On Saturday, I was at the best gig of my life so far. I went to see my current favourite band, Peace, at Glasgow's QMU. The venue itself wasn't the best, and it would've been better at the Arches (Rest in Peace) but that didn't take away from Peace's ability to put on a brilliant gig.
My friend and I managed to get right at the front, at the left hand side. The first support band was called Yak, and their music was wild and noisy, still good though. Then after Yak went off, Splashh came on, I already liked Splashh before this, so I knew a lot of the songs. They were excellent, and I met them at the end of the night.
Splashh came off and everyone was getting excited as it was only a matter off time until Peace came on. Someone spotted Sam through a gap in the curtains that were covering the backstage area and the crowd quickly noticed and became even more excited. Then the band came on and broke into "O You". Lead singer Harry Koisser was wearing tartan trousers - suitable for where he was playing!
The setlist was one of the best, and it included 'Bloodshake', '1998' which was phenomenal live, 'Wraith' and 'Follow Baby'. The band also played a few acoustic songs, which was something they'd never done on tour before. The final song was 'World Pleasure' and it finished with the legendary bass solo from Sam Koisser. The audience chanted 'SAM SAM SAM SAM' as he flawlessly played the solo, creating the perfect finish for the gig.
After the gig, many lucky fans (not including me sadly) met the members.
Overall, it was an AMAZING gig and I'm saddened that I now have to wait a long time to see them again!
