I love Neil Young. I do not love his artist/concert manager who made all the photographers stand behind a red line in the corner of the pit and gave me a very narrow shooting angle behind a camera man.  However we have what we have and  must get on with it and all in all some quite OK shots. Sorry about the clichés.

The set opened with his now customary playing of the Beatles “A Day in The Life” and a faux rendition of God Save the Queen whilst the set scientists and builders hoisted a ragged flag up the overgrown microphone stand.

When you stick an Australian rock band on a bill with Airbourne, you expect volume, sweat and riffs thick enough to chew on. With Asomvel sadly forced to pull out due to illness, Avalanche were handed an extended set — and they didn’t waste a single extra second of it.

Just two nights after levelling The Academy Dublin and with Manchester’s O2 Ritz in their sights, Foo Fighters storm the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire for the second of three word-of-mouth, in-person-ticket-only club shows.
