The Co-op Live, next to the Etihad.

£50? Did you park on the stage??

And you got to sit on Dave Grohl's lap for the entire set.........

Slight mis-use of thread but hey ho.

I went to the Co-op last night for Liam's Definitely Maybe outputs - Key takeaways as follows (yes, I like the album);

- Venue is absolutely terrific in the arena bit. The acoustics of the place are absolutely brilliant!
- Exactly what you would expect from Liam - terrific nights entertainment, absolutely loved re-living an album that I adore (I would have been about 8 when this came out)
- Beer is was overpriced even if it is Asahi (which they also ran out of)
- Bar staff must be recycled from the Etihad as it took an absolute fucking age to get served
- Can't remember the names (fucking terrible with names at the best of times) of the blokes that I met last night stood behind us in the stand - true gentlemen, nice to meet you and hope you enjoyed my singing

All in all me and my mate had a fucking blast...............View attachment 123631

Put this in another thread the other night for what it's worth........

Up in the gods, but at least I'm here...

What time is scruffy Liam starting...? This Villanelle are bobbins.

You lucked out with that then - had Cast supporting the night before.

Still sound good to be fair to them...........

James and Liam done there now both brilliant as was the venue took a rag and you could see the envy in his eyes which made it even sweeter

Cast were on after Villanelle. They were really good, much better than I expected tbh!

Really enjoyable night, the venue is superb to be honest, the issues with pricing of food and drink is the same everywhere now so I don't let it bother me personally, had a few in the pub beforehand and bought a couple of overpriced cans of Grolsch, rather than queuing for ages we just served ourselves at the fast food chicken thing from the fridges, saw so many just putting cans in their pockets the staff didn't seem to give a shit but I'm not a thief.

Seen Liam 3 times this year and he doesn't fail to put on a performance every time.

Think my tickets in December are 307. Is that very close to where you are? Do you feel as far away as very back of AO arena?

We were in 307, row 18. Seems a long way from the stage but the screens help! The sound was absolutely exceptional and the atmosphere great.

Long distance viewing is the price most of us pay for these places. Just enjoy being there!

Ah - must have been in too late for that particular treat........

£50? Did you park on the stage??

For that price, I should have been parked at the side of the stage. No such luck though. East Car Park, at Old Scaffold.

Which meant I had to walk through a tunnel, under Mordor and then down some side streets, to get to where I needed to be. Not so bad for me, but my missus has MS and has to walk with sticks, so I am no longer top of her Christmas Card List

Yes, I paid £25, for parking. Tried to console myself with the fact it cost me £50 to park at Old Shithole, when I went to see the Foo Fighters, the other week.

Now that was a fucking rip off. Took ages to walk to the cricket ground too.

Did that include a service?
