I was at the 2nd Manchester gig. It was an honour and a great thrill. I too missed out on them first time round, being quite young and only really getting into them too late in the 1980s. I put on any of the albums any time I want to cheer myself up, and it was just fantastic to hear them live. And they certainly didn't fuck about with the arrangements, so it was like listening to a great DJ selecting only Magazine tracks, and the DJ was singing along, and the DJ was Howard Devoto.
The gig I was at was being filmed quite seriously, with one of those sweeping airborne cameras on a long boom, so look forward to a DVD release of a great gig.
Only quibble, the 2nd encore was an obscure and untuneful track when I was yearning for Philidelphia. But perhaps that was to dampen the enthusisasm a bit. The crowd were ecstatic by the end. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. PLEASE PLAY GLASTONBURY!
