"It was the first one of the day/It was the last one of the night..."

Beautiful song, and a real treat to hear it live, as it doesn't happen as often as one might like. Unfortunately some people near me thought it was perfect fodder for talking loudly over. You'd think they could just go off to the bar or something if they don't know a song, or they don't like it, or they've got terribly important things to say that are louder than the artist that everyone else has paid to see. And if they really prefer to chat, why in f**kery have they paid £20 each to do so? See that poor kid freezing on the pavement outside a sold out RF? That's his place you've taken, chatty person.

Meanwhile my camera seems to be going nuts, which was probably me trying to avoid chatty persons. Bah.

That aside, it's very beautiful. Enjoy.
