Lifestyle: Lily Allen Concert
Posted on Friday, 5 December 2014
November 30th saw Lily Allen come down to Portsmouth to play the final show on her UK leg of the Sheezus tour.
After discussing how awesome it would be to see her live with my friend Matt over the summer we both jumped at this opportunity to see her in our adopted hometown of Portsmouth.
On the week of the show I did nothing but eat, sleep and think Lily Allen! Listening to her Sheezus album non stop and falling in love with the album!! My personal favs have to be 'URL Badman', 'L8 Cmmr', 'As Long As I Got You', 'Miserable Without Your Love' & 'Silver Spoon'.
The gig was amazing! Portsmouth Guildhall was the perfect venue as it wasn't too big but it wasn't too small either, so even though we were near the back I could still see clearly and DAMN was Lily looking good.. Life Goals right thur!
Her staging was amazing! She had giant baby bottles across the stage and on the walls and they served as lighting effects.
She played a few of her older hits like 'LDN', 'Smile', 'The Fear' and many more. I loved when she played 'Everyone's At It' as the beat is just one you want to jump around and dance crazy too, and the rearrangement of 'Smile' where she broke it down to a reggae/rave vibe.
She played her cover of Keane's song 'Somewhere Only We Know' which had me and Matt swaying along to it and just being in the moment.
As it was her last date on the UK leg of her tour, all her crew members came out during 'Who'd Have Known' and gave her single roses (per person) which was super sweet.
She even bought up on stage two members of the crowd during 'Fuck You' which I was super jealous about, but the people she picked were hilarious (mainly a lovely girl named Jess who apparently had partaken in a bit of the Mary-Jane)
Here's a video I took of Lily performing 'URL Badman'...
It's almost been a week but I still have Lily withdrawls. This lady has further proved why she is one of my fav singers and is a bonafide MILF! T'was a great gig to finish off the year!
