TENACIOUS D

We didn't realise this would be the (possibly) last ever gig from Tenacious D! I had never seen them, Andrew had but we were hyped up. It was a great show. They sounded great. Like Jack Black's voice is truly outstanding. which you know but to hear it live is amazing. He puts his whole body and soul into the songs, but we were a little worried as he sounded so puffed into between each song when we spoke. But that aside, he was great. Kyle Glass is an exceptional guitarist and a great singer too and really adds to what is essentially the Jack Black experience. The set list was impressive and the songs morphed into bits and stand-up etc.

About 7 songs in things got wild. A metal robot brought in a birthday cake as it was Kyle's birthday. They were super hyped and Jack asked him to make a wish and at first he wouldn't share but when he did he brought the house down. Earlier that day we had found out that someone had tried to assassinate Trump (depending on how you look at it!) so Kyle's wish was not to miss Trump next time. Everyone cracked up, us included. No one seemed at all bothered. The show carried on.

There was videos, a hilarious one supporting the cover of Wicked Game, and a blow up devil, and loads of jokes and fun. We loved it.

It wasn't until the next day we heard about the kerfuffle with some twat from the right (I cannot even remember their name and refuse to google it, what fuckwittage) suggesting they go home. The tour ends and they go home, WTAF!!?? Black is accused of leaving Gass under the bus, and the whole thing has a smear to it that is not great. It kind of took the shine off the concert at first, now we just smile we were at something so historic and really not at all bad. It was a throwaway comment, we all had been making all day. I hope The D get back together at some point.
