has been going on about the live version of 666 Conducer. It was amazing! One of my favourite songs of the night. It seemed so much darker than the album version. I loved that Robert stood on the speaker during the song.

Before the show I had been hoping to hear American X and I wasn't disappointed. They ended the night with Heart and Soul, during which Robert went down into the audience and I wished I was standing on that side of the stage!

An amazing experience!

Great musicians strutting their stuff, and usual. Missed them in Berlin, but was in UK yesterday, which ment I could hammer across country 200miles to catch them again! Felt that the crowd was way too reserved for the first half hour of the show, and you could see the band felt it as well. Peter asking 'how you guys doing tonight?', being met with the odd murmer and whistle from the back of the room...'that good? thats where we're at he laughs. Come on...I'm 34 and was rockin away, and felt like the only one for a while...come on ffs! its a rock show!!! Eventually something snapped though ( either Howl tracks, or Nick coming back on),something pushed the crowd and the band up a gear and it ended up a real gig, with Rob jumping into the now hyped crowd...and even Jago feeling comfortable enough to take off his jacket, even look up from the kit! Nicely saved gig lads...but Jago, with your walk off, we're owed 'red eyes' next time!

Magnificently started, heroically rescued and majestically finished. The show was testimony to how a good band pulls itself out of trouble when stuff like disappearing drummers occurs! The frontmen came out smelling of roses due to the manner in which they handled themselves, and the impromptu accoustic section highlighted good musicmanship. Loved the gig but am sorry that band may have suffered a maiming of spirits in the concrete canvern that is the LCR.

missed them in Glasgow due to illness, drove four hundred miles to catch this gig instead, and it was worth every yard of asphalt covered. mindblowing, effortlessly soulful, totally pro. only wish the left hand half of the audience (as seen from stage) had made a bit more effort to earn it - the lukewarm way they reacted, especially at the end, I thought we were lucky to get an encore at all. the band handled it all very graciously indeed, and covered for their drummer elision with consumate style. many thanks!

(ps - didn't hurt to have the Warlocks as support, either - that was an unexpected surprise bonus for me, been trying to catch those guys for a while now)
