Shed Seven
Barrowland
Glasgow
2nd December, 2011
Rating: 5/5
This was an outstanding performance of top notch rock and roll from the kings of indie nostalgia, in the only venue that can match the enthusiasm of the band to the fervor of an 18-rated audience.
Despite a slow entrance with Parallel Lines that confused the hell out everyone, the mighty Shed went on to blow the roof off the place with a dynamite set that included all the expected floor shakers.
They hammered into Where Have You Been Tonight, delighted the hard core with Bully Boy, and caused mayhem with Dolphin. All the favourites were there as Rick Witter and has merry band of York brothers went for it big style: Going for Gold, On Standby, Disco Down, and the mosh-pit fanatic’s favourite, Getting Better.
A surprise cover of The Smiths Panic! re-introduced them after a short encore, as much for the fans benefit as the band, before the standard closer of Chasing Rainbows was belted out with the top approval of an audience that never lets go of the baton for the entire time Shed Seven are on stage.
