Bring Me The Horizon played the new ‘Repented’ version of their 2006 debut ‘Count Your Blessings’ in full in Manchester last night – check out footage below.
Back in April, the Sheffield band confirmed Monday that they’d be playing their debut album in full at Manchester’s BEC Arena on July 10. Billed as ‘Outbreak Presents: Count Your Blessings | Repented’, the gig was designed to “reactivate” the record rather than just lean on nostalgia.
Having promised to be a “defining moment for a generation of fans, both those who were there at the beginning and those discovering it now”, Oli Sykes dusted off his signature scream and played several tracks that haven’t had a live outing in over a decade.
As well as playing recently dropped ‘Dehumanized’ live for the first time ever, they played ‘Slow Dance’ live for the first time since 2006, as well as ‘Black & Blue’, ‘Tell Slater Not to Wash His Dick’ and ‘A Lot Like Vegas’, all of which haven’t had a live outing since 2009.
Taking to social media after the gig, fans said they were “bringing back the golden era”, with another saying: “Watching last night’s set was a generational full circle moment.”
