Eventhough the sound at Shepherd's Bush wasn't that great, I could hear here voice was very clear. First Cut is the deepest is great. I really like it. You didn't buy the cd yet? It's out now in the Netherlands. I bought it in the UK though, cause there you get one extra track. Let's Get Free. I will post a review and pictures soon of the London concert. I've also decided to go to the Paris show, then Brussels and Cologne as well.

A rock evening with Sheryl Crow A big crowd was lining up in front of the Shepherd4s Bush Empire on Tuesday 14th of October. And when I say 4lining up4 I really mean in lines. The brits really know how to be polite. When the line was getting too long and was disturbing the other pedestrians, we got gently guided into the alley next to the venue. Despite the odours of human liquids we didn4t mind the waiting. People were in a good mood. They were going to see Sheryl Crow, a great rock show. Nerina Patton, a local singer/songwriter had the honor to warm the crowd up. She did that with integer piano songs at the likes of Tori Amos/Vanessa Carlton and any other female singers that simply accompany their sweet high voices with their piano. And then after Patton left the stage the music was turned up loud with All Night Long from AC/DC. Anyone who saw a show or heard about the shows Miss Crow and her band gave recently would take that as the sign the fun is about to start. The female rockstar and her four male band members walked on to the stage on the sound of roaring motors. Sheryl on mighty high heels and slick leather motorpants topped of with a loose simple tanktop possibly because of the bruised ribs she ended up with after a surfing accident. The band started off with Steve McQueen quickly followed up by other rockhits like There Goes The Neighbourhood, My Favourite Mistake and You4re an Original. And then Sheryl debuted with her new single in London: The First Cut is the Deepest, a country-ish ballad originally written by Cat Stevens but also covered by Rod Stewart. The performance was basically a run down of her biggest hits like Everyday Is A Winding Road, A Change Would Do You Good, If It Makes You Happy, Strong Enough, All I Wanna Do and the hit of the summer of 2002 Soak Up The Sun. An exception was Redemption Day. A politically tinted song which seems quite fitting to the state of mind Miss Crow must be in right now, after she was boomed in the States for being outspoken against the war in Iraq. It was clearly that she was amazed by the way the audience responded to the song with impressed silence. Mouths fell open, sighs were heard, no one knew where to look. At the videoscreens that showed quotes of fighters for human rights like Chi, Martin Luther King, Joan Baez, Abraham Lincoln, or stare at Sheryl who put all the feeling into the song she had. Also a touching song was Weather Channel, a song, as Sheryl explained, she wrote when she turned 40 and went to a real low, low, place. But she crawled back up again cause 40 is the new 30 as she sees it. The songs were accompanied with smooth videofootage on the two big screens at the back of the stage. Some footage was taken from the videoclips of the songs. A hit that was missed was Run Baby Run, since that was so well received in the UK at that time. But you can4t have everything. Then the first part of the show Sheryl and her band ended with I Shall Believe which started off with just Sheryl singing and Mike Rowe on the piano. In the last few minutes Sheryl strapped her red bass on to finish off the climax. Chicken skin really& can4t say anything else about it. After that the whole band took a bow and left the stage. To come back very quickly with the cover of Nick Cave4s (What4s so funny about) Peace Love and Understanding, followed by the war song Let4s Get Free. Sheryl apologized for dragging the British into the war and that she wrote this song to say to people to lighten up a little bit. The evening was completed with the Led Zeppelin cover Rock 4n Roll where Sheryl showed her Tina Turner moves and Peter Stroud his best guitar playing and Jim Bogius hit the drums like his live was about to end if he didn4t. Possibly because this was going to be his last show in a long time with Sheryl and the others. Since last new year4s eve Bogius left Crow for the some other birds, the Counting Crows and was replaced by the Brit Shawn Pelton. After that most fans ran off to the pub next door which was about to close in 15 minutes. The they separated their ways again. Most likely most will meet again in Paris, Brussels, Cologne, Copenhagen, Munich or Berlin. - ------------- Funny moments: - -As Rick, Sheryl4s guitartech, tried to fix something with her plug, Sheryl jumps naughty back. - -When Jim threw one of his drumsticks in the direction of one of the engineers to point out that he really needed a new stick! - -Scary moment: Sheryl almost slipping on one of the shirts that was thrown onto the stage by some fans. Please don4t throw anything on the stage!! Sheryl was concentrating and almost didn4t see the t-shirt when she turned around to strap off her guitar. One step further and she ended up with one of her heels in the t-shirt making a huge slide and fall off these mighty high heels.

Will scan them in later with my negative scanner to see if I can do something about it. Brigitte ------------------------------ End of sheryl-crew-digest V6 #122 *********************************
