There were empty seats everywhere at Saturday's gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London. You could almost have a row to yourself in the upper tier. The fans dancing in front of the stage seemed to be having a good time, but the majority of the audience around me seemed to have been left cold by the entire experience. Perception may be influenced by where you watch the gig from and may have felt better for those near the stage. Personally it was one of the most lack-luster gigs I've ever been to, which considering this was from a man whose music I've loved for many years, made the whole night even more of a sad disappointment.
I'll put it to one side, forget it and hope there's a better memory to take it's place one day soon...
