Day 11: Tuesday June 8 - Club show!

Review by Bob Dunsby

'Welcome to Shpherds Bush - its been a long time since I said that' - dead right Mick. What a show! It was different as Mick said 'if you want to see the hits go to the big place down the road' - Wembley is a few miles away.

As the opener I am Shattered but It's Only Rock'n'Roll and I liked it, as soon as these two numbers were on we knew that something really special was in store, and it was. Respectable, All Down The Line, Some Girls and onto something never ever performed before Melody what a treat with Bernard and Lisa smooching on stage and a trombone solo.

Mick apologieses beforehand for this foray into uncharted territory but we loved it even with pasted lyrics on the stage floor, it most definitley was 'second night'. Well that was special but followed by I Got The Blues - Mick at his best, Brand New Car and a never ever before The Moon Is Up. The trouble is you'll never make a Saint Of Me. Sheryl, good warm up, got a part in Honky Tonk Women. Keith Got The Silver - why he's never done that before '99 I shall never know, he then had to walk Before They Made Him Run.

We'll if you ever plan to motor west try take my way thats the highway thats the best get your kicks on Route 66 around Shepherds Bush that'll get You Got Me Rocking. Tumbling Dice, Brown Sugar and Jumping Jack Flash as an encore rounded up and impressive Rock-n-Roll show by the world's permier exponents and all at 100% bull shit and prop free. Yours Truly Impressed and Shattered...

Day 12: At the Voodoo Lounge

Day off means time to work, reviews, with a portable PC in the smallest hotel room in London, but the reward is an evening at the Voodoo Lounge Bar by Leicester Square. We made it into the bar with jeans, and even if it was an up-style place with up-style beer prices, the food was ok, and with Ronnie Wood art in the restrooms, who could complain?
