So Nigel - how was it?

Posted on: 26 October 2008 by droodzilla

Really good, thanks - both sets absolutely flew by, which is usually a good sign. They played a variety of material, mostly drawn from Cantando and Goodbye, and I'm sure that at least one piece was completely imrovised. I found the young drummer (he looked like a twelve year old, proudly sporting his first facial hair) a little busy at first, but he either calmed down as the show went on, or I got used to him. Interesting choice from Stenson, who's diffident to a fault. Well worth braving the Snake Pass on a wild and windy Autumn night for!

Regards
Nigel

With pictures, very jealous - not able to enjoy concerts at the moment, but great memories from a couple of years back.

Nigel, I think this must have been the concert you were at.
