Lacuna Coil are one of my favourite bands and I was really excited to see them. Again I arrived a little late and the first support (Katatonia) were about half way through. They sounded good and I definitely plan to check them out.
I managed to wiggle my way to close to the front for the start of Lacuna Coil, but unfortunately had a very tall and very active guy standing in front of me so for the first couple of songs I was constantly trying to avoid an elbow to the face. However I managed to move away from him and I could see much better after that.
They played really well and the sound was close to perfect. They were very friendly and energetic and Cristina and Andrea shared the interaction with the crowd well, which I had wondered how they would do.
I was a little disappointed with the crowd's enthusiasm. Other than the nuts guy in front of me nobody was really moving around much and I heard a few people shouting for Paradise Lost to come on and that they were bored with Lacuna Coil, which upset me a bit. It would be nice if people who weren't interested wouldn't spoil it for the people who are.
That said I had a great time and I'm definitely going to try and get tickets next time they tour as headliners.
