Manchester this week to see Maroon 5 at the MEN and I was expecting pop rock. The expected running with a skip in your step was provide in the Chris Martin style which was nice to see. A classic move. At one point the lead singer and the drummer were belting out beats on the a couple of sets of drums and it was amazing. It was the intro to "A Little Of Your Time". I thought Elbow were good with their flashing lights/drums repertoire but this was very uptempo and made me want to samba. Although last time I danced in the salsa style, Hermione, who had come to the Gbar with me, compared me to a country dancer. So I didn't samba. I am no Colin Jackson.
Too many references in this post. Here are some nice photos taken while putting my zoom lens to good use from the back of the gig.
