| After emerging from the tent where the 2nd stage was, we went to the main stage, and before settling there, brought our t-shirts and some well earned grub. We sat through most the bands onstage on the main stage but here are the overall, thoughts I had on them, The Answer drew a lot of attention when they hit the stage, (I’d seen these guys perform support for Alterbridge not so long ago) and they have definitely made their mark moving up to play such a large stage at Hyde Park. The fan base for these guys seems to be pretty big and its awesome to see them doing so well, with both the older fans and younger fans. As the afternoon drew on and the rain continued to fall umbrellas went up but spirits weren’t dampened. Next up onstage was Chris Cornell, and although I have never really listened to much of his material before, I was totally emersed in his performance. His voice was amazing, and highlights of his show included the hit from James Bond Casino Royale ‘You know my name’ and many Soundgarden and Audioslave favourites. I will definitely go away a fan of his even if I wasn’t initially. Now the moment everyone was waiting for after a bit of a wait between Chris Cornell and change of the set Aerosmith took the stage to an enormous welcome from all. They hit the stage with ‘Love In an Elevator’ and the unmistakable voice of Steven Tyler was heard through the whole of Hyde Park. Being one of the younger fans in their audience it was pure magic for me to see this band up there giving it there all, this is what rocks about. The most memorable moment for me was yet to come though when they played ‘I Don’t Wana Miss A Thing’, this was so beautiful live and I shared one of the most amazing songs with some of my closest mates, something I will never forget. Unfortunately we had to leave early to get a train home but I was however informed that later in the encore more was to come from the surprises when Run DMC joined the guys onstage for ‘Walk this Way.’ What a gig and what a show, fucking amazing!!!! |
