Having got in to the Academy at about 10.45pm, we managed to find a lot of space at the front just to the right hand side of centre stage. I thought Sliver Columns and Applebim weren't too bad actually.
As midnight approached, it got a bit busier around us but not mobbed and no spaced out dickheads at all, just a group of Italians who were just slightly annoying.

Anyway, I thought the gig was just simply awesome. Had lower expectations than previous gigs because knew what they were going to play next, but I was blown away, much more than at the iTunes gig.
I agree completely with whatmakesustick about Bird1, and Diamond Jigsaw is not my favourite, but others around us seemed to really enjoy it.
Had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when Dirty Epic started, but just wished they had enough time to squeeze in Pearl's Girl as a final encore.

Really looking forward to heading up to Manchester on Thursday! Bring it on!!
