Esau Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) When the show opens with 'France Blues' and the instruments being played are a 1930 National mandolin & 1930 National guitar, you just know its going be great. I was completely floored when they kicked out Duane Allman's ' Little Martha', so sweet, really felt to me like I was getting a indirect window back to the beginning of the seventies when Duane wrote & played it, my god was it good.Kev0, the 'No Expectations' cover is serious good, I grabbed their new album (2 copies - one for a friend). Even after the show we were prompted to throw the disc in & crank it up.There was a bunch of tunes from their new album which were great, and a awesome collection of covers with a nice ol' "all players get up & jam" encore which my buddy Geordie was able to get them to do with the purchase of two pints. (Best two pints ever bought in a bar IMHO).Heres some of the covers they played;(all songs played on a 1951 LG1 Gibson acoustic, Celtic cross double-neck Weissenborn, dobro or 1930 national guitar & 1930 national mandolin)France Blues (trad.)Little Martha (D. Allman)No Expectations (R.Stones)John The Revelator > Nobody's fault but mineWhile my guitar gently weeps (instrumental)For the encore, they asked the other players who opened to come up, so we had Doug Cox, Sam Hurrie Harrison Kennedy, Doug (soundman) & the guy from the first band (Twilight Hotel? ) all up playing.They played two songs for the encore, I forget the first one & 'She caught the KD' sung by Doug(Des on the board here) which was a real treat in my opinion, awesome stuff Doug, cheers to ya my friend.Anyway, thats my best review at the moment, but simply put...it was absolutley amazing.
