Well this was a belter. Walk in the venue through the backdoor and there's people milling about, not much going on. Soundcheck starts, mainly drums and a few vocals, bit of guitar played by the tour staff. Then the whole band rock up and play two songs start to finish, to me and a handful of tech staff from the tour and the venue. Incredible scenes. Managed to speak to the lead vocalist, could hardly get my words out but managed to tell him how much the band meant to me.
Show was great, got put on my arse within 5 seconds of being in the pit but quickly got picked up (always remember the first rule of the moshpit kids), crowdsurfed, the lot. Just hope it's not another 4 years until I see them again!
