Gigs

[GBJ]

Went to the Cliffs last night for Queen Extravaganza. Was a decent effort. Certainly not the worst Queen tribute band I’ve seen.

And tonight I’m off to The Troxy for Jack White.

[GBJ]

Went to Wembley Arena on Saturday night, (or as it’s better known, that ****ing Wembley Arena, due to the prices) and watched The Darkness.

Didn’t grow up as a fan, but went with a few who did & genuinely enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Drink prices aside, of course.

Gigs in Brazil.We were supposed to see Mike Reid last Thursday in Brazilia .Jazz guitarist ex -Blood ,Sweat & Tears and a former sideman to Miles Davis but for reasons to complicated to explain here we didn't go.

However we did see a good jazz jam session in Salvador's Jam not Bam festival and also an excellent Beatles tribiute band in Sao Paulo's Bourbon Street nighclub/pub.Apparently they played all but 2 of the tracks from Revolver.(At the risk of revealing my age) I can say they didn' t play George's Within you,wirhout you from Sergeant Pepper.
.Suppose I'll have to play Revolver again to remember the "missing"tracks

Really enjoyed Ezre Collective a couple of weeks ago (Cross the Tracks festival). But nothings beats watching my son, third gig with singer/songwriter girlfriend (again Brixton way) last week.

My younger brother lived down in Brixton when he was first married:A place much better than it's rep I think (altho, his first wife was mugged there IIRC).

*Footnote the missing tracks off Revolver (that the Beatles tribute group didn't play that nighr, were George's Taxman & John's I'm Only Sleeping.

(At the risk of revealing my age) I can remember the RE teacher at Easwood HS. played Taxman during school assembly.Quite revolutionary for the time I suppose.
