<\/p>\n\n\n\nEven better, though, were California Breed. I\u2019ve been hearing a lot of these on Planet Rock<\/a> – they\u2019re a \u201csupergroup\u201d consisting of Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, and Andrew Watt. Glenn Hughes played with Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and was also a member of Black Country Communion (whom I never got to see before they split). I guess it was only fitting that they ended their set with the Deep Purple song Burn. Guitarist, Andrew Watt, was a revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slash and Myles Kennedy were on fire, though. The set list was as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Encore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s funny when you think about it. Slash pisses around playing solos, and lesser bands piss around doing absolutely nothing between songs. Slash was polished, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Arena was taking no prisoners that night, either. They were doing body scans outside, and they\u2019d obviously confiscated some very unusual items (including half bottles of whisky). I decided to take my camera in in full view, and they didn\u2019t give a damn – they were more interested in the signal my business card wallet was giving on the hand scanner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, yeah. And this was my first visit to the Leeds Arena since the Edward Street\/UKCPS car park scam<\/a> I was involved in about a year ago. This time I used another car park a short distance away from the arena and was in and out with no delays whatsoever. And parking only cost \u00a35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great night. The only hiccup was that I got home at 1.30am and had to get up again at 5.00am to pick a pupil up at 6.30am for an 8.10am test. I\u2019d told him he\u2019d better bloody pass getting me up at that time. Fortunately, he did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ![\"California](\"https:\/\/www.diaryofanadi.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/glenn_hughes.jpg\" "\\"California")

Newer bands (like The Pretty Reckless, mentioned previously<\/a>) should take note. Here we have 20 songs with an average timing of over 4 minutes, so a minimum playing time of 80 minutes. Add to that the various Slash solos – including one that was 10 minutes or more – and you have value for money… with knobs on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
