My daughter and son in law are there tonight. They are both worried as a couple of friends walked out a couple of nights ago saying he was crap and nothing like the old Micky
He was a bit rusty tbh but was also quite aware of that and was a bit apologetic at the end (Leeds show). Still funnier than most though.
I went last night. Large queues getting in, but getting phone pouch unlocked at the end was quick. The phone pouch thing didn't really bother me.
I don't think he was as funny as previous tours. Was still decent though
Yeah, saw it similar. Was good with some very funny bits, but didn’t feel material was as strong as previous tours and equally didn’t think he was as polished in delivery. Seemed a bit nervous almost. Good night though.
The phone thing I just found a massive unecessary nonsense and just adds time on entry with them having to scan your tickets, then print you a ticket, then seal your phone.
So what was the phone thing all about? Never heard this before. It is to stop people filming him and protecting his material? Or is it down to stopping performances being interrupted by phones going off?

Both, but mainly to stop ppl fucking about on phones. It's becoming a normal thing, hopefully makes it's way to music venues too.

Ps. £8.50 for a Bud or Stella in a paper cup!
Yeah. I went to queue for a beer, saw the price & thought fuck that.

I've been to gigs where adults watch the entire gig through their held up phones.
It really doesn't look fun, also when are they going to watch it back? People film their weddings on pro gear and don't bother watching it back. So Ian Brown on an iPhone is just going to look and sound crap. That said, Ian Brown doesn’t need an iPhone to sound crap.
Not quite the same thing I know but when we went to see Bob Dylan at the Palladium they were doing this and it was excellent, no crappy glows of phones and all that. At Elton John last month (get me and my niche tastes) so many people were holding up phones in people's eyelines.
What is a good time to get there, when doors open or last minute. I am booked in a restaurant in Greenwich for 6pm, just wondered whether I need to bollock something down or just take it slow.

I saw a video last week, final tune at the final ever event at Printworks and there were literally 1000s of phones recording it. Times have definitely changed, in my rave days I couldn't even read the face of my own watch... would have had no chance of filming anything !

About 4 years ago, I was at a gig at Brixton academy and some twat was standing about 6 feet in front of me holding up a fucking ipad to film it. This went on for around 10 minutes until an expensive pint was sacrificed and launched at the tablet........from about 6 feet behind him. He got the message.

Totally worth it
Alternatively, accidentally on purpose, keep jumping into them until they stop.

really enjoyed the performance, but more importantly, really enjoyed a night out with my son.
