i was on the balcony in the odeon and i was banging and going mental with everyone else when i stopped for a breather halfway through one of the songs. the balcony was bouncing under my feet, really bouncing up and down. enough to make me think that this wasn't the safest place to be in the building, then i thought of the poor muppets directly beneath me under all that concrete and steel being tested almost to destruction...and just carried on. fuck em eh? x

and why is it that Nazareth never refer to 'may the sunshine bright' in interviews or anything cos that song was the best thing they wrote by far. whadda chorus and whadda fucking verse, man whadda fucking great 'eavy summer number !


I was in the back row of the circle for that one and yes it really did feel that the whole place was coming down around our ears. Funnily enough about 30 years later I took my daughter to see Green Day at Hammy Odeon and once again we were in the back row and I had that same sinking feeling all over again as the balcony bounced under our feet. You don't get that at the fucking O2!

At school I hated Queen and Wishbine Ash with that horrible clean double tracked guitar sound and prissy drumming so Quo, Hawkwind, Heep and the Sabs were the natural escape route from all that. They were the anti Queen who really were shit at being a hard rock band but with a really great hard rock lead singer.
