Oh, yes, I thought those were new boots... these had some kind of gray fold-down flap at the top. A bit higher than ankle-high. |
despite what the local venues security think, the band want the people to have the opportunity to go to the stage,
the head of security for the band takes the time to walk the front row before the show at about 20:00 hrs local time, to speak to all those seated in the front row, &, explain that they should go to the stage in about 10 minutes.....
however, at the SECC, the G4S security staff politely asked everyone to sit down again, (about 2 minutes before the crickets started), being a polite bunch everyone complied,
so about 60 seconds later, the crickets started, and everyone advanced to the front,
some of the front row people did not go to the front of the stage but most did,
anyway, there was a great crowd assembled at the stage, &, there was no further security issues until the end when Silver Spring was not played, & security were asking people to leave before the lights came up,
the boots were black, about 5" heels, just above the ankle, with what appeared to be crystal studded staps, rather nice
