This was the queue to get the tickets (some time back) Queue for Machine Head Rescue Rooms tix

I got there very early for this one. First person i saw was Rich (?) who i’d met when we queued up for the tickets back whenever. Truth be told, i probably shouldn’t have gone to this gig as i had a leg infection & was in agony ! But hey, it’s such a special gig i HAD TO do it, no matter 🙂 I was in the balcony & the lighting was awful. The spots were pointing straight out & the video clips i made are very poor & over saturated. But whatever, i enjoyed the show as best i could…& tbh couldn’t wait to get home as felt like passing out due to the leg pain !DSC00968 DSC00928

Thanks to my mate Greg & in turn his mate Scott, we had AAA passes for the show! Got to see two different sets by Anthrax. One of which,was in a tent 

 

 

The other one was on open air stage.  

Kerry King (Slayer) walking to his buggy to take him to the stage 😉 By total fluke, my friend Tess got in the photo 🙂 (we didn’t know each other then) 

 

The Prodigy were great !   I think it was Maxim who came out into the crowd & went back to it, past us. Backstage we got some photos with Anthrax    Saw an exclusive acoustic set by Ally from The Virginmarys 

The very  strange Babymetal 

The clip i posted of them has had over 1 million views !

Ghost were pretty damn good 

 

And of course, Maiden were fantastic 🙂

I quite like this venue. It’s a nice size & can get a real good view of everything from the balcony. Tonight we got a reasonable balance of the oldies but goldies plus a few newer songs.  

The end of the main set, they finished with the classic “Heart Of Glass”

One of the biggest surprises was they played ” Hollywood Babylon” (A cover by The Misfits). The show finished with eternal favourites “In The Sun” & “Dreaming”

This was a great day out. I think they were having trouble shifting tickets as we got ours as 2 for the price of 1. Surprisingly, this was the first time i’d been to my namesake place. So a photo had to be took at the tube station. DSC00631

 

I was VERY surprised by Aerosmith. Previously i didn’t think much to their live performance,but, tonight was fantastic. Exactly how they should be. Didn’t think much to Richie Sambora, loved the Jezabels, Thunder were Thunder & of course, Heavens Basement rocked.
