The Kings of Leon rock! (The greatest band on earth) however last night they rocked for approximately 80 minutes which was a huge disappointment considering it was my first time to watch the band live.
Wembley Arena was a rocking, a full house… 12,000 screaming fans in attendance.
The Kings played mostly hits from their latest album "Because Of the Times" (9 songs to be precise)… "Knocked Up" "Fans" and "Black Thumbnail" among being the best performed.
Classic tracks from the second album such as "The Bucket", "Slow night, So long" and "Milk" and "Taper Jean girl" were the major highlights for me.
A surprising choice of songs from the first album as "Holy Roller Novacaine"
And "Razz" was played however "Trani" was played to perfection and had the crowd appreciating Caleb's amazing vocals.

The night was a great one but some massive tracks were not performed such as "True Love Way", "California Waiting", and "Genius" and "Soft" were left out.

The Kings ended with "Charmer" which for me isn’t the appropriate song to end their entire UK tour… I would have loved an anthem like "True Love Way" to end the concert.

The highlight for me was when the entire crowd was singing the chorus of "The Bucket"…. Just imagine 12,000 people singing…."18, balding, star, golden falling hard" Just amazing.

Another highlight was when the Kings executed the great track "Fans"… (The lyrics of the song related to us London fans) as Caleb sang directly to the London audience, the arena went wild.

Caleb's vocals were flawless, songs sounded just as they do on albums, performances were lively, energetic and authentic… and I'm an even greater admirer of the underrated Followill boys.

It was sweet, it was short but it was a memorable night, and I will never forget my first time with the Kings of Leon.

They still rock and I can't wait till they return to London.
