The best concerts are often the one's you least expect, and such was the case here. On the face of it, watching the former singer of Queensryche celebrate the 35th anniversary of one of the greatest Metal albums of all time was frought with potential disappointment, but in actual fact, despite the packed venue and oppressive heat this turned out to be the best gig I have seen in years. Certainly the best since Voivod in 2018 and easily one of the best ever.
The band did a good job of recreating the Queensryche sound, only really slipping up once - with a slightly butchered version of 'Waiting for 22', but that aside it was pretty mesmerising and in all honesty a massive surprise. I certainly don't think I would have travelled far to see this show, so it was lucky it was only 45 minutes away in Nuneaton!
