Still reeling from last night, such a great gig..... Black Spider Summer [...] Seriously... Summer? I am NEVER going to get to see this song performed live, living in Canada. haha. Damn, that's a fine setlist! I am superbly jealous of all of you who got to attend these shows! Ah you know when they played it I thought of you x

I'm going to aim to get to the Southampton Arms, 139 Highgate Road, London NW5 1LE, around 6.30 on Wednesday, and probably the same again on Thursday. Likely to be less rammed than the Brew Dog, and a lot cheaper. 6'5" overweight, bearded, crew cut, a passing resemblance to Aidan Moffat, wearing a blue Young Team t-shirt. May be carrying a Hardcore skateboard deck if I can be bothered a) to drag it into London and b) to hang around the stage door in the hope of getting it signed. Either way, I'm hard to miss.

Looking forward to updating my stats The problem was that as I was working in various places abroad for much of the middle of the decade and never in the right place for a show, I didn't see a single Mr Beast era gig. All the shows since then I've managed to pick ones where they didn't play it. The most annoying one was the 3 shows in Dublin in 2009 where I swapped my ticket for the night they played it (as I'd messed up with the date of my flight back to the UK) for a night they didn't

I've heard most of that little list live (44 songs in total). It looks like there's a good chance we'll hear Teenage Exorcists. The others I'd like to add to my list are Yes I Am A Long Way and MFMK. Looking at the setlists so far in 2015, I might be hearing Jim Morrison for the 7th (and 8th?) time in a row.

Sadly, I will be scurrying off for the 23:30 out of Euston. If MFMK or WNH are the last song, I might even forgo the noise ending to make sure I make it. Otherwise, given that I've got to be at work in Nuneaton at 8am, I might have a problem

yelobeli - I might well join you in the Soton Arms if I get the early train (4.53) down - went there before the Manics Holy Bible gig last December and it's a top pub. More likely though I'll end up on the 5.53 which wouldn't get me there much before 8.

I'm always at Mogwai gigs on my own so some company might be good for Thursday. Room for a small one?

So Dial:revenge got an outing tonight then. Yes - with Gruff Rhys on vocals. Another superb Mogwai gig. The band were really into it, and Stuart seemed positively radiant - smily and relatively chatty. The climax of We're No Here, Tracy and My Father My King was perfect. Having bought my ticket for last night relatively late in the day, I'd have kicked myself if I'd missed it.

Had a trawl through twitter this morning, looks like they really impressed a lot of 1st timers. Not a single bad word said. Can't wait for tonight!

(a) because it's a great setlist and I wish I'd seen it, and (b) because it omits a lot of stuff that's been played on this tour that I'm really hoping for tonight...

Did anyone who went last night spot if there was any anniversary tour merch (posters or the like)? I think they had stuff at the Glasgow gigs.

Kind of a pale blue in colour, I believe? There was also a 20th anniversary t-shirt for £25, done in a Star Wars arcade game vector graphic style, in the trench of the Death Star. I ended up buying one of these. Great gig, as usual!

Yes, poster titled 'Mogwai, 20th anniversary concerts, june 2015, glasgow barrowlands, london roundhouse' and selling for £15.
Plus T-shirts specific to the Roundhouse gigs and some other cool designs. All retailing at £25.
Also, a terrific freebie booklet 'Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Mogwai - An ATP season' produced by the Roundhouse.

Looks a great set from last night. Not sure where heading before the gig but if you see someone wearing a black ZU shirt with a machete on it, say hi.
