The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as fans gathered at Audio in Glasgow on the 11th of February for a night promised to be nothing short of sensational. Titled “Live, Loud & Ready,” the show delivered on every front, leaving the audience exhilarated and craving more long after the final chord had faded.
The setlist, carefully curated to captivate and enthral, was a rollercoaster of emotions and energy, showcasing the undeniable talent and passion of the performers. Kicking off with the electrifying anthem “Diggin For Fame,” the band wasted no time in setting the tone for the evening – one of unadulterated excitement and musical prowess.
“War Machine” and “Fighting To Survive” followed suit, each track resonating with the crowd and igniting a collective sense of camaraderie among fans. But it was during “What’s Your Name” that the show transcended the typical concert experience. The artist, with infectious charisma, wandered through the crowd, personally engaging with audience members and making each person feel like an integral part of the performance.
The emotional depth of the evening reached its peak with “Who Am I,” a poignant tribute to the artist’s mother and her courageous battle with a brain tumour and dementia. As the heartfelt lyrics reverberated through the venue, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was a testament to the power of music to touch the soul and unite individuals in shared humanity.
As the night progressed, the energy remained palpable with hits like “Island In The Storm” and “Fear Is Cold” keeping the momentum alive. “Make You Proud” served as a reminder of the artist’s unwavering dedication to their craft and the unspoken promise to leave everything on the stage for their fans.
The show reached its zenith with “Racing Bullet,” a high-octane thrill ride of sound and spectacle that left hearts pounding and pulses racing. As the crowd clamoured for more, the band delivered one final surprise with “Hoe Street,” a special request from a member of the audience that perfectly encapsulated the spontaneity and magic of live music.
In summary, “Live, Loud & Ready” was more than just a concert; it was an experience. From the electrifying performances to the intimate moments of connection, every element came together to create a night that will be etched in the memories of all who were fortunate enough to be there. Audio in Glasgow may have been the venue, but the real magic was in the air – a testament to the enduring power of music to uplift, inspire, and unite.
