He really does have a presence on stage that just draws people in....glad it translated well in a large venue.gessa wrote:Exactly the same mate.
What a night, as someome who's done in excess of 250 live shows, that one as to be up there with the best of them. I was a little apprehensive,wondering if that setlist was for a more intimate venue, rather than a 21000 arena but there was nothing to worry about, he as this knack of almost mesmerising the audience, they are completely taken in by his presence. My gripe about live shows nowadays are the number of folk who just stand around as though they're in a pub bar laughing and pissing about hardly taking any notice of the act that's on, only shutting up when the one hit is played, why spend money on a ticket and not listen really does piss me off, but not last night the first 3 songs played, you could almost hear a pin drop in the crowd, he draws you in so much.
Not a bad song all night, I'm sure you'll love it mate. Wish i could go to one of the other shows too.
That is a difficult question mategessa wrote:Which one though
The Boatman's Call is usually touted a being a good starting point.1964white wrote:That is a difficult question mate
One that appeals to others who may have not heard Cave's music previously
The Boatsman Call & Nocturama are both excellentgessa wrote:I think Nocturama..it has a bit of everything.

Middleton, of course, is a former member of Wally. They do a gig the first Thursday of every month at the Duck and Drake, and they also do a weekly gig at the Harrogate Blues Bar.

They are not a Blues band, although there is some guitar blues in there occasionally. More foottappin' rock, with a lot of pedal steel. Not sure if they did any Wally stuff. as my knowledge of it is not strong, and Middleton's voice when announcing songs is gruff, to say the least.1964white wrote:Nice
Never seen Paul's band, I believe a couple of the musicians who have worked with Wally play in the Angst Band . Middleton is a right old character
Do they play blues stuff Gandi ?
Any Wally songs covered ?
Yes gruff is a good description, probably had one too many as wellGandalf wrote:They are not a Blues band, although there is some guitar blues in there occasionally.

Yeah, they did that one. Indicative of his vocals, that clip - would not suit everybody. The band were very good musically, as you can also see from the clip.1964white wrote:This song 'Surfing' was on the last Wally album Montpellier
Love the feel of the small bar atmosphere in this clip where Paul currently plays
A few of our members on here had an enjoyable night in Harrogate seeing Wally play their last gig a few years ago but that concert was in a much larger venue.Gandalf wrote:Yeah, they did that one.

You should get along to Harrogate, if you like the feel.
The Angst Band play Harrogate every Wednesday.1964white wrote:A few of our members on here had an enjoyable night in Harrogate seeing Wally play their last gig a few years ago but that concert was in a much larger venue.
As a young man I use to do loads of small venue gigs around West Yorkshire, much easier then living in Leeds
Jill & I like Harrogate, we'll have to consider staying there for the weekend, they have some very good restaurants too !

When I go to a festival, that's the kind of thing I like to listen to early evening time. NiceJohn in Louisiana wrote:Another song from the James Hunter Six........
