a good night.......even Wee Wille Harris!-
he's gotta be 85, but was still rocking.
Pretty Things were great, and The Carlo Little All-Stars nailed Brown Sugar.

Stones fully signed 'Bigger Bang' t-shirt went for £775 sterling and the vip ticket package, for any one of the UK dates, went for just under a grand.
Lots of money raised for a good cause.

And I wasn't there ............... Grrrrr !!!

Still, thanks for the report, sounds like it was a good night. Was Art Wood in attendance ?

Hi Guys,

I think the 'Bigger Bang' signed t-shirt ended up going for around £950.00.....the 'auctioneer' was finding it hard to keep track! The guy who bought it was standing next to me. He also bought the 'exclusive' Keith CDs (Talk is Cheap and Main Offender), which turned out to have 'promotional copy - not for resale' stickers on them and that was it! The BB Promo CD with guitar pick was quite cool though!

Art came on at the end for the finale, were there 5 or 6 guitars on stage by that time?! A great evening, especially the 'Not Fade Away' two drummers battle!

did you see the guy in the audience, with the camcorder?
he filmed the whole show! his arm must ache this morning!-
i hope he torrents it on the web- was a great evening.

The tall guy, who seemed to be having great success in the auction, was working in tandem with his mate, wasn't he?

The fabulous 'drum duel ' you refer to during 'Not Fade Away', featured the legendary Micky Waller - he pounded them skins, whilst still wearing his overcoat and scarf! cool dude.

Wish I could have been there....Tell me Adrian , did The Pretty Things do a set on their own and what did they play?.....oh and do you know if they have any more gigs lined up in the near future??

sorry Percy for the misinformation- it wasn't The Pretty Things, in their entirety, but Phil May and Dick Taylor as a duo.

They played "Rosalyn", and a blues, slide guitar-based number, which i'm ashamed to say, i didn't recognise.
As you would expect, their all-too short set, was fabulous.

Cheers for the info Adrian....as I said wish I could have made the show..were their many people there?..I always considered The Pretty things to be the next best thing to The Stones...Man, they were so wild back in the early sixties...have you seen this?!



love to see them play again......last time I saw them was in the Marquee back in 82.

Thanks- i hadn't seen that clip.
Great band- didn't get the breaks.

I'd guess at 500-700 people there last night, by the time of the auction
(half way through show at 9pm)

The show was over-running, and being a sunday night,(people having to work next day and notorious Sunday public transport) the crowd had thinned-out, by the time The Nashville teens hit the stage at 10.45pm.
