Airbourne Toxic Event @ Leeds Cockpit 08/04/2011
Let me start with a little disclaimer, this band have been on my “list to see” for some time, but I’m not one of their biggest fans. I like there stuff but I haven’t listened to it on a regular basis. Clearly in a packed Cockpit I’m in the minority, stood amongst the very excited and very vocal fanatics.
A great crowd, great set and a teriffic set.Not too keen on the Bruce Springsteen country segway in the encore, but that doesn’t spoil it for me.
Fave moment of the night was during one of the rare quiter tracks, two durnken young lasses pushed their way to the front with one of them talking excessively loudly to her mate. The whole of the front portion of the crowd in unison turned and gave them a collective “shhhh” – it worked.
Oh and a ripple of applause to the Leeds based support YonderBoy – great stuff.
