Well what a weekend that was….. London I salute you!!

Me and my brother Nigel arrived in central London around 12ish and went in search of our lodging – a bar/hostel called the Walrus close to Waterloo station..

It was Blues Brothers close as it turns out but it was £20each and you got 15% off at the bar if you were staying there so we made sure to drink enough to basically mean we were staying from free!

Nigel hadn’t really been to London before so had to make a few touristy stops before making our way on the Tube to Stratford station… Quick pit stop in Greggs for some soakage and we were on our way to the stadium….



At least so thought: how we managed to get lost I do not know but somehow we ended up being able to see where we needed to go but unable to get to it: bollox to it – taxi time!

Pretty busy by the time we got there but got in without incident, queued for ages for a few pints then hit the floor! By this stage it was around 7ish and we dandered as far forward as we could without beings douchebags – just past the speaker/ spotlight stands on the right: good view of the stage and fairly central.



Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown hit the stage and I actually thought they were OK: was also convinced the were all girls until I watched a few YouTube videos later – Jaysus how many beers had I drank by that stage?

The booze was flowing and before we knew it the intro video began and it was time to get the party started….

Hey Yeah: Are you ready? We most certainly were!

Took about 30seconds for me to realise that this was gonna be a belter show, the whole crowd seemed in really good form and the band were on on fire!! The only downer was the early curfew meaning it was pretty bright for most of the show.

Observations:

Sound was great where I was standing but lacking a little bit of volume.

Axl & the rest of the band seemed to have clicked really well.

Got Some RnR Thunder – please AC⚡️DC! Just stop playing it: it sucks the life right out of the crowd!

Did I imagine it or was there a few lighting problems near the end?

Axl high-kicking the end of Sin City was pretty epic: it would be fair to say his leg is on the mend.

No changes to the setlist – was Touch Too Much a one off for Prague?

Song highlights: Shoot to Thrill, Given a Dog a Bone, Let There Be Rock, RnR Damnation, High Voltage, Riff Raff, Sin City… Fuck it: all of them (except see above).

Having the ramp up from the start is much better

And just like that it was over: 2hours plus and still the people wanted more but of course it wasn’t to be…. A drama free journey back to the Walrus and my Saturday night in London with AC⚡️DC was at an end – see yous all in Manchester v soon! 🍺🌚🤘🏻
