O/T Steve Cropper & The Animals at the Clitheroe Grand, Sunday 9th November 2014.
Hello,
This was pretty much the same show that I saw in the same venue 18 months ago and similarly it felt like a privilege to see The Colonel play once again. Who cares if he spends a fair amount of time telling stories of how his songs came about (he was onstage until just past 11pm!) because when he plays off the super-tight Animals he rolls back the years.
Speaking of which, those guys played all their hits and just sounded fantastic. Before I saw them play I admit that I was sceptical but if you get the chance to see them do not hesitate! And it's obvious just how much fun they have sharing the stage with S.C..
(No idea why the first photo was re-sized: Photobucket is not playing nice tonight...what a bag o'shite, hah-hah!)
And the standard ropey vids...try HD to make it semi-bearable!
