Rocked the joint

First up were Dizzy Lizzy with a lead singer/bassist who really looked the part. The band were tight and blasted through their set without hardly missing a beat. Pretty much all the Thin Lizzy great songs were covered and covered brilliantly. I saw the original band in the early 1980's and these were every bit as entertaining. I'll definitely look out for them playing again.
Then came AC/DC UK. A superb build up followed by an amazing set. The lead singer was a Brian clone but for me, the lead guitarist who was deputising for their Angus who was injured and couldn't play, made the gig really special. I had difficulty believing how well he played the solos. His persona was so accurate, it was scary. They concentrated on earlyish songs and even played Downpayment blues which isn't often played live by the original band. Their choice of songs was brilliant with Thunderstruck also standing out along with….. actually everything really!!
Brilliant performance by both bands. A special night, thx guys you definitely rocked!
