Can't believe it would taste nice on toast

On Monday, me and Susie went to see Pearl Jam at Wembley Arena.

Me, I'm not a big fan (in fact I probably know two songs, and even then only a few lyrics), but I did promise her that, if she couldn't find anybody else to go with her I would attend to stop her getting lonely.

Idlewild supported, who I have seen 5 times before, twice at glastonbury (wish I was there now!), once headlining their own gig, and twice in support to others (U2 and REM I think), so there was nothing new to come from them. here's a song of theirs I like.



The main act were pretty much as I expected, big rock, gruff voiced singer, lots of guitars. Seeing as I didn't know any songs it didn't really matter to me what they played, but apparently it was a concert for real fans, and they didn't play many singles (a bit like the Lostprophets gig we went to a while back).

I thought it was OK, it lasted 2 1/2 hours which is pretty good, and I can appreciate why some people might like them, not my cup of tea really though. They only played one of the songs I vaguely recognised.....



It was funny though, as we were in the fans section (one fan can buy one guest ticket) and there were lots of couples, obviously one big fan and their partner, and the fan was singing and bouncing along, and the other person clapping politely. In come cases there was just a person on tehir own, looking slightly bemused, and I can only assume their firend had disappeared up the front to 'rock on'.

Smashing Pumpkins to follow....
