DC !!!

Bought a ticket off eBay. Was having a tough couple of weeks at work so I decided to treat myself. I fucking love the DC. Seen them headline twice before, once in 1991 and once in 2003. What struck me, was that most of the reviews from this gig were incredibly positive, but back in the day, the mainstream press gave the band shite reviews. DC, were always targets for the music press. in 2009 I guess it's a retro thing, a "post ironic" love of all things rawk. Sure the band are a lot more grey and a lot thinner on top, but it was great fun, yet nowhere near the level of intensity onstage as back in '91 or 2003. Sonically, the classics still sound as fresh today as they did back then though. The new ones sounded awesome too. Not back for a bunch of really old timers. Not bad at all.
