Band 2
featuring Tim Ries, Bernard Fowler et al.
Martyrs' Jazz Club
Chicago IL USA
Friday June 28, 2024

Report by Bjørnulf Vik

Tim Ries and Bernard Fowler was in Chicago performing two shows with The Rolling Stones at Soldiers Field on June 27 and 30, 2024. The day after the first Stones show, they were booked for a "Band 2" show at Martyrs', legendary club in Chicago. A few hundred fans filled the small club, some with Stones shirts, others in "civilian" dressing for the night. Luckily they did not have a late start like The Rolling Stones; Band 2 was on shortly after 8pm.

Tim and Bernard was on stage with a great backing, including keyboards, bass, drums and guitar, some of the finest world class musicians around. Stones songs may sound quite different when they are done the jazz way, but sure everybody could recognize great versions of "Honky Tonk Women", "Tumbling Dice", "Wild Horses", "Miss You", "Gimme Shelter" and "Satisfaction". Also, they did "A Change Is Gonna Come", and the encore "To Love Somebody".

We do know that The Rolling Stones do work with the best musicians there are. Still, to have Bernard Fowler on lead vocals do show us what a great singer and entertainer he is, and Tim Ries sure is a band leader, as well as a great musician, you do always enjoy these shows, because they do so many great songs, and amazing interpretations.

Many thanks to Tim Ries and Bernard Fowler, for taking the time to entertain us in a small and unique scale during this tour, as well as during previous tours!
