Tonight we were in the 2nd row. This was our first show not at the barrier. I was sitting near Anne & Taz, The three of us were finding it really difficult to sit down through Picture house LOL... They found it really strange that the UK audiences sat down through a show. ( & as I'm sure some of you know LOL... myself & Lor find it extremely hard to sit through Picture house ~ yes we are the ones you've seen standing for them at all the UK shows LOL.)
After Picture house we hatched a plan between us to get to the front.... & it worked all 5 of us managed to get there!!!!!!

At last the first of the rescheduled shows..... It seemed like forever since we'd seen a show in the UK.
Tonight there were a lot of changes ~ some minor some more noticeable. Like Pearls hair for instance!!! It had gone from her normal curly style to a much softer straighter look......
The start of the show was the same with the thunder & lightening, along with the technical difficulties. It was much shorter than the previous UK shows though.
HOME BY NOW / NO MATTER WHAT began the show again ~ & was as good as every other night....We started in the 2nd row for this song but towards the end we ended up on the barrier.... & stayed there for the rest of the show...
LIFE IS A LEMON was as good as always. I just love the way they do this.... Doesn't Pearls hair look great!!!!
DEAD RINGER was the same tonight as always. Except tonight Meat drank nearly the whole bottle of drink!!!!
I'm not sure when on the tour this started happening (It could of been at the beginning for all I know LOL, my minds so fuddled lately) but Meat went up to Johns left & done a little dance near the end of Dead ringer......
I'D LIE FOR YOU started as usual with Ray. Followed by Tom.... With some excellent guitar solo's from Damon.
ANYTHING FOR LOVE
LAWYERS GUNS & MONEY
ROCK N ROLL DREAMS was excellent again. Ray always plays so well on this ( not that he doesn't on everything of course. I just love him playing this ~ he really seems to get into it...... Meat plays the drums with John through this as well......
IS NOTHING SACRED was sang as beautifully as ever....
PARADISE was much shorter tonight. I'm personally quite relieved by this as it was really starting to drag LOL.... Actually I think it made it better in a way as there wasn't quite so much of it. Nevertheless it was an excellent performance by Meat & Patti...
After this the band took they're usual bow....
The band left the stage & Meat stayed on ready for the acoustic..
Meats sits down & starts talking to the audience "Ok how are we? ~ no let me rephrase that, how the hell are we? Can we try that one more time. HOW THE FUCK ARE YA!!!!.
Now I must say at this time I want to thank you all for being so patient with me. I'm sorry I that I was sick but I'm glad that I'm here tonight. The first night that we were supposed to be here before that day I was in an operating room in London scared to death, but the one good thing, they were rolling me into the operating room see because my wife called & told them that I'm a big baby when it comes to doctors & things, they put me into the kids wing right ~ I'm serious above me as I was laying there right before they put me to sleep was Fred & Wilma Flintstone on the ceiling I thought of you as I was thinking of Fred & Wilma then I didn't think of anything for a while...
Meat then makes his disclaimer on the kids.........
"Charlie may I have my guitar please ~ thank you Charlie"
I think then Meat made a boo boo LOL... Someone called out from the audience & Meat said you have very good pronunciation... You must not be from ....... never mind". I think he was about to say Germany but he stopped at the last minute, realizing that he was in England......
"On piano Mr Tom Brislin.....

16 TONS
HONKY TONK WOMAN was next with Kas changing the first verse to "Sheffield" ~ After Meat said "Mick Jagger asked me to play that cause he's playing over here in the stadium this summer. He gave me 4 or 5 quid for that one......
Then he asked if anyone had any requests ~ Taz shouted out "I love rock n roll" but Meat carried on asking for requests..... Then he said I heard that one. What did you say Modern girl no not Modern Girl, Did I hear somebody say Heartache tonight? No alright then I'll pick one ~ MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST & FOUND.......
"I gotta request that Pearl sing a song ~ pick one honey. Taz shouted out "I love rock n roll". Meat said "ok I heard that!! I LOVE ROCK N ROLL ~ you ready for it?
