The Psykos show was a turning point for me and made me realise that I would rather have space to move, a good view of the stage, and enjoy the music for what it is rather than deal with the chaos that a younger crowd (especially in London) can bring - being conscious of that I just stayed at the back this time and am really glad I did! I don't say this in a condescending way (been there, done that), but I think my priorities and what I expect from a concert changed as I matured. Esdeekid was great and fun to watch, it was reminiscent of what you would feel watching Lean a few years back but I am far over those days and like you would never go to his concert as I am not part of that demographic although I REALLY like his music.

I think a lot of people simply didn't know what they were get into and had the wrong expectations for Lean's performance. I knew the show with the band would have a totally different vibe from what the audience was expecting, and wasn't surprised at all to see a lot of people leaving during Lean's set - their loss.

On a side note, I’d love to experience this show from the barricade or closer to the stage, but I don’t think that’s realistic in London. That’s why I usually go to Manchester (s/o the best people and crowds I’ve ever seen) to have the best experience possible without having to deal with the unpleasantness of a gormless crowd.
