There was no intermission this time and Linda did a longer set before introducing the video. The piano mike needs changing before Jerry comes on so the short vid killed a bit of time I suppose . Linda did a similar set to London, different running order and adding Blue Suede Shoes. She opened with Robert Hall kicking off Rip It Up, and also featured a long Shake a Rattle and Roll with the band taking solos. The others all did identical sets to London.
Reminiscent of olden times a great gathering took place back at the hotel with Stephen Aclkes, Daniel White , Peter Hayman and others entertaining at the piano. Great to see Neil Turner after many years as well as Andrew Macrae , Des Wilson, Folke Myrvang and so many others. I met David Hamer in London for the first time as well as old friends like John Pearce and Dave Webb. Happy days. If he comes back to Europe I hope we can do it again . Judith was very clear - he will not quit performing, it is the travelling he has difficulty with , but on this evidence, done properly, who knows ......
