Bill Wyman tonight! I can't wait. Special guest is Eddie Floyd!

Eddie Flyod! Saw him with Solomon Burke, they performed "Knock On Wood", a great tune!
Have fun with Bill!


Belgrade-Bucharest-Budapest-Brno

I hope you'll enjoy him more than I did when I saw him with the Rhythm Kings. It was all about his sidemen (who were great) but except of his usual bass playing there was no reason to call the band just "The Rhythm Kings" instead of "Bill Wyman and his Rhythm Kings". This said about the guy who used to play bass just for me (and 50'000 Norwegians) when I saw him in Oslo 1990.

have a blast, Reptile!
let Bill know his rock & roll soul is showing ...


"What do you want - what?!"
- Keith

I've seen them twice...fantastic both. Enjoy!

Thanks. Think he'll smack me if I try to get him to sign some Stones records?

i think he's been known to - but i hear he's nicer about it if you ask him to sign some of his books or solo albums first.

Just don't ask him to sign "A bigger bang"... better ask him what he thinks about Mick playing the bass on so many new tracks. Since he used to be quite bitter about Keith's desire to play bass on many Stones tracks he may find it funny that Keith's bass playing has deteriorated so much that Mick had to take over.

Have a great night. i'm going to see him in Oslo october 24th, looking foreward to thet

Have a nice night in Zoetermeer, Reptile!
You do write some lines on this tomorrow, huh?

I also wish Rutger a pleasant night on Friday at Het Burgerweeshuis, Deventer!

I´ve heard from a very credible source that ool´ Bill wont like people
ask for signings of Stones-stuff... But but one of his books before,
unless you dont already have some of´em.

I´ll see Wyman Oct 17 in Sundsvall, Sweden.

It was great! He started a bit late but finally he came up and introduced his fellow band members. I was kindly supriced to see Andy Fairweather Low from Eric Clapton's band. I'd never heard of the rest of them. So Bill told us he was going to play all kinds of music, and they were of. First was an instrumental R&B with everybody doing some solo's, except for Bill(ofcourse). I'd never heard of Albert Lee, but he's a fine guitarist. The rest of the band played and sang a couple of songs, and Bill came up to announce it was "his @#$%& turn". He sang one song and left again. Then there was Eddie Floyd, the special guest. He did 2 tunes. One of them was 6345789(I hope that's right). Then he was of the stage to be back later. They played some more songs and there was a 20 minute break. When they came back(slighty late, ofcourse) they started playing again and Eddie Floyd came up to sing a few songs again, including Knock On Wood. Bill also sang one again. Then they left the stage, but after some cheering they came back for an encore. They did a couple more, eventually Eddie Floyd came up again to dance with them a bit. There were some great songs, like I Shall Not Be Moved and Hit The Road Jack. The whole night, Bill looked happy. He ofcourse hardly moved, but he had a smile on his face and looked like he was really enjoying himself, although it wasn't quite showing. Then the band left the stage except for Bill, who squatted down in a corner to sign some stuff. I was there with my dad and he said I'd never get one anyway. But I decided I'd have to try. There were some determined Stones fans there, I was squashed between them. But I jumped in front of the stage eventually and desperately stuck out my ticket. He took it and signed it, I gave him a handshake and told him it was great. Wooow!!! I got Bill Wyman's autograph. It's securely in a glass frame in my bedroom now. It was a great night and my short rendez-vous with Bill made it even better. I recommend everybody to go see him if he comes near you. Hell, even if he doesn't come near you. It's an extremely professional band and they sound wonderful.

Sounds promising for what I´m up to
in three weeks. Thank you, Reptile, cool review/report!

Great you enjoyed so much; Bill's playing (very) near me in January but even after this review I'll save my 52 Euro's anyway, knock on wood, Hit the road Jack.....just not my taste, maybe in 30 years or so...

btw. it sounds more like Eddie Floyd and the Rhythm Kings..

Congrats. Nice Story, (morning glory).

Going to see him on Sunday. Looking forward to it!

At the Jolly Joker in Braunschweig, huh; Wahwahwoody?
Sound like a small venue?
I see he´s playing in Oulu, Finland twice, sounds
commercially worrying. Sorry Ouluans/Uleåborgers;
but that´s my thought too on playing Sundsvall and Boden.
But Sundsvall will at least be a semi-large venue.
Gotta buy some more Wyman-books before that date (Oct 17).
...Do you think he would sign my homeburnt cd´s with his Rhythm Kings
- with a cd/dvd-pen?

I'm going to see him on the 4. of october. did they play rockandroll songs too? Thats where Wyman is the best.

I met Bill in the South of France in a hotel about 10km from where he played about an hour northeast of Marseille. The venue was way out in the country and I had no way of getting back home (Marseille) after the show. When I checked in to the hotel, Bill signed my dvd which was cool. His bandmates were really cool as well. The show was not bad and I kind of took a pleasure in hearing "Si si je suis un rock star" which I don't think he plays too often. It had been my understanding that Bill was living in France but he told me was now living in England. That was in early 2004.

Charles Baudelaire
1821-1869

Yes, Baboon Bro, it's a really small and intimate venue. I think I'll like that. Hope to get a few things signed, too.

Are there any pictures/recording ANYTHING available from the Zoetermeer gig?

Bill WHO?????

Great to hear it reptile, i was trying to get there, but i whas stock in my work. I`ll try to get to him in januari in naaldwijk!
But it`s a great review, thanks for sharing it.
