We tried to have dinner at Loomies, but the kitchen had closed just before we
got there (an hour before the café closing time - need to remember for the
future). We then went to the Caffeine & machine pub opposite - the food
was limited but OK and expensive for what it was.
We arrived in Portsmouth still too early, but there was queues back up to the
M27, so no panic. Then, to waste time, we went down to the seafront at
Southsea, and back that allowed us to enter the parking.
Around to the guildhall square and wait for the doors to open. After a
while we went in and discovered a pop music museum which allowed us to waste
the remaining time to door open.
Once we could get in we found our seats and did some serious people watching
as the crowd moved in.
The show started at 8pm and was in two sections - first a Hackett solo hits
section followed by a break. After the break into the Genesis Lamb lies down
on Broadway revisit section, and finally an encore.
Apart from the seat being a little uncomfortable after several hours we had
reasonable viewing of the stage. The lightshow was spectacular with lots of
lights, and the sound was also good, with the exception of the bass pedals
which reverberated a lot on the bottom notes.
