Peter Gabriel Blickling Hall 21.7.07

What a crazy weekend! Spent most of Friday stuck in traffic due to the colossal rainstorms that hit the UK, but made it to Norwich after about 6 hours or so. We booked into the hotel and fell almost immediately asleep. We arrived at Blickling Hall at midday on Saturday and spent the afternoon walking around the grounds. At this point the sun was out and it looked as though we were going to have great weather for the concert (should have known really). We then joined the queue at about 4.30 and waited until they opened the gates. Once we got into the venue I charged down the field to nab a spot up front, we were rewarded with a fantastic view of the gig. The rain DID come down but it didn't matter. PG was on top form, the whole thing was more raw than the "Growing Up" tour. Gone were the theatrics, it was just him and the band. It was fantastic to hear some of his older stuff like "D.I.Y", "Intruder", "Rhythm Of The Heat", "On The Air" and "Lay Your Hands On Me". Great stuff. Here are just a few of the pics I took...
