APFS - The Anvil Basingstoke



It was good to see this great band in a smaller venue. It was a complete sell-out and deservedly so. The personnel may be constantly evolving, but the quality of musicianship and visuals are always top notch.


They played a wide range of stuff with an emphasis on songs from the newer albums.


Once or twice they went a bit too far in delivering their own interpretations for my liking. I still prefer performances that are closer to the original.


They managed to fit in a 30' inflatable 'teacher' (The Wall) and then this huge inflatable Kangaroo of course. A great rocking experience. I'm looking forward to Roger Waters performing The Wall at the O2 in May!
