I attended yesterday’s gig of the Meat Loaf tribute band Maet Loaf at The Robin in Bilston, Wolverhampton. A great show by the band and a great packed venue. Highlight for me were great renditions of “What about Love?” and “I’d do Anything For Love (But I Won’t do That)”. The latter probably the best version I have heard from the band partly due to their new drummer who follows what’s on the original songs pretty acurately.

Caught almost an hour on the camcorder so here are the vids uploaded to YouTube. Don’t forget to hit the HQ button if you have a fast connection, it’s worth it!

Yesterday I went to see Per Gessle perform live in London at The O2 Academy in Islington. A great show and Per played a lot of Roxette stuff. Very good atmosphere too with everyone jumping up and down and singing along to all the songs. It’s been the first time I have seen him live and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I have always considered Per Gessle to be a fantastic song writer who has a huge catalogue of hits. It’s worth checking out some of his stuff even if you have only listened to a handful of Roxette stuff and like it.

I definitely hope to see him or with Marie as Roxette live again soon.

I managed to take some decent vids which I have uploaded to YouTube;
