Big_G Nov 2021 8:04am, 30 Nov 2021 1,270 posts	0 Big_G The Darkness were really superb last night. They sounded great, played all the hits, and 3 or 4 of what I think are the best tracks off the new album. Hawkins is a real character, and I just find him really naturally funny, and there was lots of interaction with lots of interaction with the crowd. It seems to me they probably know they're very lucky doing what they're doing, but they know how to play, they are very tight as a band, they seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves, and I think they know what they're good at. There was one moment when the drummer broke the pedal on the base drum, so the drum tech had to come out and fix it between songs, and they did a kind of improv encouraging the crowd to let Elliot (the drum tech) know how awesome he was My girlfriend, being something of a fitness-class pro, was very impressed with Hawkins when he did a headstand on the base drum, whilst moving his legs very quickly in time of to the music. "That takes some doing!", she exclaimed. I concurred. They played their Xmas hit for the encore. "Too early for all that!", I hear you cry, and usually I would agree, but they came out in oversized Xmas outfits and I think the drummer couldn't really see what he was doing any more. Of course, Justin was in a skimpy Santa outfit and I pretty sure he wore similar when I last saw the min 2003. 18 years ago. Crikey. Anyway, reading all that back, I guess you probably had to be there But, we had a great night, and left with a big smile on our faces. I don't sit there all night taking pics (promise!), but I had to grab this one. Again, I guess you probably had to be there.
