August 4th 1979 and I was at Knebworth

I have an evening with Santana tonight.

It's The Who tonight

13 is top of the UK album charts this week

My June gigs are: 8th - Joe Satriani 11th - Bonnie Raitt 20th - Bruce Springsteen 25th - ZZ Top 28th - The Who A busy month but one or two decent shows lined up.

Joe Satriani - 8th June

Well I'm not Rush's biggest fan but they do put on a good live show. They have a 7 piece string ensemble with them on this tour. They play the second part of the show with the band. I enjoyed the show, good light and film show to support the music but as with Clockwork angels the films/animation does take a bit of understanding, but that's nothing new with Rush anyway. Worth seeing this tour if you can..

Saw Rush tonight.

Saw them live tonight in Birmingham ( UK)

I bought mine when it was issued. Nice to have.

Mark Knopfler this coming Friday and Rush on Sunday.

I saw him last week in Birmingham, good show but not that inspiring for me. About time he dropped the acoustic Layla and Wonderful tonight ( reinforced by several avid Clapton fans who were there with me). He had very little rapport with the audience during the set, only spoke to say than you after each number and to introduce band members.Granted the audience were not the most excitable but I had the feeling he was going through the motions with songs he can play in his sleep. Perhaps he is winding down as he says he will stop touring in a couple of years. I would have preferred a smaller intimate venue, more blues tunes on the night.

Eric Clapton 13th May

I shot this last night

I don't believe I thought it was a new Zep album. I will be seeing them on the 26th May in Birmingham.

Seasick Steve - 4th may

Counting Crows - 25th April

Deborah Bonham in Liverpool on Friday 12th April.
