Amazing final gig at Brixton last night.
I know they've got their haters on here but rarely have I seen a crowd get so into the songs as a Carter crowd does. I did get kicked in the head and stamped on a few times.....I'm really going to miss that mosh pit.?
Was there, it was great. They'll be back, they enjoy those shows too much not to surely?
Twenty-three and a bit years earlier...

(wanders off to find the Steve Lemacq special)
Saw a guy a couple of weeks ago with a massive Carter logo tattooed down his forearm. I'm guessing he quite liked them.
Back home now, absolutely knackered, mosh pit was insane. Even the moshing to the back ground music before they took to the stage was pretty heavy.
Personally I reckon that was the last of Carter, any lingering doubt I had was extinguished with the passing of John Fatbeast. Not a view shared with some of my mates who think we'll be doing it all again very soon.
Sad I couldn't go, massive Carter fan since 1989 when I got 101 Damnations on vinyl (first release on Big Cat), saw them all over, again at Barrowlands in 2007 and Leeds in 2012.
Made up for it last night by playing their albums and passing the love on to the next generation, the mosh was more of a 'bundle'! Was a strange night, felt happy and sad at the same time. Jealous I wasn't there, glad it was good!

saw them couple of times at think it was Leeds Uni around 1990 think they've done a few final gigs since then
would rate their encore of "this is what it is like to lonely" as a standout
have a vague recollection that in the 90's the TDF TV coverage used Fat Bastard (before the lyrics bit) as soundtrack to the highlights??
Even after 6 goodbyes the gist from listening to their latest interviews was that this was it finally finishing. Gutted I didn't manage any of the more recent gigs and especially this weekend.
(Wonders if the missus in bed would mind some carter being played)
Surfing USM was used for Tour of Britain.
Fruitbat is a big cycling fan and his current band names after a tour rider.
They'll be back 'cos they're attention whores.
Has any band ever had more "final" gigs?
The gigs may have stopped, but the music is till with us! I can remember my first Carter at Brixton Academy gig and having ringing in my ears for a long, long time. Dream the impossible dream..
Just back myself, went down to that london for both nights, couldn't really be anywhere else... Bloomin brilliant, never known anything else really quite like em. They might well be back, I'll be there too- I'll take the piss mind
Also, "And God Created Brixton"! I got into Carter after their appeal became more selective, on the Dave tour and I just took it for granted that these reform things would never have a song after 95, so that was awesome, what a tune.
Goodnight jimbob!

"Do it Fruitbat"
Has any band ever had more "final" gigs?
The Wildhearts have knocked it on the head quite a few times over the years, not sure they're up to Carter's level though?
Jane's Addiction have split up, depending on who you listen to, anywhere between three and six times.
And the obvious: Status Quo, The Who etc that always get mentioned on this subject.
I might have to seriously consider becoming a roadie just so I can get that jersey.
Can someone do a '101 Damnations' baggy mountain bike top please?
If you

It's not true

Ah but christ
You've got nothing to lose
And we've got £70 to gain
The Wildhearts don't do final gigs, they just do bazillions of reforms.
Nine Inch Nails did a world farewell tour and then just slunk back into the room as if nothing had happened.
Fruitbat has joined Ferocious Dog - saw them play at a mates birthday party a few months ago. They are a Celtic folk/punk band with political overtones to many of their lyrics. I liked them.
FD are amazing. Mainstay of smaller festivals, and with album no2 coming out next year we will hear more of them.
I have Dogfest tickets for next week....
