Alloway Grove started us & Last Request ended the gig, inbetween we had some of the new songs mixed with the old & Down in Mexico.I had moved away from the barrier by the time Paolo started singing this but i stood in front of the big screen to listen in, This is truly (in my opinion) one of the best cover he's ever done.

Paula,

I loved your review! Thanks for sharing it. I agree with you on Down In Mexico being one of the best of Paolo's covers, I bet you will regret this move from the barrier for awhile yet. I know I would.

Thanks for posting Jelly. Paolo does appear similar to Johnny Depp here... Not a bad thing, though... I'm a Johnny Depp fan, love his acting, and he's very nice to look at as a bonus! I've been partial to seeing Paolo in a vest since T in the Park this past summer. I was really impressed by his look there. I'm liking the new clothing choices he's making, too. Nice to have a little more variety. But, no matter what he decides to wear this next tour, I'll be okay with it, I'm just always happy to see him!

Oh, and I love Benny and Joon, too.

He could show up in sackcloth and ashes and make it look good.
My writing partner is an avid Johnny Depp Fan, so I would have been remiss not to have put that together. LOL!

30 December 2008

So after a long drive south in sub-zero temperatures we finally arrived in Glasgow. En route to the city-centre we swung by Celtic Park to check out the recently-unveiled statue commemorating Jinky Johnstone:



After checking into our hotel (Campanile) we went for a walk by the Clyde. Here's Son of Schneckie on the Squinty Bridge with Clydeport, the Armadillo and a big wheel in the background:



Clyde reflections:



I am vaguely obsessed with the Clyde Auditorium (Armadillo). Love it. Reminds me of pac-man here:



Geezo, how beautiful is this city? Clydeport and the Clyde Arc/Squinty Bridge:



Seriously, did a modern office-building ever look so good??



Hogmanay pics to follow...

Wow, those are great pictures, Schneckie. It does look like a beautiful city and the Clyde Auditorium is such an interesting building. By the way, Son of Schneckie looks quite tall.

nice pics Schneckie

Wow, Shneckie, those are lovely. Do you do photography for a living? If not, you should. You've got the eye for it.

Thanks for the reviews, pics and vids!

I found this video that was just uploaded:

A shade under 6' 2" Michelle - so yeah, pretty tall. (Most modern kids seem to be bloody giants, don't they??)

Jelly I'm not a photographer and know next to nothing about photography, but I do like taking photos

>> Have you been inside the Armadillo? I've only walked past it to get to hall 4 <<

No, I've never been in it either - but have walked past it to Hall 4! I just love the building though. I always get a kick out of seeing it, if only from the M8 when driving by! Glad you liked the pics
