It was a close call for this show, as at first I didn't want to risk attending a concert just before a nightshift at work. Not so much for fear of being tired and smelly, but because I didn't want to have to leave halfway through the gig.
And eventually, I decided to go. Because we all need rocking gigs at the moment, and that I knew it'd be worth it. And it was.
From the second they step on stage, Nothing More give absolutely every bit of energy they have, and I can tell you they NEVER seem to run out. It fills you and everyone around. The show was not sold out but the crowd made up for it. The kind of band & crowd that makes you sad for not knowing the lyrics to every song as you'd want to share more, singalong and be all part of that sort of big body.
They do give everything, jump around, play like the fate of the world might depend on it. And it's a lifesaver. It was very emotionnal too, as the band had last played at the Bataclan earlier this year, and payed tribute to the victims...
I definitely won't regret being tired and smelly all night at work afterwards. I do regret having missed the last songs, especially "Salem". But it was worth it, and it felt good. The kind of good rock'n'roll feeling we all needed to soothe our spirits and start mending our broken hearts. So thank you <3
Opening acts were great, venue was small, but it was great to feel the energy of the crowd. Definitely go and see Doobie if you're a fan, and if you kinda listen to his music, his live set was also fantastic. Crowdsurfing, crowd involvement, and a super fun evening. I will for sure go again, am I gonna see you there?
