Well, what can I say? After waiting so long to see them, pretty much 5 years by my calculations, I was not dissapointed
An excellent excellent evening all round. Managed to get relatively close to the front, and wasn't too fussed with the extraordinarily tall people stood at the front, I wasn't photographing or videoing it, so grateful hugely for those that did. I did infact see a certain Ester Segarra (gig photographer) entering the venue and then saw her taking photos in the photo pit (now I know she normally photographs for the likes of Terrorizer and Metal Hammer magazines, but I can only assume she was taking photos for Classic Rock Prog, with it being the same publisher as Metal Hammer, as I can't really see it being page-fodder for the afore mentioned mags), so will be keeping an eye out in future issues. I didn't meet anyone from here, but managed to drag two non-Frost*-familiars with me who thankfully also thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the Brummie speak & spell, pure genius, & have watch the YouTube too many times to mention today, and I think I shall cherish my first live experience of Hyperventilate & BLM for the rest of my days
The venue, I thought, was beautiful, and had hilarious fun trying to find the upper floors & ended up in the glassed off area for It Bites. The bar situation was crazy, and the bar prices typically London, but only minor gripes, and didn't mar the evening one bit. So, bring on the next gig, that's all I can say!
