At the weekend I went to my second ever gig - yes, sad isn't it that at over 30 I've only been to two gigs, but the first was the U2 Vertigo tour and the second was The Eagles, Long Road Out Of Eden so I've done pretty well!
I'm no pop aficionado so I'll refrain from writing a review and let you Google those yourself. However, I will say that if you are an Eagles fan, you would love it... And if you don't like the Eagles, then you've just saved yourself a lot of money!
I will, however, pass on some of my pet annoyances, again highlighting why I dislike the 'general public' -
I don't mind people tapping along, or singing to the songs - in fact, it's positively expected. But I do really get pissed off when the person next to me has no sense of rhythm and is determined to use my seat for his own personal tympani section. Oh, and he couldn't sing, but boy, did he have gusto! When he wasn't playing a 300 piece drum kit, he was doing air guitar - to all the guitars simultaneously! I think I've just identified the first ever case of musical tourettes!
Well, it was entertaining I guess, and didn't distract from the occasion too much...
