YOU ME AT SIX – THE FINAL NIGHT OF SIN
The pyrotechnics were astounding. The atmosphere was astounding. The crowd was astounding. The teasing that the band did at the beginning of the concert however was not. My ear drums were bust from the girls screaming getting over excited. Obviously a lot of newcomers who were at their first live show. This was to be expected with the recent gain of fans due to their upcoming ‘fame’.
The lighting within the show was perfect for the songs in which they were associated with, however, they did not play well with cameras or phones as the majority of images that I have seen have been pretty shabby. But I guess that is what the live video is for!
The night was a success in anybody’s eyes, I even think that the bar staff had a brilliant night, much more than what they would have had if the X-Factor had booked it like they were supposed to. Which of course, the frontman Josh Franceschi did mention. Along with adding that someone had said that ‘Rock music was dead’ and then went on to say ‘Does this look like Rock music is f*cking dead?’ to which, of course, there was a massive roar from the crowd who agreed with him, although I do wish that he’d of defined which part of the rock genre they fitted in with, because obviously they are not heavy rock!
The song choice of the concert was a little bit flimsy. This was due to the band playing a lot of old songs, not just songs off of ‘Sinners Never Sleep’, such as ‘Liquid Confidence’ and ‘Playing the Blame Game’. You could both hear and see that people were not too familiar to their old music, which was a shame to me because I was hoping that the crowd would be in awe that they did old songs, due to them not touching many old songs off of their old albums on the tour in March of 2012.
Josh Franceschi definitely proved his right to be a frontman; however this did leave me disappointed that not once did the other members (Dan Flint, Max Helyer, Chris Miller and Matt Barnes) communicate towards the audience besides a little showing off of their instruments when Josh introduced them. It would have been nice to hear them appreciate selling out Wembley Stadium.
A highlight was also when Josh said that he wanted nudity in the live video. This immediately caught my attention, as did it the Mother of two 11 year olds in front of me who did not look impressed. But what did she expect? To know that someone has the power to get thousands of people to strip off for a song left me in awe.
Crash. What can I say? I did fall down with the jaw dropping performance of not only the band, but the crowd as well. I will never witness anything like that for a long time!
My rating: 9/10
