19/11/04 - CHILDREN IN
NEED GIG, GUILDHALL GREEN, LLWYN ISAF, WREXHAM Review
by Steven Stanley Anyway around 6pm the gates opened... I ran infront of everyone and was at the barrier first... I went straight to centre stage and got my spot. Teen, Caz, Spanky, Chris all followed. Then followed the worst orderdeal I have ever been through before a BA concert. 2 hours of utter shite. We had made rude banners but security wouldn't let us put any up because it was live TV and children in need... ahh well! It was funny when 'Nadia' came on though because the security guard was making fun of her tits lol. We were spared though because she didn't sing her new song. Haven't heard it but I don't want to! Nadia was quite scary actually, don't wanna go through that again! I have never seen Teen and Caz laugh so hard when it was announced that Lisa Scott Lee was 'going to push Pudsey's big red plunger' to to turn on the Christmas lights! Was sooo funny! Christian Lionteau was quite good though... I was quite disapointed with 'Wet Wet Wet'... I wanted to swipe that smile off Marti Pellow's face he doesn't half love himself. Also...Lisa Stansfield... how bad was she!!! Wow. She looked like the grim reaper as well wtf! All for a good cause though eh!
Eventually Bryan and the boys came onstage... they instantly put all the other acts to shame. It made me realise how good they are live even more compared to other bands. Bryan still hadn't cut his hair... looks as if he is trying to grow it to me, also Keith's head looked like a little onion with his tuft lol... like it the 'Room Service' booklet photo. 'Open Road' was really good and Bryan chucked his harmonica into the crowd again like at Brighton... went straight over my head though! Surprisingly afterwards they played 'Room Service'... love that song. '18' followed and then 'Summer Of '69' electric again... just like in Cardiff a couple of weeks ago! Think it was only because they couldn't be bothered to change guitars around and alter the setup because they were on for such a short time. At future BA shows I think he will continue performing it acoustically but we will see. I guess Wales is just lucky! 'The Only Thing' got everyone singing along and for me was the best song of the night. At one point I thought the speakers were gonna blow because they just couldn't take the noise that was goin thru em! They held out pretty good though. They took their bows anyway and left the stage. I did think that was it, but they came back on and did 'Run To You' which was nice to see. At the end of the show Bryan mentioned the Cardiff gig he did a couple of weeks ago and said he loved Wales. He also said he had never been to North Wales before but he hoped to come back soon. After the gig we waited for Bryan but eventually it turned out he left straight away with the band. Tina wanted us all to go anyway because she was cold and needed the toilet lol. So we said goodbye to everyone and went to Tesco for some food! On the way back Tina and Caz drove us through such villages as 'Cock Bank'... Teen said she wanted to go and make a withdrawal... sweet christ! If you like gigging smut free... never go with these 2! Great Friday night out though we had a great laugh and it was free for a change :) 18 times seeing Bryan in under a year in USA, UK, Switzerland, Italy and Germany... think thats it for me til next year now!
