Second show ruled, y'all.
Met up with Tania and her two fellas before the show and chatted with them for about an hour or so. Met up with the Drunken Wizard who was awesome. Then I popped down to my spot on the gold floor - so much better than the previous night in silver. Managed to skip Lauren and BCE.
It's probably because I was amid more rabid fans, but I thought the crowd was much better than Saturday night. There was an old school metalhead standing right near me who kept putting his arm around everyone and singing along, but he disappeared after Can I Play With Madness. I got some good photos (nothing too great) that I'll show you later, including a nice one of Adrian, but there's a big red line through it which is a real shame. If I zoomed in then the photos would turn out blurry, so the only decent ones are long shots.
Setlist was the same as Saturday night, of course.
Best weekend ever! A shame I had nothing to do in between gigs, but that's Olympic Park for you.
OH! And when I was at the airport this morning checking in I saw Ed Force One taxiing along the runway thing! I was in line and happened to look out the huge windows behind the desk and there it was minding its own business. Great way to end a great trip.
Noticed when I got home that the Live After Death shirt, while an XL, is actually smaller than the other XL's. Different manufacturer, like. That's a shame. It still fits, but not very well.
Them Bridgeman boys are a good breed
It was a very entertaining preshow get-together I have to say. Being at our very own "Robbie Johns half hour" special with the Chopper Reid clone befriending us was one highlight...
But oh my god, I am still flying after that show last night. I woke this morning feeling like it all must have been a dream. It's such a pleasure to see this band who are in just as fine form, if not better than I assume they would have been 20 years ago. I was completely blown away and it was so special to be there with my boy as he experienced his first live concert. How can that ever be topped?!
