I greatly anticipated this event....TD...!!!....Live again in London...My brother got us tickets...he was as keen as I to see TD again (our last TD gig being Astoria the previous year.......), I also managed to get Ms BM to come along as well for her 6th TD gig.....The clincher for her was the Venue.
...EDIT.......it was a pretty full venue...big mix of people...and I reckoned that quite a few were lulled to the gig by the Film promo.....after all the promotion indicated the first screening of Purgatorio in many years......
Unfortunately we had seats down the front left....not much leg room...my bruv was up against the wall....MadamBM on the aisle.......we chatted a while and took in the atmosphere.....I remember my brother saying :"Looking forward to this....."
Immediately the band took the stage....(smallish screen hanging in the air dead centre.......)....the singers strolled on....(sorry fans....we sort collectively rolled our eyes......)...edgar.....Jerome.....Linda.......
POW.......the first notes blasted into us....no time to assess....Its TD!!!!...I settle back......
enjoying this.....I look to me bruv....he smiles back....early expectations....
twenty minutes in or so.....we are getting a little restless.....its getting repetitive a little....its not quite as I expected (not sure what I wanted from the music, not having heard purgatorio and disliking inferno......)
later I find myself constantly fidgeting in my seat.....Im feeling conscious of MSBM and my brothers restlessness.....we are finding the 'constant' singing and drumming is wearing us out.....my brother leans over...' tough one....hard going...'
suddenly the film starts......not sure.....the music seems distracting somehow......
Note : during the film MsM left to go to thee toilet...on her return she whispered to me....' there's a few in there......worst concert she has ever been to......'...
EDIT.......
At the end of the gig...we applaud....I m aware of some heckling.....but we continue to applaud....we are keen to get to the bar and discuss.....(and finish the merch stall......)
no point writing on.....at the time.....on our Exit we all agreed, it was enjoyable.....just not good enough.....Her indoors enjoyed it...'too long...a bit eurovision.....better than the last TD gig......'
My brother felt that the singing got on his nerves...' just too much'
I felt it a heroic, flawed, failure
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz not writing any more
but I tell you this.....I may not in hindsight rate the gig much....but the DANTE trilogy makes sense.....it is an OPUS that one cant take or leave...I will take it....for what it is
