At the end his guitar lead fell out and he didn't even bother plugging back in - just stood there swaying.

Hmmm, chaotic and I have to say amateurish are two words that spring to mind when thinking of last night's show. Sure, Mick played some fine guitar, but the way he wandered around the stage it appeared as if it was such a hassle for him to be there. When he shuffled off at one point and Terry Reid stepped up to perform a couple of superb numbers (what a voice), someone in the audience shouted out "is this the Terry Reid show?" to which TR rather embarrassingly re-introduced Mick Taylor to the stage.
We complain on IORR sometimes about predictable setlists, last night was the other extreme as there didn't appear to be a setlist and whilst there were undoubtedly some great musicians on the stage, no-one quite knew what was going on and if they had turned up to the right gig.....highlighted by the aforementioned 3 drummers sitting in a line, thus prompting Mitch Mitchell to air his comedic qualities rather than his drumming skills.

Many thanks for all your reviews.
By the way, this was billed as a commemoration of his first US tour with the Bluesbreakers:
1. is he taking this show to the US (w/ or w/o Mitchell)?
2. were any Bluesbreakers songs played?

So, Mitch Mitchell was a disgrace.
Who were the other two drummers? Last time there he had the reliable Colin Allen behind him.
And the rest of the band? His usual bassist? Max Middleton on Keyboards?
