And I missed "Just Like You" last night - bugger! Oh well...

Your in for a very fine good show. As "J" correctly imagined / surmised earlier, the Dylan covers do come across quite well live and 4 Ferry solo gems are worth the price of the event alone. All the best, I wish I was there. John Dillon PS...Oh ...Could someone rise a bottle of Tiger Beer for me at the Gore.

Fantastic night. I was hoping for a voice on better form than the BBC concert and we certainly got it. And the band... fantastic! Great to hear Just Like You, and When She Walks In The Room worked well. All the Dylan numbers were really good. All Along The Watchtower should have been twice as long, though. The crowd pleasers pleased the crowd -- including me. And no Jealous Guy. Jolly Good.

The famously shuffling feet of Bryan Ferry failed to put a foot wrong with any rumours of his voice not being up to scratch and failing fast completely erroneous. I have never heard him sing so well. See Vivaroxymusic for the setlist. I can tell you it was a storming, breakneck 'put your foot down round the bend' spectacular. The flow of the songs was amazing. Kiss and Tell jumping impatiently in, hot-foot after the In-Crowd. The Energy was incredible. The band were on great form as well, the players playing their parts superbly. The little lad on guitar gets better and better going to 11 and upping the cool stakes to ridiculous levels! There's an energy and humour to the Mr Ferry these days that suggests he's really enjoying himself. No. More than 'suggests' - he's loving it. I did too. J ps: Love the tour book - great photos, brilliant mini-Bracewell essay - Morely read and take note - lovely Anna Nicole Smith tribute (totally unexpected but a lovely, lovely touch), effective but subtle pushing of the back catalogue and, most importantly a much deserved credit for the ever-unassuming John O'Brien. Classic! ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V12 #68 **************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
