1 Damo gig just blows any other gig out of the water for me
I saw him play in Edinburgh's Usher Hall on Tuesday and wow. I've had a lot of sadness to deal with over the past month-or-so and hesitated to go away for the gig as I felt inappropriate about leaving home so soon. The journey was horrible but I'm so, so glad I went
When Damo hits the layers and layers of whispers and shouting and music and noise it just turned my bones to jelly and it was as loud as I would play in my headphones so it was all familiar but a whole lot better. The sound hit like a shockwave that wiped out my worries for that time - it was amazing.
The setlist was mostly similar to that of Glasgow's King Tuts gig and it was refreshing to see around 97% of people were not using phones an camera flashes - just people paying money to see and appreciate.. and that standing ovation.. I've been to gigs where standing ovations are whoops and cheers but Damo's one was a whole other beast - genuinely sounded like a massive roar and I will neer forget that.
