Florence + The Machine Concert

On Monday (the 14th) I went to the best concert of my entire life so far - Florence + the Machine. It was at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow & I had been waiting to see this band since I was 12, and they are important to me. The gig was unforgettable, and I wish I could go back to it.

The support act was a band of three sisters called the Staves, who were excellent. They have an album out & everyone should go check it out!
But the moment that Florence came on was a heavenly one. The other members of the band, or the 'machine' came onstage, and my love for them came flooding back. Rob, the guitar player was wearing a white shirt and black jacket and he just looked the the coolest guy ever. Then Isa, the pianist and Flo's best friend came on. Then came Tom the harpist, Mark the Bassist and Chris the Drummer. Then Florence came on the crowd cheered and screamed as their idol was standing metres away from them. The band opened with 'What the Water gave me' which is one my favourite songs.

The thing I love the most about Florence is her happy & carefree attitude, not to mention her voice. But I love how she is herself all the time and she seems like the kind of person everyone would want to have as a friend.
When she played 'Rabbit Heart', she got the whole crowd (even those who were sitting) up on their feet and dancing. It was an amazing moment. Then she climbed up on the barriers in front of the crowd for those who were lucky enough to be in the front row. I was in the 6th row, but it was still really close to the front.

In the concert she played many songs from her new album such as 'Ship to Wreck' and 'Delilah' but she also played her classics. When she played 'Dog Days are Over' the crowd went mental, and it was a really amazing atmosphere. She went of for five minutes & the crowd began chanting for her to come back on and do some more songs. So they all came back on and played 'What Kind of Man' from the new album. Hearing Rob's guitar in this live was something I'll never forget and the crowd was one of the best concert crowds I've been in. This was truly an unforgettable night & to everyone who is still to see her - you're gonna LOVE it!
