01/11/2011 – Tinie Tempah @ Newcastle Metro Radio Arena
Posted by admin on Tuesday Nov 1, 2011 Under Featured Categories, Past gigs
I’ve been waiting for this moment since I first heard ‘Pass Out’ nearly a year and a half ago. Tonight – the Wonderman himself is here to play, and it’s the gig I’ve been most looking forward to in 2011 !
Bursting onto the stage via a trapdoor, Tinie came out of the blocks on fire, bathed in a sea of backlit Pyro. Launching from ‘Simply Unstoppable’ into chart hit ‘Frisky’, Tinie shows why he is one of the most saught after acts in the UK and US. You can see the desire burning in his eyes, and he means every single word that passes from his lips.
We get the big guns from the debut album. ‘Written in the Stars’, ‘Invincible’ and crossover smash ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’, but it’s the other songs, the growers that prove Mr Tempah is a class act. There’s not one moment of filler here. My favourite three songs are delivered amazingly well (‘Illusion’, ‘Till I’m Gone’ and the ridiculously amazing ‘Wonderman’) before we got the acoustic ballad ‘Love Suicide’, ‘Earthquake’ (the collab with Labyrinth) and then the finale of ‘Pass Out’.
Stunning stuff, gig of the year hands down.
