Magnum

Robin 2, Bilston

5 December 2014

All of my dreams that fell through
and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind
for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long
by this strange fascination
Here as I stand in the crowd...

It's 29 years since my first Magnum concert (which I know makes me a relative late starter, but...). 29 years later, Magnum gigs are still the highlight of the year.

Of all the different gigs I see, the atmosphere at a Magnum concert is unique and special. Standing in a crowd singing The Spirit is magical. We love this band, and I believe they love us too.

That's all I'm going to write, because doing a blow-by-blow, song-by-song account wouldn't do it justce. Wouldn't convey how how special a Magnum gig is.

You'll just have to believe me when I say this was the best concert I've ever seen.

To throw Bob's parting words back at him: Thank you for tonight, thank you for all the years, and thank you in advance for the next time.
