...until tonight. This was the result of an outstanding performance by Phillip Bailey of 'Reasons' an Earth Wind and Fire track that I've never really cared for but his vocal performance of that song at the Wembley gig just about had me in tears as it was just stunning. It may have been partly due to him including an extract from 'Over The Rainbow' in the song but this was just one of the many highlights of Earth Wind and Fire's performance tonight. The musicians were on top form, most notably bassist Verdin White whose white shirt and green trousers reminded me of Andre 3000 in the video for Outkast's 'Hey Ya'.
It all went pretty quickly as they were done by around 9:30pm and on getting back to campus I headed straight to the Underpants for a few drinks before the Doctors and Nurses night at Area 51. There was a bit of a revelation between two of the presenters on Smoke who had a go at me on air apparently for not telling them about the Earth Wind and Fire gig that they would have loved to have been at. They apologised to me though and although I haven't actually heard what they said I doubt I will take it too seriously.
This week is certainly tugging at the heart as my first year at uni is coming to an end and it will be really sad to say goodbye to people, in some cases permantley as Aussie Ashlee's heading to Lithuania next week. Definitley one of the most lively people I've met at Uni and I'm looking forward to what she and everyone else will be wearing at tomorrow's Smoke Radio awards at a posh hotel in Harrow!
