RE: The Gig Was Great

in Music2 months ago

They are all bands I have heard of, but I only know the odd song by them. I think Wheels of Steel was the big hit for Saxon. I used to listen to the Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance on Radio 1 back in the day and you would hear this stuff. The metal scene has changed since then.

I expect there was a lot of denim and leather in the crowd and probably lots of patches on jackets. Was it mostly older guys? These bands are getting old and may not have many gigs left in them.

Rock on!

Oh, tons of denim and leather, and a hell of a lot of patches, a lot of throwbacks from the 80s haha, it was great to see it, there seemed to be people from every village and town in the country.

No, there was a decent mix of older and younger people there. Plenty of long gray hair, but they were all rocking out and enjoying themselves. Yeah, the lead singer of Uriah Heep mentioned at the start of the set that between them they've got 154 of rocking out. Fairplay to them, they still got it.

My friend @hockney went to the Wembley show. He's not active on Hive these days, but I saw him say elsewhere that he enjoyed the nostalgia. He goes to a lot of gigs.
