Was 4 rows, from the front slap band in the middle. What a fantastic night. As great as the Riverside is Tom should be packing out arenas. Thanks for pasting.
Yeah I agree he should be going bigger, maybe he will in time , he's not getting any promotional help by radio companies etc and doing all the promotional stuff through his management team , hopefully things do go bigger for him , he's doing fine atm though
No i didn't record in-between the songs , wish I did though as after would you mind it concerned me how bitter he still is with either kasabian or others, he needs to let go or he's gonna make himself ill , great gig though and I did every song but only a couple full length
@@Stephentoutdoorsthanks for the video! you probably just don't understand what really happened and what's been going on for years, that's why you're saying he needs to let go or that he's bitter. no, it's a huge trauma that can never be fixed. maybe you're music fans and don't really know much about the band and everything that happened, but that's what grief really looks like to him. he gave his whole life to this band, allowed them to do everything, even to his own detriment. they tortured him and he lived to despair because he couldn't leave his tormentors earlier. and now they've taken his place and are pretending he never existed. isn't this another form of abuse they continue to torture him with? i feel really sorry for tom. don't tell him he just needs to let go. if you were in his shoes, you'd be told that...are you going through grief? Just let it go! ✨ yeah
@@Mara-c1j I love Tom - and have supported him at several solo gigs, but let's not gloss over his part in his sacking. It's not just the band - he F'd up at the height of the Me Too movement and was essentially removed from the entire public consciousness. He seems to have atoned for his sins and Vicky has forgiven him - but let's not pretend it didn't happen either, regardless of the reasons that may have put him in that state.
@@CMB81-t9x I never pretend there wasn't a "good reason", you shouldn't gloss over all the sh!t this band has done to him over the years. that's all. they are to blame for his terrible condition over the years, and he is most to blame for not starting a solo career before he got to the point of despair, because then none of this would have happened, he wouldn't have had to live with depression for years. he trusted these people more than himself, allowing them to do whatever they wanted, even if it harmed him. His personal life didn't bother you when he openly said he was having a hard time, but you saw what happened and decided to make a different example out of him. His family forgave him, he got help, it's nobody else's business. Don't forget or cross out many other things. It's his band too, he put his life into it, and if you think they put as much into it, look at how defining Tom's work has been from the beginning. He works with an audience from 1 person to 100,000 people, and how well he works define how many people come back to the band. they can't work with him? Fine. Close the band and start from scratch because the difference between a failed soccer player, an office worker, a drummer from Bristol and Kasabian is Tom Meighan. They've had so many different choices over nearly 10 years, but they'll never admit they fuсkеd up in every single one of them. "We had no choice" poor things. They had and more than one.
@@Mara-c1j I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I'll point out that Kasabian is still selling out arenas and playing to tens of thousands of people while Tom can't sell out tiny venues on occasion. So for better or worse the public that supported the band also abandoned him, not just his bandmates. The media will not cover anything he's doing either. I think it's sad and unfair, but it's indicative of what would have happened to the band had he been allowed to stay.

Thanks for sharing, it was amazing! By any chance did you record the full show including Tom's comments? I'd love to have the complete experience ha

Barnsley was mad. He was on form ❄️. Defo more pumped that this one.
