Albert Lee last night at the Empire in Rochdale. He is 80 years old, but my word he can still play.

You could ask him what happened to Mick Groves CD that he was producing. Mick hasn't heard from him for so long that he has had to refund everybody who had ordered it. |

Last night, Jeff Lynne's ELO at the sold-out Moody Center in Austin!
This was a feast for the eyes and ears from start to finish. I think he had a brief monitor problem during the first song, because he sounded a little flat, but after that all was fine. When the time came to introduce his musical director, it surely appeared to me that he forgot the fellow's name. My companion raised the spectre of memory loss, which I hope is not the case. I certainly saw no other evidence. A fine night out and highly recommended.

Steve Knightley last night at Liverpool Phil Music Room. Excellent concert - Steve's new songs are really good and he played plenty of old stuff too. Pleased to find out that Steve's son, who was on the merch desk, is a keen Liverpool fan!

A super evening with Ian Prowse & Amsterdam last night in Southport. The great Liverpool Irish Andrew Connally as support, and in the band for the main set, the usual amazing selection of songs and visit from Freddie Mercury via a dream made this an incredible night. As my friend Nick said, "another stellar performance!"

We saw Keane at the Ovo Hydro Glasgow on Friday. We have the album Hopes and Fears, which has meant a lot to us, but aside from that hadn't followed them.
Having seen them on the Glastonbury coverage, we decided to book. The support act, The Lathums, might be good, but it was hard to tell due to the horrendous sound balance.. Could only hear drums and hardly heard any vocals. Also, it was too loud.
Keane, however, were fantastic live. Tom is such an unlikely, non stereotypical rock frontman, but does a great job of engaging with the crowd even of 14000+.
We were quite far back/ high up but were on our feet well before the encore. There were obviously many long term fans there really enjoying themselves and there was a great balance of a pale blue background, then really beautiful graphics for some songs.
Neither of us can remember when we last attended such a big concert, it was quite moving to hear and join with the huge crowd for those special songs and to see the phone torches waving. The set was celebrating 20 years since Hopes and Fears and included everything since, so plenty of other familiar songs I'd forgotten about. A lovely evening.

Rick Wakeman, last night at the historic Sheldon Memorial Concert Hall in St. Louis, Missouri!
He alternated between a grand piano and electronic keys, playing selections from his solo work, a “sonata” of Yes music, and choice covers of David Bowie and The Beatles. His keyboard work is dazzling and he’s a charming emcee. I’m so glad I finally got to see him in his element.

Can I confirm that the Lathums are, in fact, good! It's a shame the sound was so bad as they are well worth listening to. |

Hrh Prog festival at Great Yarmouth at the weekend mainly to see Man for the first time in 50 years. Man were extraordinary, Soft Machine were enjoyable and Atomic Rooster should consider retirement. The find of the weekend for me was a band called Sweetpool sounded like cross between Hakwind and Public Image - brilliant.
