Sorry for delay,Caroline just came on the radio, so it prompted me.
We knew Friday the Milan gig was cancelled and we thought, oh dear that's a shame
Off to Zurich from Heathrow on the worlds best airline,,ryanairbucketflights,,,,,,nah, good old BA. Stayed at the Marriott Courtyard Hotel, which is only
a 10 minute walk from the venue. Stayed here 2 years ago for the Quo gig, met some nice people from Ireland andymac and his wife,still keep in touch
and have met up at gigs. I am padding this out do you think ?
So, off to the Hallestadion , didn't watch the support, had a few beers with the model on glasses of champagne,,,,,we know how to live.
Made our way in and down to the front, well as close as we could. Country Girl, then the Drone, on came the band to a massive cheer, then
straight into Caroline, never fails to make us smile, its like a lift, Paper Plane, next, well you know the rest. Wild Side of Life in the medley was more or
less a full version, i like that one. They are top showman and they know what the audience want and how to give it and at the same time enjoying it
themselves.
I know i have said before but they are on fire, Francis trying to wind Rhino up by putting his leg up behind him and touching his foot, but Rhino didn't bite.
The fellas on that stage are just enjoying themselves and it just spreads to the audience. Francis, apart from his normal bits and pieces, said to the
audience, it's great you keep coming, as long as you do, we will, and we are.
Drum solo, Down Down, Whatever you Want and Rocking All Over The World, the crowd were bouncing all over the place, fantastic. A short encore
which seems the way of things, then it's bye bye.
To us it looked close to being sold out, floor level all standing, which we like, then seats all round. On the way out flyers given out for September 2015.
It would be rude not to go back to the hotel beer and champagne. Talking to the hotel manager, he reckons the venue holds 15,000 !!
Next day flight to Milan, at the airport a chap come up to me patted me on the back," how are you curly, the gig's cancelled", i think he is from Sweden.
Pissing down, done a bit of sightseeing, nice meal at night, back home early evening, flight delayed 2 hours.
Still a great weekend, We always enjoy ourselves when we go away,,,i think loves got a bit to do with it
ENJOY LIFE
