The Who at Wembley Stadium

Let's face it Wembley Stadium is just one of the worst venues in London to see a gig but when I was offered a free ticket (yes! free!) to see The Who, I could grin and bare it to see old Roger and Pete play live again, even from the back of such a vast stadium. If there's anyone whose music could fill a place as big as this, well, it has to be The Who.

Eddie Vedder at Hammersmith Apollo (Night 2)

After the emotional nature of last night's show I really didn't know what to expect of Eddie's second night in London. Thankfully it was less sombre: I think a weight had been lifted from his shoulders after his difficult tribute to his friend Chris Cornell during the previous show. Obviously there were still sad moments but it was clear Vedder was using his music as a tool to heal tonight.
