69th time seeing Frank Turner Halloween night in Prague, Halloween last year was the start of a personal nightmare of a year, so this gig could not have been better timed. My favourite artist in a city I love with one of my oldest friends and a ragtag group I've become acquainted with over the last decade or so......
Which is why I was broken by the fact that the first four songs had an atrocious sound mix, where the keyboardists vocals were louder than Frank's, and then he had to stop and restart the sixth song, one of his biggest hits photosynthesis, because the pit security decided not to actually stand in the middle....
This led to Frank very clearly calling an audible that he would be cutting out his crowd surf/walk from the last song, leading to a slightly tense next 2 songs, with the sleeping souls carrying the weight of the gig while Frank was slightly off with his timing.
An incredible band and an energetic crowd who hadn't seen him in 6 years seemed to give him a second wind, and a couple of setlist staples and a very well received deep cut set up the second act, a couple of Frank solo songs and then the sleeping souls melting faces, a formula that's worked night in night out for 15 years, and everyone seemed to go home happy.
Live music is an incredible entity, I could literally chart the last year of my life in this gig, **** start, aggression, support, needing to do some of it by yourself and finally finding comfort in the familiar, but for the 5 lads on stage it was just a Thursday, and that's why it's the best thing in the world.
