The Alarm were fantastic! Mike Peters and the band were on top form, it was a fast paced set that included the anthemic classics, 68 Guns, Blaze of Glory, The Spirit of 76 and Where were you hiding when the Storm broke? I'd have really enjoyed the gig regardless but the major nostalgia element was deeply wonderful ..... connecting to first hearing them as a teenager back in the day.
I was on the front row (this photo didn't use 'zoom') and hence emerged from the concert happily hoarse and partially deaf .... but feeling fanatstic.
.... The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But I remember this much
I love as I've been loved myself.
Don't forget what I told you now
When the question keeps on coming
And it's How much more can you take
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
Shouldn't you be gone by now
But you keep on
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Setting your sights for the sky.
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold.
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
No price is high enough
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love
When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH.
(Going out)
IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Did you mosh?
No, sadly didn't mosh. Jumped, shouted etc etc but no moshing :-(
jumping and shouting... perhaps we can call that a senior mosh-ment :o)
