The D
Tenacious D, December 19th, Hammersmith Apollo, 7pm. They were awesome, I really enjoyed this gig. The gig itself was more a show/gig really as I was expecting but it was full of jokes, visual gags and rock! One of the funny parts wasn’t anything to do with the D but a giant No Smoking sign in the venue - next to which the D has placed a smouldering volcano! The D played all the main songs and treated us to all the props and gags that we were expecting including a giant jumping mushroom as well as rocking our socks off for almost two hours.
The D were so good in fact that losing one of our train tickets didn’t even detract from the experience. And again when we got outside to discover the black sack of stuff we’d got back from the coakroom wasn’t ours it was still a great night! Even when this morning we awoke to the bright misty morning it was all good…
…hang on it’s usually dark when I take Charlie to work, 8.45! FUCK!…
…that’s only two hours late! Charlie got to work at about 9.40 this morning, but still it was a good night!
The train home was an interesting experience what with bumping into a few hundred Kasabian fans on the tube and then Cradle of Filth fans on the train back to Colchester, it was obviously a good night for music in the Capital last night.
Seriously though all those worries about the D turned out to be unfounded and even thought their new record isn’t a patch on the old one they still rocked and I’m glad that I got to see them on this whistlestop tour of the UK. When Charile gets home with the camera I’ll put some pictures up.
At least all those chickens now know that he’s being punished for eternity…
Good Hunting
The pictures and videos are up now!
Sounds very good, kind of makes me want to go! Don’t tend to go to gigs much at all anymore.
Glad you had fun
