Any Maidstone people getting bored Saturday.. come say hello

 

[B.B.The Legend Lives On.]

hen the Rolling Stones at Hyde Park (just 57 years after I last saw them at Southend Odeon!) - great stuff - where does Sir Michael get his energy from?

I was also at The Rolling Stones at the Odeon March 1965?. Was that the time when they were supported by The Hollies.

Yes

He certainly did when I saw him at the Palace a few years back, also Gin House..Can't say I share your enthusiasm for the Stones,IIRC,eventually saw them back in the 90's.

I had a lack of enthusiasm for the Stones - hence the 57 year gap - thought I would give them a go this time and was pleasantly surprised

At Wembley this eve awaiting Coldplay to come on. Meanwhile, it appears that them lot from up the A12 must be due at our national stadium as they seem to have made preparations for Col Ewe ticket sales at their end.

Good gig last night at St Ives festival - a dose of excellent blues rock from the Laurence Jones Band and Cornwall`s own Blacktop Deluxe - perfect antidote to all this royal stuff

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Got free tickets to see Chris de Burgh at the Cliffs last night. Not really my cup of tea and I own zero of his 27 albums he said he'd recorded. Just him, a piano, 12 string electric and occasional backing track.
He was completely superb. Also had an anti Putin rant calling him a *******.

SAw Nick Lowe & The Straightjackets at an excellent free show yesterday as part of Cerdanyola's Blues Festival.Great summer weather too (not like today, downcast and's been raining a bit too.

Saw The Joshua Redman quartet at the Palau de Musica last night.Probably as good as contemporary jazz gets.Long been a fan of JR's sax playing (first saw him live in Montpellier back in the early 80's but this is the first time I saw the band.Excellent.

LOL- a 53 year old man doing contemporary jazz. Listen to some Domi and JD Beck, for some up to date stuff.

Ha! being 53 again would be rather nice.As far as I'm aware contemporary means "Of our time".Never heard of the 2 groups you mention and at my age not sure I would want to be "up to date " either.

ps it's one group. I mean sure Redman is fine but it's a bit bland.

I know it's one group.Redman is excellent.Brad Medlhau (on piano) who I've seen with his own quartet is also first rate .As are the rhythm section comprising Christian McBride on bass and Brian Blades on drums.The capacity,(every seat sold) audience would appear to agree with me,judging by their reaction and the group's reaction to their enthusiasm.

Dave Bronze used to play with bluesman Eric Bibb (among others) ,.Missed out on seeing D.B. play with E.B. (at a free gig at the Ship in Leigh after a Friday night Blues game)back in the day .Saw EB play in France a year or so afterwards and by then he'd got himself a new bass player.
Also remember seeing both Andy and DB backing Clapton here in a memorable Blues gig at the time the From the Cradle CD was out ("Big Eric" didn't even bother to introduce the band)

Daves CVs is a 'Whos Who' of the music world .

Indeed! I was about to say I believe he has his own studio in Leigh too.

Used to have a couple of Joshua Redman albums back in the day, and what a venue to see him play.

Seeing Confidence Man at the Roundhouse next week. I imagine I will be the only 60 year-old in the audience.
