progtastic

well rush was a great gig, had a huge amount of fun watching three wonderful musicians going through their paces.
there were times when the sound was not up to scratch, the set listing was not what i wanted it to be, but i am sure that what i wanted from a set list from rush would have annoyed many others in the audience.
all in all it was a progtastic wig out.

i was amazed at the crowds reaction to neil peart's drum solo which verged on the orgasmic. and it was only topped by their almost ecstatic second coming greeting of YYZ, which is an instrumental. neither are particular favourites of mine.
i did get to see an air drummer - he was not as good as monty would have been.
but the audience was of the older variety so very little wig out air guitaring going on.

i had forgotten just how hot wembley can get.
i had also forgotten just how expensive the place was £1.70 for a small bottle of water - that's daylight robbery. that sort of thing should have them locked up and doing hard time.

next up on the planned gig list is rainbow rising a rainbow covers band and i am not sure if i want it to be good or just to be as bad as i expect it to be. we shall have to see.........
