Just a quick summary of the Snow Patrol gig at Meadowbank.

  • It was pretty crushed, and we unfortunately had 2 idiots next too us that took a fair telling to calm down!
  • It was awesome, they played all their big hits, and a few for just the ’core fans.
  • Elbow and Hazy James(?) were pretty damn good as support. Fugitive hotel by Elbow was especially good to hear live.
  • 27,000 fans make a lot of noise, and for one very happy band!
  • 27,000 fans also makes it easy to lose people when you leave.
  • 27,000 fans phoning their mates to rave about the concert also consumes all the available cellphone connections in the area, meaning you can’t use your phone to find your mates!
