Title: Ok then, "Last band you saw Live"
Post by: thebillet on March 30, 2013, 09:19:49 AM: As mentioned by lotty.

We saw Robert Cray in March this year at Nottingham, a superb blues technician who was excellent. Previously we saw Jools Holland and his orchestra at the same venue, he struck me as a really nice guy, bigging up all those around him.

However I must admit it is all a bit clinical these days, you know the score when the show starts at 7.30, you get a honest trier on first for half an hour then a break for drinks, the main act does an hour and a quarter then exits the stage 15 minutes before the end then an encore and we all stream out to the car park. In days of old I remember drinking at the bar with some of the acts after they finished.

Ho hum, must be getting old.

I first saw Ian Dury with Kilburn and the High Roads in 1973 and about 25 times since, culminating with his 'final' performance at The Palladium in London - a diamond geezer and a terrific wordsmith. Still see The Blockheads as often as possible, fabulous musicians.

had a love affair with Nina
in the back of my Cortina
a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
she took me to the cleaners
and other misdemeanours
but I got right up between her
rum and her Ribena
