| Kasabian & Fratellis M.E.N 11/12/06 My thoughts: ALIVE fratellis rocked! only 3 of em! scottish lads such an amazing sound crowd were a bit boring, so were the lights and the stage but the music rocked! whole arena open tonight in between we messed with cameras and read the billboard ive got egg coming out of my nostrils lol i can see my house from here ??? what would you have texted? banana time found the kasabian flyer on the floor good music from the dejayyy led zeppelin KASABIAN finally came on stage wasnt bad 5 band members such an atmospheric sound lead singer loved the response from the whole 20 thousand people VERY popular band pretty much everybody was stood up and puttin their hands in the air nearly got stuck in traffic but just about got out in time Hevs thoughts: fucking awesome STUNTMAN!!!!!!!!!! the crowd loved the old songs cant remember the names of those though what a drunk bunch not including me of course "has anyone seen my shoe??" fratellis yeaaaaah but underrated at this gig didnt play Creepin' up the backstairs (!) why not??? shame nice quick exit this time my hair stinks of smoke.. blah next! Back in the MEN less than two weeks after Ashcroft. The upper tier was open this time. As Pete said at the start, when you go in the arena early with all the lights on it really does seem bigger. They had this cool text thing on the top screens now, first time ive seen it there. People were texting funny messages but they cost a bomb! Great idea though. Fratellis up on first. Surprised how the arena was still only like half full for the start of their set. Thought more people wud have made an effort to get there on time for them with these being pretty big themselves now. A lot of good lively tunes in their set. Best ones were the first, and last three songs (finished on Chelsea Dagger which was great). Shame they didnt do Country Boys & City Girls though! They prob could have picked a better selection of album tracks but still were good. Crowd didnt get into them enough, but thats usual for support acts. Another interval messing around on camera phone watching this cool DJ they had on stage (who played a bunch of cool tunes and was dancing). They had a white curtain up which fell down once the gig started and Kasabian came on to do their own cool intro tune. Then opened up with a very lively shoot the runner, into a cracking reason is treason. The crowd were very lively throughout with nearly everyone standing. Pretty impressive that they have gone from playing small local clubs in 2004 to this 20,000 packed arena in 2006. The lights were alright but nothing special. They played a big chunk of their new album, with a bunch of classics from the first. Popped to get a Pepsi midway through and got stuck behind some guy who ordered 7 pints to find out he couldnt carry them all!! The set wasnt as lively in the middle but picked right back up for a brilliant encore. Was a ace last three songs and crowd was more into the gig than ever come then. Will add photos when I find some! Set List: 'Brown Acid' 'Shoot The Runner' 'Reason Is Treason' 'Sun/Rise/Light/Flies' 'Cutt Off' 'Me Plus One' 'By My Side' 'Empire' 'Seek & Destroy' 'British Legion' 'Processed Beats' 'The Last Trip' 'The Doberman' 'Apnoea' 'Club Foot' 'Stuntman' 'LSF' MEN Review:
