Saturday 13th Dec at Glasgow SECC and the final night of their tour and this was just something special.
They played some of their stuff from their new album which sounded pretty neat but this gig was a trip and a half with lasers zapping above our heads and the huge background screen pumping out a crazed melee of images which perfectly reflected the rage of the music on stage.
But it was really when Swastika Eyes started that the place went into a frenzy. Wow! F%$@*
it was truly mind-blowin. Guitars screamin, drums thumpin and a hurricane of images and lights. It really was mental.
In the main, the crowd were up for it and able to take breathers inbetween some of the mellower tracks but it didn't take long for the pace to crank up again.
Bobby Gillespie seemed out of it for a while but as the gig progressed he seemed to respond a bit more to the crowd, but the guitar work was phenomenal. Just shows that a band isn't made up of the lead singer. These guys played their instruments like there was no tomorrow.
For the encore, Country Girl was given a real thrashin but it was the final track that was just wicked. It was Accelerator, I think, and it was sheer white noise as it peaked to a crescendo.
This definately ranked as one of the best gigs I'd seen and if you get the chance to see them do not miss the opportunity.
As for me, my mate Davey and my son? Well it took us a few hours to come back to earth and the ringing in our ears to stop.

I captured a bit on video with my camera. A bit shaky but it'll give you an idea. It's in mpeg-4.
