Someone has got me a ticket to see Fleetwood Mac, you say? I love Fleetwood Mac. But hang on, I hate gigs. Love Fleetwood Mac. Hate gigs. Love Fleetwood Mac. Hate gigs. Oh well, let's just get on with it then.
The O2 would be a sterile venue to host a conference of anti-bacterial spray manufacturers, let alone a concert of one of the world's great rock bands, and the clientele were suitably hard to pin down. It was strange to go to a gig with no discernable tribes, unless fans of a carvery on a Sunday constitutes a tribe. It was like being on a Ryanair flight with 20,000 people.

'About a third of the audience stood up to dance. More still jiggled in their seats. I doubt if there have been that many people with so little natural rhythm gathered in one place since the world championship bowls final at Potters Leisure Resort in Hopton-on-Sea.' |
This is hilarious and gave me a good laugh. There were several similar comical moments I experienced at the O2 - one of which was the short lady shouting to the blokes in front (who were enjoying themselves and having a good dance) - I didn't pay £140 to spend the night staring at your arse! And then the other women, whilst the rest of the audience was being dazzled by Big Love, saying to me... I don't like this, he sounds like a barking dog. There was also a very drunk women that I met on the way in, that handed me a glo stick, and made me promise I would wave it to her during Little Lies (her very favourite song) - when I looked up at her during Little Lies she was throwing herself around in one of the aisles, dancing her heart out.
He mentions a new song in this review, several other reviews have done the same ... I'm guessing they think I Know I'm Not Wrong is new song.
