Really disappointed. With the concert and with the venue. Venue first; O2 Academy Leeds. We had tickets for the balcony which I have been in before so I know that seats are not reserved. It's first come gets the best seats, fair enough. When we got there 30 mins after doors, the whole balcony was full. There is limited standing room down the long sides which was also 2 or 3 deep. The small openings at the bar behind the seating were full of people also. So basically there was nowhere to watch the show from. We eventually perched at the top of the steps with three others, blocking anyone coming and going. Some people gave up and sat on the floor so could see nothing. Totally oversubscribed and really unfair. We didn't rock up 2 minutes before the main act, we were in 20 mins before the support came on and it was rammed. Poor effort O2.
So, the gig. Pretty boring to be fair. I've been looking forward to seeing Daughter for a long time as he is a great vocalist, and tonight his voice was great. But whoever drew up the set list should be taken out and shot. Dreary, slow, boring songs right off the bat and almost all the way through. He sang a couple of his good rockers and that was it, the rest was turgid. And he gave the appearance that he was pretty full of his own importance. It was a self-indulgent hour and a half. I even left before the end as I was bored stiff and there was zero atmosphere up in the balcony. Could have been so much better.
