Europe (plus Diamond Head) @ Bristol Academy 240210

.
What a magnificient double bill at the O2 Academy in Bristol last night with 2 of the great underrated rock acts.

Diamond Head....

....were first up with a heavy rocking set of staple classics culminating in the inevitable:

on You Tube, "Am I Evil?"

...and the main event....
.
Europe
.
Great musicianship, a towering presence of a frontman who can actually sing (a la David Coverdale in his pomp), and a back catalogue of both well known and lesser known gems mixed in with plenty from the new album.
.
The set included Carrie, Chereokee, Seventh Sign, Seven Doors Hotel, Sign Of The Times, Rock The Night and, of course (on You Tube):

Ebbw Vale 23-6 Bedwas


It's been so long coming, it was worth taking a photograph of. Ebbw Vale put together probably their best display of the season to thoroughly deserve a comprehensive victory over Bedwas.
.
With commitment, passion and desire in abundance, they outscrapped and outfought a side that usually do that to us.
.

More of the same please in the weeks to come, and we could well stay up.
