I also had the opportunity this week to see Snow Patrol at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. A group of friends and I had standing tickets for the show and opted to remain back a little from the stage, which was beneficial for us because we were able to get the full experience of the stage production.
Snow Patrol are a great band live, putting a lot of heart into each song and Gary Lightbody has such a huge stage presence, engaging with the crowd throughout the concert, and all this was only increased by the fact that they were playing in their hometown. You could feel the appreciation the band have for all their fans and the crowd was only too happy to reciprocate, even taking over the singing duties once or twice, ‘Chasing Cars’ rang out around the arena like a National Anthem at a football match final.
The production itself was amazing, with great lighting and edgy camera work projecting the crowd and the band’s faces on screens at the back of the stage.
It all added to a great concert and an overall great performance that ended with a promise being made between the fans and Mr. Lightbody that with whatever opportunity came our way, we would ‘Just Say Yes’. Not even the fight that broke out beside us could dampen our mood. It is most definitely not the last Snow Patrol concert for me.
