the only two songs that havent clicked for me yet are 'crossing the road material' and 'battered'..... seeing them live will probably do the trick- though, I hope they add 'dont believe the fife' to live sets...

simply amazing. maybe the best I've ever seen them. I'll try and do a proper post when my hearing recovers, but immediate thoughts:
- the guitarist they're touring with is fantastic - really gets into it, and covers John's parts faithfully and lets rip on the new stuff - the new stuff is consistently amazing live - the band seem to be having more fun than ever - they seem in a great place - the new room at the Brude is great, but a complete sweatbox! sound was immense and foundations thoroughly tested
Can't think of the full setlist but they started with Rano into Jim Morrison. New stuff was Party and Coolverine in that order which worked well. Old stuff was Helicon 1, Satan, Hunted. Other stuff included Remurdered. They then finished the main set with the new stuff - Crossing the road, Battered, Every Country's Sun, and Old POisons. I think in that order. It was fantastic, all the songs were great and the band were really tight. The touring guitarist got into it, Dom was laughing and rocking, Barry took the lead guitar on ECS which surprised me - didn't necessarily have it down as a Barry track (he definitely was on the guitar more than usual).
Such a good gig. and the screen print I bought is great too
BUZZING!!!

I've got a photo of the setlist but can't work out how to upload it from my phone
What a night. So good. I agree the new stuff sounds brilliant and loved them getting into it. It was intimate - during one respectful hush between songs I heard Barry sniff! So sorry Martin's leg cramp meant they couldn't do the planned encore of don't believe the fife and we're no here. Bumped into Stuart at the merch stall beforehand and got another signature for my hoodie and had a brill chat with Kenny afterward as usual. He said the brudenell got their carpenter to make a prop to allow the additional speakers to fit on the stage!
Aside from experiencing full body tingles in Jim Morrison my highlight was in the segue between Helicon1 and MFS when Dominic recognised me and OH in the crowd :-)

It was shame they didn't get to do the encore (hope Martin is ok!) but I actually thought it finished on a nice high and I wasn't sad to get outside!!

Lol! So did some lads behind me who then tried to resumed our pre-gig conversation and I shushed them! Impressed that Dominic recognised us from our chat back in 2014.
We're you right on the front? I was wearing my bl! badge but no one saw it. I did say hello afterwards to the fella with long hair and his girlfriend who Inrecognised from the barrowland shows.

Nope I was centre right and further back. Impressed with the new room and sound, the Brudenell really is one of the best venues in the country

200 miles from home on a work night. But worth it. Brudenell is a fabulous venue and the new room is a superb space. I laughed at Stuart's "Don't Mess With Yorkshire"t-shirt. Dom's beard is bigger and scarier than ever. I recognised a few familiar faces, but didn't spot any BL badges. I was the big bloke with a long grey beard and a Dropkick Murphys shirt. I gave up my usual spot next to Stuart's speaker in favour of standing directly behind the mixing desk - the sound was wonderful.

Oh wow, looks like a great show! Cannot wait for the NYC show!
What's the picture below the setlist above? It's sweet, hopefully they do something like that at all of the shows!
Also what are you all referring to with the BL tags? (I know BL is bright light but not sure what you're referring to)

It's a limited edition hand made screen print - in this case the picture is a street scene around the corner from the venue. Mogwai often commission prints to sell when they're on tour. I've got 4, but this is the nicest by far.

Good work Yelobeli. I was directly in front of the stage third row back, yes I loved the tshirt too. diallingrrevenge - the badges were some that a forum person (Rob?) sent out on request, though sadly I've never been identified by mine yet. They just say bl! on them like the webpage. The print is of the street where the brudenell social club is in Leeds. I couldn't face spending £20 on it and slightly regretting it now

I've only got one that I bought online as I missed the show (April 2009 Brooklyn) and the Atomic print that's signed by the guys. Would love another especially from a show I'll be at!

Would very much like to see/hear this album played live. I look forward to Mogwai visiting the Midlands at some point soon, hopefully as part of a proper UK tour.

Is it only the 2017 shows missing? If folks are still using the gigography, I'll see about getting the info added.

I second this...have spent a fair bit of time sifting through the gigography this last decade and would be great if it continued. I could help out too if needs be

Any chance of a BL! badge, Rob?! :-)

Gigography updates now complete, bar the two missing setlists for this year. I'm still dithering, still tempted by that poster.... I've had a scour of instagram and asked on the FB page about those sets but no joy yet sorry. Didn't get Maida Vale tickets, apparently there's an 80% allocation to London postcodes. Counting the days to Copenhagen now...
