in Concert

Going back to 30th Sept.08
Katie, Fo and I headed to Cardiff on tuesday afternoon (appropriate eh?) to see the Moodies. My last trip down had been in December 07 to se Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds and it had been just Fo and me.
The Moodies were at St David's Hall http://www.stdavidshallcardiff.co.uk/english/index.asp
A venue i'd wanted to see something at since it was built.

They (the sound engineers) knackered the sound and balance. Shame cos the guys were singing their hearts out. They did sound great in a great hall with great acoustics but the sound guys failed them.
All the songs were fab., having said that.
The favourites and few more from further back. Most i knew and a couple I didn't.
Tuesday Afternoon, Nights in White satin, Question, Driftwood, Steppin' In A Slide Zone, I'm Just A Singer (in a rock n roll band).......

Justin and John

The lighting effects were good.
The audience were appreciative.
The run home went without incident.
The hard part? - crawling from my pit to go to work the next day. Bleargh!! Graeme Edge. Another of the original line-up.
