- some audio mementos of the night for those who went. Crap quality but they trigger the synapses for me anyway - great gig!!
Came to it with a fresh pair of lugs, my first RH gig & thank goodness for that, listening to the jaded followers around the boards. Sure, there were arseholes who didn’t even know who they’d gone to see. Sure, we were caressed by a West coast wash. Sure there were selfish bastards with brollies who obscured the view. Poseurs, pissheads and other pissants. But the AV experience was top class!! I wasn’t in the middle at the front, yet I danced & grooved about no probs. I’d almost no queue to get in, arrived about 6-ish, had a coffee with my pal at Tollcross & waited for the crowds to die down a bit. We found a spot on the RH side of the stage, near the wheelchair viewing platform, where we’d a good view of the stage (until the brollies went up, at least!! Incidentally, was disgusted to see one C**T standing right in front of the viewing platform with large umbrella side up, blocking view of those least able to move. What a TWAT.). Not too keen on BFL, Bjork-like but doesn’t hit the spot for me I’m afraid. OK I s’pose (drum start to the last sounded like “Be My Baby”). RH tho’ were BOSS!! I’ve seen quite a few bands in various venues/locations now, and this was up with the best. 2+2=5 blew me away - no chemical high, but I felt like I was at 30 000 feet & my friend the same - just about down now, 2 days later, but still lug2lug thinking back
Walked back to Queen Street & train was just about to leave for Falkirk, we’d bought return tickets so nae bother, seats all the way home & can’t complain. A bit damp, but elated & it didn’t matter - was worth it for “Rain down, rain down….” etc.
Enjoy the sounds people!!
