'My best recollection of the set list but the order gets a little
fuzzy at times,' writes our correspondent, Bob Lawrie. 'Corrections welcomed. I
thought the band was a little restrained early on getting their feet wet with
the orchestra but by the second set things seemed to be coming together ... (A
Whiter Shade of Pale was very moving in my opinion and the arrangement
brought it to life in new ways for myself. It was clear there was very different
connection between band (Gary) and conductor (Bill Ebbins) ... He was very much
into what was happening and the mood was light and fun between them. Clearly
from my vantage point the Geoffs, Matt and Josh were enjoying themselves ... had
a poor sight line to Gary but noted that others around me commented on his voice
... which seemed in fine form. Josh ripped his solo on Conquistador much
to the delight of the audience ... very nice work. I suspect tonight will see
more looseness in the performance at the outset.' |
