THUNDER ! " 20 years and out " tour.a packed out Wolverhampton Civic last night bad a fond farewell to this vastly under-rated band, who finish today.
They came out to the rousing chorus of AC//DCs 'Thunderstruck' - had the house rocking from that moment on. Then, straight into 'Backstreet Symphony', and just kept it going.
A truly great gig which will live in the memory, and climaxed with 'Dirty Love' - everybody on the balcony out of their seats at that point in a huge tidal wave of emotion.
Thanks for the memories guys - and the very best of luck in all of your future plans

JON ANDERSON , last night at the Robin 2 , Bilston. this was special
2 sets and 2 encores.
And you would never have known that Jon was coming back from illness. He hit all of the notes, even the high ones, powerfully and with ease, no strain at all.
Great backing from the audience, in fact maybe a little too much at times - a real singalong, but Jon absolutely loved it, encouraging the audience, and chipping in with the odd joke and a story here and there.
The fans getting into 'Roundabout' (during the 1st encore) was an experience to behold.

UFO + Toxic Federation, last night at the Wulfrun, Wolverhampton.

MIKE SANCHEZ AND THE PORTIONS ,
at the Robin club last night. Usual high energy performance from Mike and the band, who will be touring Germany and Switzerland next week.
Any of our members who are in those localities could do a lot worse than go along and see how early rock n roll should be done

It's a shame that many people forget, or aren't even aware of the fact, that ancient peoples celebrated this time of the year long before Christians hijacked it for their festive season and took it over.
Im having a pagan winter solstice festive celebration this year. No mention of Jesus, but just a lot of drinking, eating, merrymaking and celebrating the longer days just around the corner.
Might even take a wander up to the bronze age tumulis on the hilltops here in reflection.
indeed, the ancient pagans of northern Europe celebrated their god Mithras on December 25th.they celebrated their winter solstice festivals by decorating their trees with food, magic runes and other items symbolic of their beliefs. And they cemented their friendships by giving each other gifts.
some time later, the Christian Church came along and persecuted such ways of life. Thus, the pagans were forced to take their trees, and other rituals indoors - traditions which of course most of us continue and enjoy to this day.

well now, where to start. just got back from tonight's gig - it was Ricky Cool, a night of celebration, from The Robin 2 club, Bilston.
Ricky, thanks for putting this show together, you are a star. Great performances on harmonica, sax and vocals.
And very well supported by your local chums I might add, let's give them ALL a mention - Mike Sanchez, Ian Jennings, Andy Silvester, John Spinetto, Jim Hickman, Ernie Chattaway, Kev O'Neil and Keith Evans. Yes, these boys can really play, and did you proud.
And there was one other ...... not mentioned on the bill, but I tell you this man is talented. His name is Robert Anthony Plant, and does he sing a great Rock and Roll song. In fact, Mr Page, if you require a vocalist, give this fellow a tryout. (A few people behind me tell me the footage will be on YouTube tomorrow - if so, judge for yourself).
Great night Ricky, you are a local legend
... oh, and Robert is STILL God It's just after midnight, I'm off to bed, night all, sweet dreams...

Ginger baker must be an iron man - to be hit with a rock, and not to roll.
I wonder if it was Roy who snuk back into the audience and pelted him with that, BTW

Hya ZW good to meet up with you. It was a great show, the highlight of many great songs for me was Dear Mr Fantasy Winwood was excellent on the guitar on that song. so good in fact a woman fainted
yes, fainted right in front of us during the encore - hopefully no lasting damage whoever it was.
must admit, the Spencer Davis numbers were my own highlights
-
So pleased you enjoyed the show and met up with the birthday boy I saw Winwood a few months ago and I was floored. 2 hours straight and he sounded fantastic. The band were amazing as well.
sounds like a carbon copy of last night's
-
just got back from seeing Steve Winwood at the Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton.
Excellent performances from him and each member of the band - SW has still got the lot, no question.
Great time had by all, including ledded1, on his birthday. (Many happy returns once again, and thanks for the lift).
Nite all

QSM a very decent performance last night at The Robin club, but there's no peace for the wicked, so tonight it's the turn of Andy Fairweather Low - I'm just off to see that, see you all later.
-
I don't have one in the pipeline at the moment, but my wish list for the next year is AC/DC, VAN HALEN and any Zep related gigs those choices go onto my list for sure, leddy

as for Jon's future , based on what we all saw he has more than just the option of his (old ?) band, let's put it that way.
