Excellent night. Wandered into Raffertys (which did used to be Raffles yonks ago). Realised that I didn't actually know anybody from this board, had a pint and took up my position in the Academy. First time I've been there - good venue. Watched the tv sets advertising up and coming gigs (anybody notice that Fish was followed a bit later by Walter Trout?)
The set was virtually what had been posted before. Thought Everlone was fab. Yes, Ginger was the quietest I've ever heard between songs but his voice was excellent. This was one of the best line ups and performances that I've seen. The whole thing about their enthusiasm and general being really 'happy' was obvious to all. There was a good crowd and they/we/I hung on their every chord.
Took someone who has never seen them or heard much by them and they loved them to bits.
Can't wait for them to come back at Xmas (as Ginger promised)
Outstanding.
Love this band
I'm a geordie in wonderland.
