| I knew the link and don't mind the song actually, but the song didn't really fit with the rest of the setlist. |

| The Pretty Things are playing the 100 Club on Friday 5th December. The tour they keep talking about I think is 6 dates, 3 in UK, probably all London, and 3 in Europe somewhere. They are also playing the Isle Of Wight on Friday October 24, but is not part of that tour I understand. |

I saw The Pretty Things a few years back, they were excellent but would enjoy seeing them again, I'll look out for the dates |

| Yes LK he is, the core of the band at the moment is Dick Taylor, Phil May and Frank Holland. George Perez is on base and Jack Greenwood on drums. I posted this link on the Too Old To Rock? thread(you must have missed it) - http://www.rockpalast.de/video.phtml?id=the_pretty_things |

My partner's just rejoined his old band, Animals and Men, so will be seeing them soon as they have a gig in London on the 29th October.
I have my doubts they will appeal to many on here though

Saw Brian Auger's Obliviom Express at the Jazz Cafe last night, brilliant keyboardist.
Also saw Stephen Still earlier this month at the Shepherds Bush Empire, great solo acoustic set which ended with a superb Suite Judy Blue Eyes, electric set pretty good as well. He looked much better than when I saw him in CSN at the Hammersmith a couple of years back, lost a lot of weight, in good voice and some wonderful guitar playing.

| I saw Stephen Stills too. In fantastic form and really enjoyed the gig. Also saw Stevie Winwood who was simply magnificent. Those old Traffic songs still sound just as wonderful as they ever did. |

This week with Tina as our Not the Baby Lemonade Tour we saw Feeder, Gabrielle and Al Green along with a lot of snow in Birmingham. Greta great and amazing.
Last week it was the Tom Waits Project - Mercy and Grand show which was great too.
Keep on shining |

Not a band but we saw 'Cabaret' in Bath last week, it was a good show but I think I was spoilt when I saw it last year, in London, with Julian Clary in the role of 'Emcee', he was perfect.
Our next gig is 'Mercury Rev' in Bristol on November 12th. Guess we may just catch some music when in Cuba from 16th November... |

I see Lizzy has got in before me. Feeder was unexpected in that a friend's daughter had some tix she couldn't use at short notice - not quite my thing but much appreciated by the sell-out crowd.
Al Green was great in a snowy Birmingham - he was lamenting about how he never saw places, he just got off the plane and was driven to the hotel and then driven to the venue, but he did say he'd seen the snow. Tremendous band (14 people in total on stage), one of those horn sections consisting of old guys in caps who've been around since the year dot and know their stuff backwards, some great backing singers and two brilliant loose-limbed male dancers. Loved it.
Also Gabrielle in support after she told us a number of years of not performing, very good.

| Low in Manchester. I recommend support band Ida, who I'd not heard anything of pre-gig. They played a really fine version of Richard Thompson's 'For Shame Of Doing Wrong'. Low have been on a three date UK mini-tour, playing their revered 'Christmas' mini album in it's entirety. For this, Ids returned to the stage to form a seven piece, and the result was truly sublime. The three song encore, which included a heartfelt cover of Lennon's 'Merry Christmas (War Is Over), was pretty damn good too. What was particularily heartening was the number of people there, like me in their late 40's/early 50's, not stuck in a time warp, enjoying adventurous music played by people quite a bit younger than themselves. While I think that there are a lot of dull, middling, derivative acts around at the moment, there are a few who continue to make my gig going a real pleasure, and Low very definitely fit into that category. One of my gigs of the year, up there with Mr Young. Cohen's next on 30/11. Bound to be a letdown : ) |
