[morag]

as no one else has mentioned anything about this gig yet....i thought i would..



.....well it was just amazing!!!

I've seen the Kings many times, over many many years now, and i have to say this is one of the best gigs i have seen. To see your favourite band fill a stadiu is just an incredible moment!!

Set was great, a lot shorter than the rest of the tour, but i understand that was something to do with delays on their flights (i think they should have set off to get their earlier). Though Caleb did what he could to fit as many songs in.

He even decided to skip the encore!! woo!!! I get sick of encores now. and instead they played more tracks!

Ended with use Somebody, SoF and then Black thumbnail.

Loved the 3 old tracks as openers!!! fantastic moment.

and you know what is even better....everyone sang to every song....event the old ones

(though im not a fan with a chip on their shoulder over SoF, i love that song, and love it played live....the atmosphere. gosh!!)

down points - probably the apparent bad organisation in the venue.....however i never experienced this.

I went with my mum, that was her 5th kings gig i think (my 10th) she loves them too! So we wern't right to the front, but the stage set up looked great...fantastic lights

and fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I luckily was stood in a fab place, plenty merry people, no crazy drunks, no fights, no pushing and shooving, everyone sang....

ah it was just incredible

i hope everyone else is enjoying the kings on this tour...they are really just incredible now, and im so glad ive got to experience gigs spanning the majority of their career.


now just for the Edinburgh Talihina Sky Premier on Sat!!! excted even more....and they will be there!! eek!

Finally an old fan who still enjoys them. Glad you and your mum had a great time! Are you taking her along to the premiere on Saturday? Have fun there too!

[morag]

Yeah my mum and my other half are joining me for the premier on sat...he's not much of a fan, I hope he gets converted! Haha

Its a shame there's not so many people about here any more.
