Maybe somewhat surprising but I can tell ye unfortunately there actually isn't any what you'd call "cool" bars in the surrounding area
Better options would require a tube ride imo, Baker street which is about 15 mins away is probably the closest for such.
The gig isn't in the stadium so you don't have access to those 34 bars
Theres a shopping district in the vicinity with a bunch of eateries and such, bars are all the kind set up to flog you grub, TGI Fridays, etc tbh you're nearly as well off drinking in the bar of one of nearby hotels like the Ibis or the Green Man.
If it was for something in the stadium the best option is honestly bag of cans outside Sainsburys and chat with other fans, I've not seen that been done for any of the shows I attended at the arena though so wasn't an option for me to attempt to do so on me own. :pac:0 -

Ya frustration on venue understandable staff could do with some retraining me thinks and the area does be lacking for places to go for a post gig conversation. Saw the printed setlist online and ya curfew also robbed us of 2 songs too.
For taking in the show itself it did the job, sound was super, Zero-Everlasting gaze-Stand inside was quite the highpoint for me personally but obviously a rake of the hits and classics throughout with odds/covers thrown in for good measure.
The no smoking thing was in the same boat there dunno what happened there as they used to allow for it, not just smokers but venue was warmish I felt to not have an option for a breather in a place for 4+ hours isn't kind,people paid a chunk of change to be there.
Backdrops during the show were indeed impressive during some felt a lot going on with also watching the band on stage was a challenge to take it all in, not sure how many times Billy changed costume either
Mayonnaise-Porcelina backdrops were particularly great, the features dropping down for Tonight,Tonight was to good effect too.
They really do have quite the catalog wouldn't have said no to Bodies,Perfect etc getting an outing.0 -

Can't understand why they would be doing covers either,space oddity is an ok song but as you say they are not stuck for tunes.Apart from Landslide would almost consider that a pumpkins song.0 -

Looks like the Bologna fans are getting their show tonight,so nothing to serious hopefully.
Perhaps I was a little harsh,will wait for the album before rushing to condemn.
Apologies that couldn't meet you Collie.First I got a cab and rush hour traffic took alot longer than expected to get to the stadium ,then queing to get in,then inside I couldn't text you but could txt Wrongway.Kept getting not delivered.
And then sure no where open post gig we could find. I just called it a night at that stage.
And another thing golden circle me hole,we were standing.Not sure why I thought it was something with a more elevated status than that.
I also did also sneak a smoke in the jacks...there is always a way 0 -

Definatly the most expensive gig I have ever been to, ok for a once off but can’t see myself going to Wembley arena again myself.
Thought the set list was great but don’t get why they played the theme song from dumbo at the end of what billy had on his head😂
Doesn't ring a bell is there a video of it? Youtube is choc a block with footage of the gig. 0 -

Had a few beforehand and wanted to remember the show. The covers were fine but can't understand why a band with such an extensive catalogue of songs need to do covers. We didnt get Muzzle or Solara as they ran out of time. Standout tracks were Hummer, Soma, Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans, Thirty-Three and The Everlasting Gaze. New song Silvery Sometimes sounded great again. If they do ever come back, I'll be going again.
Silvery Sometimes is muck its an 1979 wanna be ,anyway SP are neither alt or indie these days .. music does move along
idles are the most cutting edge band of the moment

Yeah it's okay, I think the length of it stopped it to becoming an effort tbh.
It doesn't sound like a band though I know it's often debated how much input the original members had in earlier releases but those albums until Adore came along did have the feel of an oiled unit. Jimmy Chamberlain I mean with the exception of certainly 'Solara' and perhaps one other track he may as well be a drum machine. There is the presence of 3 guitarists credited on here too, sorry what?
'Knights of Malta' think after a few listens I'll defo never grasp that one, the woo woo woo is just silly it made me laugh when walking in public though. Everything else on there don't have a bad word to say about it but at the same time it's unlikely I'll be returning to it in any regularity.
In 'With Sympathy' what's with the lyric "Tis the secret of the Irishman" actually thought the chorus was "It's for the love of Ireland" the first time I heard it 0 -
