OK so Darren was PHENOMENAL tonight. It surpassed amazing, and in my opinion even better than the London gig. I don't know if it was because of the new order of songs (which I liked and think flowed really well), or the touches added to Dirty (All Around Me - YAY!! Quake - Coolness! I Want You, and I Need You Tonight - Brilliant!), Mine (Keep Bleeding, Keep Keep Bleeding!), and Conversation with God (Running Up That Hill), or perhaps just the audience - who were fabulous! Certainly louder than the London crowd, everyone seemed to love every minute of the show, and did not stop chanting for him to come back on in the break before the encore! It must be so weird to have three hundred odd people chanting for you to come back on stage lol. The atmosphere was great!
I could see a lot more of the stage this time (I couldn't really see any of it in London!) and its really pretty with a some fairy lights and those flowery lights in a vase. It's cool because it kinda give the whole thing the more relaxed feel I was talking about in my last blog, great!
Darren himself seemed a lot more relaxed too, perhaps as it was the 4th gig for him now so he's had time to settle into it all! He looked and sounded amazing, and was extremely funny when telling us about the 'theiving bitch' who took his mug yesterday and emailed him to ask what tea he drank. He then went on to tell us how he had the runs last night and how she probably had it now and it served her right! lol! He slipped up at the same place in Setting Sun - which is probably still my favourite bit of the gig, I completely love the song anyway but it sounds even better live! I want a keyboard that can play that beat!! He also slot in Unloveable at the start of the (fake)encore which was beautiful, at one point he was singing in almost a whisper and then cranked it up to sing loud again and the effect was quite stunning.
Anyway I think thats about everything without repeating myself over and over (which I would quite willingly do but then the two readers I have would probably abandon me!), needless to say I had a completely brilliant night (again) as Darren was fantastic (again) and I SO can't wait (though can wait at the same time!) for the next one! Which I think is Bristol - on a boat!! How cool!!! It feels so weird not doing them all this time (and I keep getting seriously tempted by the ones I'm not going to), though when I remember that we were only supposed to be doing two and ended up doing five, I am more than happy about it!!!!!
