Well, my 3rd Editors gig & what can I say? Little did I know this was to be quite a night!

Managed to get hold of next of stage balcony tickets & although for some being ‘in amongst it’ is the way to go, I was delighted to get balcony tickets. Those who have been to the Carling before will know what I mean!

The guys roared onto stage around 915pm & straight into ‘An End Has A Start’ which went down a storm. Perfect opener to get the crowd going as if they needed to!

The set was a perfect mix of old & new with crowd favourites Munich, All Sparks & Blood mingling perfectly with the new album tracks such as ‘Bones’, When Anger Shows & new single ‘The Racing Rats’ which is an amazing track in a live setting. A really nice surprise was also included as Tom introduced the next song as ‘our new B-side’ which I believe was ‘Banging Heads’. This was an exclusive for me as I hadn’t heard it before & was very impressed. Great tune.

The penultimate track of the night ‘Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors’ had a great surprise intro for me as Tom sings the opening lines ‘acapella’ before the drums kicked in & that just blew me away!

‘Fingers In The Factories’ then completed what for me was one of the best gigs i’ve been to in a long time. A fantastic end to the night & the icing on the cake was meeting Tom afterwards. I was quite impressed as he was very polite & gracious & was more than happy to sign some stuff & pose for pics.

A perfect end to a perfect night. Roll on February!
