"Having now seen The Rhythm Kings
tour on five occasions this year (Reading, Brentwood, Lewisham,
Norwich & Canary Wharf) here`s a quick review of thoughts
thus far. Canary Wharf for us was the best so far, although
you felt the sound was not up to standard, for us, the audience,
the sound was the best we have heard so far. We were fortunate
in being able to `barge` our way near to the front, in a
central position.
The opening number, Let The Good Times Roll always sets
the mood for the evening & I believe Clive said at Norwich,
`We can`t think of a better number to open our shows with!'
Keep with it! It`s still working!
Mike does Chicken Shack Boogie better than anyone, (missed
this when you played at Brentwood)!! Tell You A Secret let`s
Sanch get up off his backside for at least 10 minutes (we
can never understand how he manages to sit down in a reserved
manner for so long
during gigs!!!) Keep it going, it`s a major factor of the
show.
Breakin' Up The House & Hole In The Wall are sung &
played with such energy, as good as Gary Brooker on the
original cuts. As for the rest, well Janice is absolutely
gorgeous & has a voice to go with it, Beverley is just
magic & Nick & Frank look like they`ve been taking
dancing lessons from Pans People. Rock steady Terry just
keeps doing it & gets involved in everything, why doesn`t
he sing a solo? Albert & Martin are just the best ever
at what they do & Graham keeps it all moving along to
perfection.
The guy with the dark brown & battered organ seems
to know what he`s doing, what a find!! Oh nearly forgot,
Bill, you are just great, how come when you do 15 minutes
of Hit The Road Jack you don`t get bored playing the same
riff? Having seen you 5 times this year it is great to see
some of you talking with the crowd before the gigs, can`t
understand though, why Frank was offering some crazy woman
with a guitar, free tickets & a back stage pass at Canary
Wharf, she wasn`t that good looking!!! We are still hoping
to make Mike`s final gig in Manchester, if we can get good
tickets! Are you sure there is no way you can keep him in
the band when Gary returns? Keep on playing, you are all
just the best, send you a final review after Manchester.
See you there."
