LOCKED thread because there already is one.
WW
The penultimate gig of Frank's UK Tour at one of rock's lesser known venue's, but what character the old cinema hall has ! Basically there is a standing area at the front, with seat's just behind. Whilst not packed, there was a good crowd in to witness one of the all time greats .
On stage just after 8..."Glad to be here.....no, sorry, make that glad to be here after so long" From which we were treated to a near 20 minute plus version of Voodoo Chile and Maybe it's time. The sound was awesome, certainly no distortion anywhere. Plenty of medley's included Crossroads and She's not there, however without doubt, the highlight was a terrific versdion of The Answer and Dragonfly. Perhaps some more shorter older tunes may have been appropriate. However, there was no doubting the excellence of the show, some ace violin work from Avi, and Dave Goode on drums kept it all together, even including a nifty solo. With 1 encore the show ended after just over 3hrs 15 or thereabouts, Frank waving his towel from the balcony to the crowd, his loyal band of UK fans will hope he returns sooner rather than later.
