Title: London, Hammersmith Apollo
Post by: turmbird on July 02, 2011, 06:55:19 pm
another great show tonight in london´s hammersmith apollo!
the usual 2 hour show, setlist as known, "no better than this" missing, "Easter Eve" included, and "Crumblin´down" tonight instead of "The Real Life".

after berlin a week ago, this was my 2nd show, and I enjoyed it a lot again.
the movie was much more appreciated by the london people than by the berlin fans. either the language is a problem, some germans may not understand the words, or london is just more disciplined, I dont know.

the show was fantastic again, the band played a perfect performance, everyone was doing a great job again!
for "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." John again pulled a man on stage, and he was having definitely a good time up there! it was fun to watch, he hardly wanted to go back to his seat at the end.
for the rock songs the whole crowd, almost sold out, was standing and singing, the atmosphere was great!

tomorrow i´ll try to upload some pictures, maybe videos as well, I´m not so good in these digital things, but I´ll try it. and next week it´s germany again, munich and stuttgart...see you then on the road!
