Ok, let me first admit I was probalby the oldest peron at the gig, after the 65 year old rocking out to next to us, and discounting the bouncers.
Secondly, I sang along to 'Born in the 80s' pretending that I actually was, despite no one around me actually believing it for a minute.
This was a cracking set by Calvin, feeding off the atmosphere generated by the very young crowd going crazy in the mosh pit in front of him.
This exuberance bubbled over for most of the night with a steady stream of light sticks and plastic cups being thrown, culminating in Calvin being hit full on the coupon with a shoe of all things. He replied in a stern voice, "can the person who threw that show just f**k off" and then carried on.
He was supported by a live band and his female vocalist who sounded excellent live, especially on his latest hit 'Ready for the Weekend'.
All in all, an excellent night, and despite the fact that i was trampled several times by hordes of marauding teenieboppers, who seemed desperate to change their viewing position every five minutes, very enjoyable.
I think I must just be getting old :(
