Ha, I thought you would be on. I'm on a limited connection at the Greenwich Premier Inn. A bit like Pipkin's wife for us. I didn't know much of Martina'work which we found a bit samey. Clearly a class act, but highlight for me too was Independence Day, which oddly I can both sing and play.
We thought Dierks was excellent and really took his opportunity to put on a great show and get to a wider audience. I'investigat his stuff when I get home. I've waited a long time for the Chicks although there selection wasn't necessarily my favourites. Sound quality was a bit shrill, but Emily and Marti were great and loved they way they smiled all through. Natalie just gives it her all and they just have such an edge. Just a thrill to see them live. Zac Brown Band were a bit too eclectic in their choices for me. Excellent musicianship, but felt they started really well, sagged in the middle and lost their audience a bit withthe extended guitar solos and God knows what posessed them, a drum solo. Finished strongly, but they had lost me a little by then. The skeleton outfits were fun, but I just think they were a little stretched over the lenght of the set. HMV in Brighton had their last two studio albums for 5.99 last week. Have to say, the last thing I wanted to hear in the end was 'here's another track from the Grohl album! Looking forward to tonight and Brad big time. If you see a guy in his fifties with a blue check Ben Sherman shirt, black levis and a wife, say Hi, it'll be me. And well done the Albion for keeping up ther part of the great weekend bargain!
