Set two
Bringing Home the Bacon
Pandora's Box (nice organ; GB explains
about Ledreborg concerts: 'best orchestra and choir we've ever played with')
Fat Cats (very good singing from Geoff W;
GB namechecks Geoff Dunn, 'doing a great job')
Something Following Me ('We'd like to
play a simple song, with just 7 chords, or 9; under 25 at any rate')
Something Magic (nice to hear Josh on
Hammond)
Juicy John Pink (very harmonic and
dynamic; a new interpretation, with whole band; very well-received)
Barnyard Story (audience went mad! At
least ten requests for this number at the mercho stall afterwards)
A Salty Dog (terrific Brooker vocal ...
superb breath-control, hard to think of a better performance)
Encore
Whisky Train (setlist specified
VIP Room: but GB calls out for the Bartender! Drum solo worked well and went
down well)
A Whiter Shade of Pale ('Every
night has to end, and I like to end by playing an English Suite'. But GB plays
not an English Suite but Air on a G String which most of the
crowd took for AWSoP; > When a Man Loves a Woman (one verse) >
No Woman No Cry (one verse) > AWSoP

Very small, crowded venue (tickets had been sold for a larger venue that wasn't finished). Band in very good shape, with lots of humour and fun on stage and much talking between songs. 'We've played 867 concerts this year,' Gary claimed at one stage (in Something Following Me he seemed transported, playing 'bar-room' piano as if for himself, while GW soloed). Very nice people at the venue, nice audience too. Lights done with great finesse, fitting the mood and structure of the songs (insider knowledge!) Thanks, Thomas, for text and image
