Snow Patrol Concert

Well, as I said on a previous blog... on Sunday night I went to see Snow Patrol. It was the second time I've seen them now, as they always seem to start their tour in Bournemouth.

I remember last time loving them completely, great fun. No complaints here either. Unfortunately, the experience went a bit wrong because my girlfriend has recently hurt her back. So we tried to get seating... but couldn't. Therefore we made a decision to stand at the rear of the hall so no one pushed her from behind.

I could see everything, but unfortunately she was about a foot smaller than everyone else! I then worried about her for the whole concert, but she says she still liked it.

Anyway, that's that... it was still fantastic in every way. I loved the support band too "Fanfarlo", who are definately worth checking out! They weren't a typical band, as they used lots of alternative instruments too like violin, trumpet, oboe and more...

Then Snow Patrol came on. I love them so. They really know how to put on a concert. The front man is hilarious, this time comparing the audience to eggs... but it was so funny at the time. At one point he even came into the audience... as can be seen in the below video.



There was a great mix of loud jumping music, and quiet, nice to listen to music. I became a huge fan of the song "The Finish Line" over this concert too, because they did it so well.



If I had one main complaint, they didn't sing "Signal Fire" which is one of their biggest, and one of my favourite songs of theirs... but never mind. Maybe next time.

The best moment however, as was last time is the song "Chasing Cars". The song gets the audience pumped up and up throughout the song, and then when it really kicks in at the end... there's no greater feeling.



So, in conclusion, great concert. I will definately be seeing them again, though next time will probably choose seated!
