Meat posted on our forums that Do It would be very special. It was awesome! To be honest Do It is not one of my favourite songs off the album but seeing it performed live was spectacular. I was right down at the front so had an excellent view of the masks. I really don't want to give too much away to spoil it for others about to see the show, but I can tell you they looked very demonic and I thought Meat's looked quite evil!
I'm sure everyone who goes to see Meat on tour is going to love this part of the show.
Meat and the NLE well and truly rocked Plymouth and it was great to have so many of the new songs and to be lucky enough to hear Testify and Love You Out Loud live for the first time.
CHSIB was much more solid than it sounded in Amsterdam and I'm sure, as usually happens with Meat's new songs, they will evolve as the tour progresses.
I was also pleased to hear Lost Boys & Golden Girls (although it would have been nice to have heard the full version) and Love & Death & An American Guitar.
The audience was pretty wild and Meat and the band received a fantastic reception for their first ever gig in Plymouth.
The show was short by Meat's standards and ended with Paradise; no rock 'n' roll medley this time, but I believe Meat and co. had to hop on a plane back to London straight after the gig.
Bearing in mind what Meat said about the Plymouth show being a warm-up for the tour, my only criticism would be that the sound was pretty awful where my friends and I were standing. I realise sound quality is always sacrificed when you stand so close to the stage (you can't have everything! :) ), but what we were hearing was so drum oriented we could hear little else. That said, it doesn't mean the sound wasn't just fine elsewhere in the hall.
I was so excited things worked out that I could be there. I didn't know if I'd make it or not for sure until literally a couple of hours before I jumped in the plane to fly to Plymouth!
Many, many thanks to Meat & the NLE for another fantastic concert experience.
