Halestorm , Heavens Basement , Zico Chain, @ The Garage, Glasgow, Scotland 23-9-12
Had the VIP meet n greet for this one. What a wise choice it was, as it was the busiest M&G of the tour with about 50 peeps! Without that, there would have been no way to get on front row. The band were very cool & talkative. Could already tell they are really down to earth friendly people. I managed to get Kristina on the first row also 😉 This was just a fantastic gig & the best one of the UK dates for me. Halestorm Rock !
The official lyric video of “Here’s To Us” included many concert photos. The first audience shot is actually from this very Glasgow show. I’m on front row (wearing Jagermeister top with orange stripes on arms) with Kristina next to me 🙂
Halestorm , Heavens Basement , Zico Chain, @ Rescue rooms, Nottingham 22-9-12
I feel so lucky to have seen Halestorm play this little venue. Remember folks, “You snooze & you lose”…so many peeps i know wanted tix for this,but, they were way too slow . This was a killer gig & as i just knew it was gonna be special, i filmed most of it 😉
Skunk Anansie, @ village underground, Shoreditch, London 5-9-12
This was the album launch gig, in a tiny venue. I met up with Rob & off we went for a pint. Along the way, we bumped into Cass who was doing some shopping, so had a wee chat 🙂 There were also some other Skunk regulars here such as Alex, Wendy, Theo etc. This was also the first time i met the lovely Sammy 🙂 There was quite a good turn out with the queue snaking around the place. Personally, i didn’t think the actual venue was all that brilliant, but, it didn’t really matter that much to me, as i was on the front row 😉 They started the show with “Tear The Place Up” . Took about 5 songs before we got the old classic ” Twisted (Every day hurts)”. That got the crowd well & truly bouncing around.
We then got the live debut of a brand new song, “This Is Not A Game”
The main set finished with the perfection that is “Charlie”…still my fave ever Skunk track. They slowed things down with an encore including “Hedonism” & then it was again balls out rocking with Skankheads.
A great night for sure. Would have been nice to hang around afterwards, but as i had work the next day & a 2 hour plus drive home, off i went.
