I think Cropredy will be my only chance to see him this year but I've never seen him at a festival so am looking forward to his set on the Friday night.

Last time I saw him was in Blackpool with Danny T, in Feb last year. I haven't seen him with a full band since the Kit Bag tour and at that gig I could only see the front of the stage so only saw Danny and the drummer when they walked on and off stage!

Anyone know who's in his band this year? Michael Jerome, DT plus... ?

Think I'll pop along to Sheffield. Good warm up for Cropredy.

Yup, I saw that on another RT thread. Just wondered if he might have a rhythm guitarist. I know Pete plays guitar amongst his many instruments but maybe Simon Nicol could join them for a few numbers. The more the merrier!

Just saw him in Lexington (Kentucky) this past Thursday.

There were a few surprises (to me, anyway) - Wrong Heartbeat and The Sun Never Shines on the Poor.

Gypsy Love Song > Tear-Stained Letter encore was particularly HOT!

All around, a pretty nice show.  Worth the drive (as always).  New material comes off well too.

With Cropredy in between (I assume it'll be the same line-up there).
