Fucking I had just bought a round in tuts as well! I want that refunded. I had phoned king tuts while waiting in the rain and they said "its gonna be moved to abc 2" So we all started trekking off there and it was only luck tha we saw a massive group of folk round the back, then ryan and roadies told us its at the admiral.

You knew that without a barrier as soon as a song that everyone knew came on it would be carnage and fucking was, never seen so many ppl down at a gig and when no one could get up ppl started to panic. Was sure it would be cancelled properly, but credit to whoever thought of sitting down, Genius.

I feel sorry for the people who went home and that, but looking about the place it seemed there was more people than at tuts. Was certainly an expeirence watching the cribs sitting down. I didnt follow benchilds advice and take my proper camera so only got crappy phone vids which i'll upload later if its worth it

[Napoleon_D]

also I don't know what they are gonna do about refunds and that, because are the people who saw them in the admiral still entitled to get one? I'm sure there will be loads of fly people trying mind you?

they can't prove anyone did or didn't go (unless they can connect your posting here with your attendance), and in any case, the gig at their venue WAS cancelled, the thing that happened seems like a makeshift thing to make up for it.

So, frankly, they owe everyone.

nah its ace you do right

escobar tomorrow is going to be absolutely mental

unless they put a barier there i think it could turn out quite scary to be honest

[stylishkidintheriot]

Dont see anyone else getting really excited on here so....

Seeing the cribs sitting down on a function room floor. I loved it. Fair enough a gig at tuts would have been mental and its pretty annoying it never happened. Burst pipe? Health and safety gone mad. But that was something I have never experienced and probably never will again.

Normally I dont see anything of a band at a gig so watching them play as they normally would was pretty special. Loved it when everyone jumped up for mirror kisses, they stopped and ryan went 'right, everyone sit the fuck down'. In a flash everyone was on their arses again. Brilliant.

I have to agree with those on here who like me thought “this is never going to work!!” There was no bouncers / security to note of, no real stage, no barrier and some of the speakers seemed to be balancing on tables, and it was a disaster, but what do you expect when people have waited for hours to hear The Cribs, they were always going to go mental.

However, fair play to The Cribs for at least having a go, and fair play to the crowd for, ‘sitting on there arses” as Ryan put it. I have to say that at times it felt like the school assembly hall as everyone sat there on the floor, legs crossed singing along. As ridiculous as it was, I have to agree with someone else who said it was a great way of actually watching the band do what they do, even if at times they could hardly keep the smile of there face as they looked down on the crowd.

So in amongst some hairy moments there were a few moments for humour. Now I’m not condoning ‘theft’ and it did spoil it as Ryan and Gary had to share the only decent microphone that they had, but, during all the pushing and shoving some arse nicked Ryan’s mic. The funny part (now remember we’re sitting like school children at assembly here) was when Ryan the headmaster said “come on you lot, who’s nicked my mic, I know it was someone in this room, cause it was there a minute ago and now it’s gone, so come on, give it back” at which point everyone sat there with a “it wasn’t us” look on their faces.

What an experience! A bit pissed off about the fact we only heard 2? new songs though...last night was probably even more mental than that gig at T where they had to get off the stage cause of the invasion/ lights falling down at Queens hall

was hilarious when everyone went into the admiral. these blokes are just sittin there as every1 piled in thinking what the fuck is going on?

managed to get a few videos- even the one where Ryan asks everyone to sit the fuck down in mirror kissers. classic.

also, if anyone's interested, Bob Hardy from Franz says the new album is going to be "fucking cool" and compared to the last one it will be "different". talkative bloke he was

what a moment when everyone started booing that annying lassie who half died...had she shut up a bit earlier we could have probably got another song in.

what's the deal with a rescheduled gig/ refunds? cause although it was pretty memorable it wasnae tuts and my mate and I had paid for tickets for cavin harris afterwards....which we missed

[DasBeef]

Ha ha! That was the weirdest gig ever. It was like having the Cribs play at a birthday party or summit! The stage with no barrier was never going to work if everyone was jumping about! But there was chaos, and it was resolved.
Other stories from the night...
The boy that was videoing the gig interviewed me. I got all nervous, talked shit, and ran away. I wasn't even drinking last night!

I ended up with 2 spare tickets. I told the boy on the door of Tuts that I had them, and was looking to pass them on. He sent these 2 girls over, and I told them I had 2 tickets. When they asked how much I wanted for them I said £25. (They were £12.50 each, so £25 in total for 2) One of them replied "We'll give you £20 each!?". Ha ha! Everyone thinks you're out to rip them off. Fucking touts! I think they were shocked when after their generous offer, I still sold them the tickets for £25 for both.

[Napoleon_D]

that ross pic is class. Yeah I certainly doubt I'll have many more memorable gigs, ticketmaster site says for any refund you have to send your tickets back to an address etc. I just phoned tuts and they said they weren't sure yet, but you should be able to get refunds for anyone that couldn't attend and they still haven't fixed the leak.

[benchild]

double fantastic with sprinkles - looks like a chaotic night

[mechanical animal]

besides all the waiting in the rain and all that jazz, i really enjoyed that gig! totally loved just sitting on the shitty ground not giving a fuck and just having a good time! hopefully this will be on one of the vcasts due to that camera man being there.

That would be the best birthday party ever. They should consider it.
