We (Tyler, George
& I) took a leisurely drive from sunny Sussex to Hitchin on Saturday
afternoon, allowing plenty of time for a wander around town, something
to eat & a few drinks before the gig. Arriving at Club 85 shortly
before the doors opened, we squeezed in a quick drink in the bar
downstairs, admiring the small TV screens attached to the fonts at the
bar - what a great idea! When the doors opened we went upstairs, warmly
greeted by the door staff & offered free cookies on the way in!
Wow! What a great venue! (and totally unexpected from the outside),
probably the biggest stage the S*M*A*S*H boys have taken to since
reforming - it was massive, and had plenty of room for 'Radio S*M*A*S*H'
at the back. 'DJ Borrie' opened the show, playing some great stuff
including Suede, The Manic Street Preachers & The Clash & then
'Radio Rob' took over with his soul mix. Sniper were the first band on
& gave a loud, energetic performance. I particularly liked their
cover of the Inspiral Carpets 'This Is How It Feels'. Took me right
back to my student days in the early 1990s & DJ Tim Cookie kept me
right there with some old indie classics from The Charlatans, Stone
Roses, Happy Mondays etc.
S*M*A*S*H took to the stage about 10.15pm,
treating the crowd to a long set, mixing old & new. The crowd
loving it & jumping around at the front. It was good to see some
veteran S*M*A*S*H fans & also some new faces there. Like all
S*M*A*S*H gigs, it was over far too soon, but the boys were back for a
blistering 3 song encore. My only gripe is that the sound was a bit too
loud (OK, so I'm getting old!) & distorted & I couldn't hear
Ed's vocals very well, but maybe it's because I was too close to the
front as I was told that it sounded better further back.....
I
took a few photos, but despite tons of jumps from Ed & Salv I still
didn't manage to capture any of them - sorry I am just too slow! (but I
am only a beginner!). Tried out some different modes on my camera
though which was fun!
I didn't want the night to end, it was
fantastic, but we had to say our goodbyes & head south. Thanks to T
for staying awake & talking/singing to me all the way home! And
thanks to Ed, Salv, Rob & Helen 'The Boss' for another great night.
