Steve Vai and his band leave the now-standing, ever-loving crowd sonically spent, having pumped out more notes in one night than most bands will in a year.

They return swiftly for an expected encore and continue their relatable positivity with an all acoustic singalong to Down This Road and Addicted, leaving each fan truly satisfied.

Far too quickly, it’s time for the last song, the powerful All Is Whole, which hits you right inside your chest and forces your heart into your throat. Let’s not leave it so long between drinks next time please Lawrence.

For many in the room, it seems an intimate taste of Gomez through Ben Ottewell is as good as Gomez itself.

It’s a shame that more people weren’t on hand to witness the iconic Youth Of Today. Sure, they’re in semi-retirement these days, but based on the passionate performance they delivered, Youth Of Today remain at the top of their game.
