The countdown is on to the final show on Saturday, but right now the focus is on the 4th from last show at the O2 Ritz in Manchester. Ticket sales have been steady all along for this one with
a great swathe of last minute ticket buyers who had to see the band again because they had such an amazing experience seeing them already on this tour.
With every tour you see many familiar faces standing outside at the start of the evening, but you also see many new faces and a growing number of youngsters who have been influenced by their father and grandfather’s record collection.
One thing you can be guaranteed at a Daisies live show is that you will be entertained! Whether it’s by the virtuoso guitar playing of Doug Aldrich, the thunderous drumming of Tommy Clufetos or having your funny bone tickled or being told you had to sing the next line by the master of ceremonies, Mr John Corabi. You are going to go home with a big smile on your face.
Tonight was no different, as the band from start to finish kept blasting out magnificent song after song from the new ones like ‘Light ‘Em Up’ and ‘I’m Gonna Ride’ to Daisies classics like ‘Mexico’ and ‘Long Way to Go’! With a final bow after the Beatles ‘Helter Skelter’, the band left the stage to the biggest roar of approval yet! Next up, it’s Swansea in Wales!
