Hot Chips, Great Music!
On a cold winter's evening it was off to see the Stereophonics play at Wembley Arena (WA).. well anticipated, as saw them play over a year ago at a much smaller venue. So intrigued to see how they would come over in a large venue!
We didn't have much interest in the opening band, I can't even remember their name, so we stood outside, eating hot chips, watching the fountain out the front of WA change colours, and silly people wearing t-shirts (had on a wool coat, wool hat and wool gloves!) running through said fountain!
It was then off in to WA to watch/listen to the Stereophonics... they rocked! Nothing like thousands of people singing one of my favourites of theirs "A Thousand Trees"
"Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees"
Everyone in their seat was tapping their feet, nodding their heads and those down near the stage were waving their arms and bouncing about.
It was great!
You know what I wish though... I'd love it if just once that when the bad stopped their playing, walked off the stage, the lights came up and that was it! None of this encore scream and clap and stamp your feet so that they'll come out and play again palaver. We like you, we came to see you play, we paid to see you play, no need for the encore we love you stroke the ego crap!
