Edinburgh Corn Exchange

After a really long queue, and the security check, I managed to get in the concert hall. People were already shouting and dancing at the beats of the Dj, warming up the crowd before Pendulum's live performance. The first rows were packed of teenagers, waiting to see the musicians as close as possible. I decided to be more in the middle to enjoy a good stereo image from the speakers and a nice view of the band.
When they started playing there was literally no space for dancing, but I wanted to be there, with all their passionate fans. It's recommended to jump at the time of the ones beside you no to be smashed.
The venue has an excellent sound and lights system, what added to the perfect execution of the musicians made an impeccable show.
They played many songs from the album "Hold Your Colour" like "Fasten Your Seatbelt" or "Slam", Prodigy's remix "Voodoo People", and the last CD single "The other Side" between others.
I was allowed to go up to the balcony at the back of the hall where the view of the stage and the multitude enjoying the music was spectacular, close to what the band is able to feel from the stage.
I really enjoy the show and not only myself, definitely a band to see, they managed to open their Drum'n'Bass sound to a larger audience while not falling into mainstream.
The concert finished after 90 minutes of excellent beats and outstanding tunes.
