It was amazing... That's really all I can say. You'll see for yourself, the show is tight as hell. Be warned, they started last night at 8:30 on the dot.

What time did the whole thing finish at?

The gig was over at about 10:45. The advertised support is actually next door in Crawdaddy. If you can help it, don't put anything into the cloakroom because the organisation for queueing was horrendous.

I arrived at 9.45 thinking they wouldn't be on until at least 10 or 11! I was so p*ssed off!!
Tripod must have been so hungry for money that night they needed to have the student night ASWELL as the gig
:mad:

i went to the thursday night gig.
got there about 9.10, king of snake was just started.
i was having a great time, but the show stopped at 10.45

did they play much stuff before snake???

ended up next door after paying in again..stayed til about 1.30 where a few us went back to the flat and had tunes till near 6.... thought i could have gotten away with a sickie on friday but not to be...in work for 11 dying all day...

reflecting back, it was a pretty good gig, though very thin on time...2 months off was the highlight of the night

next time im due in tripod is in december for the laurent garnier gig..thankfully doors are 10.30 for it, so the show should be a late nighter..

That didn't surprise me at all. I work next door to Tripod and i saw the crew unload their stuff at about 10am that morning! God only knows what took place between then and the opening, that they were probably f*cked tired by the time 10pm came alone!

VR!

Nope, the gig in CrawDaddy was my Oxjam gig and because Underworld were playing next door in Tripod, the staff in CrawDaddy were virtually no help to us all night. Money-grabbing shower of b*stards.

Wasn't the guy doing the Underworld retrospective (odd choice post Underworld gig...) advertised on ticketmaster as being support? Good times were had in Crawdaddy too though, so fair play, it was a good night.

Ah, I believe you are referring to the post-Underworld gig party?

Came on at 8.30 and finshed a little after 10.30 - so two hours which isn't a bad set for a Hyde (50) and Smith (48). I thought it was great in patches and only ok at other times. The newer, quieter more introspective stuff just doesn't give the same bang for your buck as Pearl's, King of snake, Juanita Kiteless, 2 months off etc. So, pretty good show except for the quiet bits, just wish they'd let those white yokes out into the crowd that would have been hysterical.

I guess they're both gettin on a bit - collective age of 98 and all....
