First two songs, no flash from the back of the room, which turned out to be the lighting desk at the front of the balcony. Still a long way from the stage. The kindly lighting guy warned us it was gonna be dark, and gave a little laugh…

He wasn’t wrong…

Although what was possibly even funnier was you kinda got the impression he was trying help out in the second song by boosting the lights a bit, causing Mr Adams to throw a hissy fit because it was too bright and storm off stage…

Having never seen him before, what was strange was that nobody seemed that bothered by it, seemingly because he’s got a reputation for it. He came back after 15 minutes and ended up playing for over 2 hours. Still in the dark. Not seen a decent photo from anyone who photographed his Australian tour and here’s my contributions to that group.
