Saw the Foo Fighters tonight; best gig I have EVER seen, and I'm doing it all again tomorrow! They just get better every single time I see them, played loads of old stuff which is always great to hear (you would have loved it Andy, all the real heavy shit!) and as if that wasn't enough Brian May and Roger Taylor came on stage and played '39 from Queen's A Night At The Opera album. I'm not ashamed to admit that I actually started to cry at this point. You have to understand that I have been a Queen fan for 21 years (FUCK! That long?!) and have never seen them play live. Not only did I get to see half of them, but they played a song they rarely ever played, and a beautiful song at that. It was magical, totally magical. The seats we had were frankly unbelievable - I have never had such amazing seating for any band I've seen, we couldn't have been much closer to the stage, and you could see every expression on the bands face. It was wonderful. And there was no one in front if us - we were front row!
How will they top this? I'll find out tomorrow.
Oh - the o2 is an amazing venue, great sound, great views. Alas, getting home was a nightmare. We saw the ridiculously long queues for the tube and then decided to get the ferry. Waited nearly an hour in the freezing cold, and then couldn't get a nightbus. Ended up forking out 20 quid for a cab. Oh well. Nothing could spoil this night. :)
Truly, truly ossum...
