Agreed, if you can't be respectful, get out of the theater!

[Beck..]

Amazing show,Acoustic Speed of sound was awesome,1 merch stand was a joke 1500+ all trying to buy a t shirt at the same time,but great show

[booth jam]

Just got back home, got to say it is one of the best gigs I have ever seen. My wife, my two best freinds and I have talked about the set all the way home. Thank you Eddie.

[Shawshank]

What a bunch of fucking assholes. Glenn only played 5 songs because of those pricks...some people actually appreciate this guys talent...if you don't GTFO!

[ComeToTX]

Just reading these gives me the chills! Can't wait for November.

[Pauk]

The problem with the Apollo is that the bar is in the seating area, and people are ALWAYS going to talk at the bar (probably completely oblivious to how sound will travel down to the stage), so unfortunately silence isn't possible.

The crowd in general were pretty annoying with their attention seeking shouting at certain parts (what the hell was up with the "What did you have for breakfast?" guy and the woman who decided she needed to finish off Ed's story for him?!), but at least people in my immediate vicinity were perfectly pleasant.


Great set, loved the version of Betterman, and sooooooooo glad to hear the demo version of Speed of Sound.


BTW does anyone have any youtube videos with the same version of Betterman (doesn't have to be at manc)?

[TamZippy]

The problem with the Apollo is not that there's not enough bars and the main bar is in the hall where artists are playing. Because of this there's always a lot of traffic and noise. Closing the bars during Glen's set would have been a better idea.

On a positive note the gig was amazing, unbelievable setlist.

[veddertown]

Very nice set tonight. I just about wish I'd gone but Manchester from here is such an expense especially right on the back of 2 PJ shows there only last month. You need to time it better next time Ed! As for Glen, if you can't be fucked with the support stay out of the fucking room! It really annoys me when people show disrespect to the level that an artist feels the need to mention the talking never mind unplug the sound! Assholes, honestly! These are the same kind of people who find it amusing to piss on public toilet seats. Get a fucking life! I've had gigs ruined by your type and it's very annoying. Please stay very far away...
