Re: BCC Wolverhampton
Thanks to everyone who's posted so far. Great videos, Adie. I'm having a few pc issues at the moment but will have some of mine to post asap. I did shoot Too Late For The Sun on Maggie's camera which I'm not used to so I'm not sure how it will turn out, Jane but it was really good. Nice to have it in the set.
Libby!....I didn't know you were there. Sorry I didn't see you. There was certainly quite a Bonagathering. Didn't get to see Kay and Rus or Adie either 
I got to the venue at about 5.30pm and joined Maggie, Michael, Rocket, Lyn, Laurence and Marlies (Bonapostle) and Craigbev with his daughter Jessica at the start of the queue. We were shortly joined by Geoff and Sue, Icon and Maxx, Pete59, Triggermala and Mandy and DevonJohn. Also met a very nice guy called Derek who comes originally from Aberdeen (I think). Told him about the forum etc.
When the doors opened at 7 there was a bit of a panic. The guy who was scanning the tickets on our door had a faulty scanner and was dithering about while people were getting in at all the other doors! He was nearly knocked down and trampled on in our desperation to get in quickly. Anyway we were soon in and positioned in the first few rows. I saw Maggie chatting to a young man....our very own Dave Wambarro, nice to meet you too, Dave. Oh and I mustn't forget Kenny and his mate Sandy, so good to meet you too.
Joanne, Virgil and Gabe gave a great performance although the sound quality wasn't too good where I was standing. Nice of Joanne to dedicate Diamonds In The Dirt to Alex, Martin's son who sadly passed away exactly a year ago. I'm sure, Martin, that he was enjoying the music from the best seat in the house 
Before the Black Country boys took to the stage the dramatic strains of Wagner's Flight of the Valkyrie filled the air. Joe was first on the stage and stood there in semi darkness while the music carried on.....and on...and on lol I thought maybe Glenn was having second thoughts! and then they were all there and stormed straight into Black Country. The pace kept up until Song of Yesterday which was fantastic. Easily one of the highlights of the show for me.
The Ballad of John Henry was very warmly welcomed by the crowd and was a real belter.
Glenn paid a very nice tribute to John Bonham before they played the Trapeze number Medusa. He said he had the very, very good fortune to play the song with the greatest rock drummer of ALL time. A beautiful human being, a magnificent drummer and a wonderful family man and by God do we miss John Bonham ( to which the crowd roared in agreement).
Glenn's vocals were amazing throughout but especially on Medusa I thought.
Another highlight was No Quarter. Derek's keyboards really shone out on this number. It was very atmospheric and went down a treat with the whole crowd.
Joe was really enjoying himself as they all were but I know Joe REALLY enjoyed playing Burn. A song from the Glenn Hughes Deep Purple era that he used to listen to when he were nowt but a lad. A dream come true 
I was very lucky to have been at the gig back in September which was a very special event but last night was brilliant with the atmosphere and the crowd in the heart of the Black Country. The boys came, they played, they conquered.
Congratulations Joe, Glenn, Jason and Derek....it was BOSTIN!!
