The Tramshed is packed to the rafters on Bank Holiday Monday. The boys are playing their third show in as many nights (the Barrow posse having clocked up over 600 miles so far) and Alan's drumkit is very, VERY LOUD!
doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof
Seriously, I went to the loo during Faithfully and thought the place was coming down; the walls start shakin', the earth was quakin', my mind was achin'...
Well, the plumbing was rattling in sympathy anyway...
So, brief (sorry, I'm busy!) highlights of the night;
(i) BLUE COLLAR HEADBANGERS! During Blue Collar Man, there were a dozen or so people lining the staircase, heads nodding merrily. I've never seen anyone headbang to Styx; maybe time to add some Quo to the Tramshed set?
(ii) NEW SONG! No, not the Howard Jones track (though that was good - hey, I'm an eighties kinda guy!) - Whitesnake's Fool For You Loving. You'd guess Big Dave would take the vocal and you'd be right - bloody good it was too (I still want to hear him sing Still of the Night, though). Good choice, good interpretation; a future set fixture is born, I'm betting.
(iii) EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! Y'know that pillar in the middle of the stage? It was fairly inevitable that someone, someday, would indulge in a bit of pole dancing, wasn't it? How come it was a BLOKE? And a bloke in a HAWAIIAN SHIRT at that? Only at a Jaggie show...
Oh yeah, the Blackpool squad were in town and wee Jo did her usual cracking job on Sweet Child...
On the whole, another good night out.
Did I mention that Alan's drums were very, VERY LOUD?
doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof - doof
