Was really looking forward to it, played all their old classics- do not make the same misatake i did and go to the bar in the middle- i missed Blinded by the lights!!
Such a shame this is their last tour, would have loved to see them again.

What a brilliant night. Starting with the opening acts the Dubstep act Engine-EarZ Experiment was awesome but "brother" was a real let down... But mike skinner over shadowed both events by a mile. Although some of the crowd ruined it for other everyone had a brilliant night. Mike skinners amazing crowd surfing coupled with some of the best songs from his new album and previous tracks made this one of the best gigs i have ever attended.

This is going to be quite a short review. I've seen the streets 3 times throughout their (his) career and this time was by far the best. You can tell Mike Skinner wanted the Streets to go out with a bang. The setlist was a good mix of songs from all of his albums, I particularly enjoyed "It's too late" as I hadn't seen him play this one before and it was a nice surprise.

The cacophony of Skinners loquacious libretto resonates the eardrums like God took E back in 2001 and didn't look back. The Streets well and truly floored it at the Manchester Academy. From the opening of 'Outside Inside' to the conclusion 'Going Through Hell', the crowd went absolutely manic as the set list was stacked with the archetypal Streets sound that has dominated urban originality for so long. Peppered with new material that is sure to become the latest in the line of contemporary classics produced by The Streets - the evening is basically new beats, old beats and similar situations. The only complaint throughout is the unfamiliar sound of Rob Harvey currently on loan from The Music; but, this is only a minor dent on the evening, which eventually gets drowned out by an emotional Skinner who reflects on his time at the top. Thanking the crowd for supporting him for the last 10 years, Skinner sounds defeatist as, in his own words, he feels he can't relate to The Streets anymore. 'The Irony Of It All' though is somewhat frustrating as immediately after this brief sentimentality, in drops 'Blinded By The Lights' as a fitting crescendo/ gut wrenching reminder of what we shall miss if it all ends. Throughout the entire performance a "wave of people all equal" raise their lighters, hands and somewhat overly priced cans in the air as the beats reverberate over the dance floor to the sound of football fan style chanting of famous lines over those timeless synthetics that define The Streets. If there never is to be a "sequel to this evening" it doesn't make sense at all; Skinner does nothing more than whet the appetite for more rather than end on a high. As the big lights come on and the actuality of reality hits - I find myself wanting to give Skinner's head a wobble telling him 'Don't Mug Yourself' by quitting, but ultimately, 'It's Too Late' and despite exiting Manchester's Student Union with a buzz akin to 10 000 volts of electricity; I can't help but hear the soft murmur of 'dry your eyes, mate' at the back of my mind as it dawns on me "it's the end of something I did not want to end".

This has got to be one of the best gigs i have been to and it will be one that will always stick in my head!

The last tour for the last album has done every streets fan proud the album is just great and the gig was just simply amazing! The new stuff went down just aswell as the classics!

It's sad to think that there might not ever be another streets tour or album but it's good to know that he's ending on a high and with an epic album.

If there was the possibilty of another tour or even an album in years to come?! i will deffo be first in line to get tickets!

Just Amazing
The Streets - done themselves proud!

This gig was absolutely amazing, Mike was on top form and it obviously meant a lot to him, the gig obviously meant a lot to most there as we all knew it was the end.

Awesome gig atmosphere was ridiculously good, crowd surfing and his other specialties definitely worth the money.

Nestled in the heart of Birmingham stands the O2 Academy, where on a rainy Friday night Mike Skinner and Co took to the stage to bid farewell
to their home crowd. Earlier this year Skinner announced his retirement by saying, 'I haven’t really got anything more to do”, placing a 'closed'
sign on his bands' website, and announcing that the Computer and Blues tour was due to be their final one. With this news in mind fans flocked to
the O2 to bid farewell to their Birmingham born hero. It was set to be a big night! And big it was!

As heavy rain fell outside, three thousand plus Streets fans created a scene that could have been lifted from one of Skinner's music videos. Security
looked uneasy and twitchy as they faced a generation of individuals stiffled by their country's recession and wanting nothing more than to just
forget everything and have a good Friday night, no holds barred. The warning sign 'Crowd surfing and throwing objects will get you thrown out' was
ignored as Skinner took to the stage and the music base shook the very foundations of the corporate sponsored venue.

Skinner had the crowd in the middle of his sweaty palm for the whole show. As old Streets classics pumped out mosh pits formed, eyes fell closed,
jaws fell open and a young stage invader gained his 15 seconds of fame. Crowd surfers flew over heads and fights happened as Skinner reminded
fans to love one another and challenged anyone who had a problem with that to fight him. Fans were reminded of old classics, such as 'Dry Your
Eyes' and 'Fit But You Know It', the songs of a generation that had encouraged hangovers and helped their broken hearts heal.

In 'Weak Become Heroes' Skinner name-checked his music inspirations, and fans offered thanks to Skinner by singing his songs back to him
at a volume that could make eyes run. The show was closed with Skinner telling the crowd that he felt emotional and in the blink of an eye he was gone.
Never to return? Who knows. He may never be back, but quite frankly there may be no need for him to return. He has left behind the music of a
generation and massacred everyone with his rhymes and lyrics. Job done.
