Witchy Mummy's Twickenham Review

Link: Eagleland // View topic - Twickenham.

Twickenham blew me away! I have never been to a concert that big before and the size of the ground and the amount of people in it was huge. The atmosphere was electric. The crowd were really in a party mood. I missed the Dixie Chicks. I was only in my seat for five minutes before he guys came on stage at around 7.15pm. They headed straight into Take It Easy and then Witchy Woman (which I was thrilled to hear). The crowd were a little slow at this point. Once the alcohol started to flow they soon perked up! Don introduced the Long Run as the last song before the interval. He said in order to play more they would have to take a break and “go to the loo”. At this point quite a few people got to their feet to dance. The interval was a good time to catch up with the other Eaglelanders. The home movies came on. Very cute and enjoyable. The guys came back on stage and the people in the aisle and at the front didn’t go back to there seats. The stewards then came to tell everyone to go back. You were allowed to stand in front of your seats. The guys were on their stools for the next few songs. Hole In the world was introduced with the story of how it was written and Don said hopefully there would be a change in leadership soon. The crowd agreed. He also invited us to sing along. No More Cloudy Days was fantastic. Glenn’s voice was wonderful. He also did a great job with Take It To The Limit. The crowd loved it too as you could here them singing along. The helmet cam was a big hit. Joe told us that as there is so much building work going on he picked up a hat. He said he was good at demolishing but he didn’t know much about building. A really fun song and I was shamelessly jumping up and down when the cam was pointing my way. At this point the crowd were on there feet and they were not going to be moved. The wanted to have a good time and the stewards couldn’t get them back to there seats. We were having a great time!! I spotted Toonie, Midnight Girl, Lisa and Mel on the big screen.

The guys were enjoying the atmosphere. Don and Glenn were laughing and joking quite a bit. Joe was jumping around on stage. Timmy and Stu were exchanging comments and smiles. Scott was his usual self and loving every minute . Will seemed to be a world of his own as did Michael. The horns were very colourful in pastel shirts.

Two things happened that I will never forget. Timmy introduced Love Will Keep Us Alive and said he would like to say hello to a friend of the band’s. Paul Carrick (sp?). He happened to be sitting in the seat in front of me. Close to the beginning Tim noticed Gary (my hubby) had a camera. He looked our way stood, smiled and posed for him! A wonderful concert which sadly had to end.
