My first gig since Reading 2007, it's been too long. It was a fun night, everyone loves a bit of moshing about. One of the warm up bands was Johnny Foreigner, who played a couple of songs that sounded like the BBC Blue Planet theme song. Sufficer to say they were good.
But then The Subways were about to come on. And as I pushed my way through the crowd to the front, someone muttered "tosser!" That's bloody uptight Brighton folk for you! The Subways started. Once I'd got reasonably close and found one of my fellow moshing mates I was having fun. Now I don't know much of The Subways repertoire, but that didn't dampen the experience in any way.
They put a great rock and roll set. By the second half I was at the front, which was awesome. I got loads of good photos and a couple of videos. And just when I was thinking why the hell haven't they played Rock And Roll Queen they closed the set with it! Billy (lead singer) crowd surfed and everyone was happy. Go on Subways you legends!
A few pounds lighter*,
a few decibels deafer,
and a few beer's drunker,
that's value for money in my book.
*from all the sweating
