The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Anthony Kiedis and Flea.... ring any bells?

Tuesday night saw about 10 000 people heading out to Earls Court Areana to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Usually you're expecting someone like the peppers to have a fairly well known support act. For our night it was !!! Google's archnemisis...
Standing around having a beer and waiting for the show to start.... and then the lights went out and the cheering started. Heading back inside we saw the support act had taken to the stage... 9 of them... 2 lead singers, 4 people on the drums, 2 guitarists and one random rolling around on the floor... Honestly if you ever get the chance to see !!! otherwise known as pitchfork... RUN... it's probably the worst act i've seen in years... nothing but pure noise.... voted chav band of the year.

And then came the peppers. The stage didn't look like much and we were trying to find monitors but then they started and the stage lit up

















Unfortunately my little camera on my phone isn't brilliant, but you get the basic idea.
It was an amazing concert, the played just about everything that I was hoping for... except for Soul to Squeeze. I would definately recommend going to see them if you ever get the chance.

On leaving it was clear that there was going to be a shortage of train space for all of the people.... we walked out the front doors and the tube station is directly over the road... you just saw people running at full tilt trying to get to the tubes and the police standing by not really being able to do anything... luckily for us we could head to West Brom station and catch the overland from there... not quite as crowded

All that's left for this year are the Rolling Stones... i don't think we've done too badly... would have liked to see Dave Matthews band... but that'll have to wait till next time he's here.
