The journey begins up the M2 motorway
Canary Wharf - East London
The Millenium Dome where North Greenwich Tube Station is situated.£5 for parking is not bad at all.
Barriers to the Underground.
All change at Westminster Tube station.
Destination Hammersmith, West London.
Coffee and tickets before the show.
Hammersmith Apollo, formerly, Hammersmith Odeon.
Keith Urban came out Rocking
The only gig I've been to where a banjo has been used!
It was a fantastic gig. There was a great light show and video display. It's the first country gig I have been to, hence the first banjo I have seen played in anger.
Keith Urban is a rock based country artist and reminds me a lot of Bryan Adams, who he toured with earlier this year.
It was a strange experiance to hear all the female voices singing along and cheering. There were so many women at the gig. They had dragged their men along but it was evident that the guys were not that familiar with Mr Urban's work because it was the girls voices that screamed out the words when Keith asked them to sing along.
It was like being at an Under 18 International Football match where the majority of the crowd are kids screaming.
The other observation I made was the amount of mobile phones illuminating the front few rows of people. They were all snapping away or video-ing the gig on their phones.
The cell phone is the 'new' cigarrette lighter. Waved along in the air while the gig goes on.
Keith Urbans sore throat held up well and the gig was one of the best I have seen. Well worth checking out if you get a chance. Yee Harr!
It's my birthday today and my profile has changed to, the 'all-too-real', 38 years old.
Another day nearer eternity and another digit closer to 40. *sigh*
