Avril Lavigne, Hammersmith Apollo 21.9.11


This was delayed by 45 minutes. An announcement said it was due to a car failure, though Avril later revealed on her twitter account it was security breach that made her fear for her life. Back to being a band gig rather than a Britney style show, Avril is supporting her rather fine Goodbye Lullaby album. The single What The Hell is played early on as was early hit Skaterboi. Wish You Were Here was another highlight. In the middle she covers Coldplays Fix You, which was ok, though not my favourite song. No costume changes but she took a leave from the stage every so often leaving her band playing instrumental versions of some album tracks such as Unw. In the encore she also look disinterested, espeically during Complicated though again via Twitter, it was because she lost her voice. A good night that could be better was my verdict. Hopefully she'll keep the band part of the show and be on stage for all of it next time, voice in tact.

Set - Black Star / What The Hell / Smile / Skaterboi / He Wasn't / Airplanes - My Happy Ending / I Always Get What I Want / Alice / When You're Gone / Fix You / Wish You Were Here / Unwanted (Instrumental) / Girlfriend / Don't Tell Me / I'm With You //// Complicated
