Blink Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Anybody else see the gig at the Rah Rah Rooms, London last night? Throughly enjoyed it and the time flew by. Three very talented guys making great music. **Minor rant alert** There should be plenty of YouTube footage available soon. I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who watch a live gig through a mobile phone screen!!!!! One chap in front of me last night would take a dozen or so photos and then spend the next 3 to 4 minutes reviewing them. Dennis Chambers had at least two cameras pointing directly at him for the whole gig, from about 1 foot from his kick drum. Why? Put your phone in your pocket and enjoy the gig.

[/quote] Agree about the phone use. It's not a great venue for music, it's usually a club/cabaret/dinner jazz type of place - where the low stage works with everyone sitting, for example. So once everyone puts their phone up, you really can't see much at all. Really enjoyed Vic's playing as ever, especially his looping solo, which I watched from afar in the bar area where it's slightly raised, the audio is piped through at comfortable volume and you can lean on the bar. Which brings me to my next point: £6.50 for a 330ml bottle of Sol, Heineken or Peroni, poured into a black plastic beaker. I'm quite used to London prices but this works out to £11.19 a pint. Play at Under The Bridge again next time Vic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
