Fantastic night at the Half Moon!!! Man what a great band. The British Invasion were absolutely awesome - completely rocked the venue! It really was like seeing them live!
Wow!
Wow!
Now that is what I call cool....I'm impressed that Mr.Smithers would attend...sounds like dr.simple's band is good
Now Ozzy's hand infection has canceled the Shoreline show til 2019, who cares at this point, not me.

Saw Elton John last night, for his farewell tour, wow, the man still has it. Rocked the place for almost 3 hours, at his age thats pretty damn long, he had some of his early band members with him, nice to see. Davey johnstone, nigel ollson, and the short bald headed percussionist i can't remember his name, but i remember seeing him with elton when i saw his yellow brick road tour back in 197?. Highly recommended concert.
Been listening to GYBR lately, fully appreciated the perfect backing band he had then. Sad that amazing bass player Dee Murray is no longer with us to take part. (Elton came to Nashville and played a benefit solo show to help Dee's family in 1993(?) when Dee passed). By the time I saw Elton in 1975, it was the Rock Of The Westies band where Davey Johnstone and Ray Cooper were the only holdovers. Still a great show from the 3rd row in San Diego Sports Arena.
I think the percussionist is Ray Cooper... I see his name on album credits from the 70’s onward quite frequently... pretty prolific studio musician.
The Strawbs were in town last night, just five minutes from home. Great show! Dave Cousins, Dave Lambert, Chas. Cronk and Tony Fernandez as well as newcomer Dave Bainbridge were in top form. They were also here two years ago with an acoustic version of the band, but last night they were rocking! Part of their show included an abridged version of Hero and Herione - if only that had ben done in quad back then.
Saw Al Jardine last night... really cool, up close and personal performance of all the classic Beach Boys tunes with lots of stories in between songs... the vocals were excellent. “Surfs Up” was my favorite performance of the night (maybe I’ll post it later )

Did your son enjoy it?
He said it was the best concert he’s ever seen! (And he’s seen Rush, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Styx, etc)
Thank you, Mr. Smithers! It was great fun meeting you and Andrew

Thanks, Clint, but I was just the lucky stiff who got to sub for the guitarist who didn’t want to go. I had a great time hanging with Mr. Smithers (Will) before the show - he’s a GREAT guy! And Omega4 (Andrew) and his wife showed my wife and I a great time the following day - including some surround listening at their home! It was quite a trip for this guy who had never left America previously.
I can't express how cool it is for members getting together and the description of the events and your reactions speak volumes about you guys....well done

I see what you did there - one of my favorite Brit-isms!
I always think of Pink Floyd's lyrics.."hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way"
Last night, I was afforded the incredible opportunity to meet Moody Blues man John Lodge backstage after his solo show at the Nashville City Winery.
John put on a heck of a show filled with lots of great Moody Blues hits (and a few good solo songs too!)
Here's the rest of his US tour dates. Check it out!

Okay guys - last post about my England trip and then I'll put a lid on it.
First off, for Mr. Smithers, who met me but still doesn't know what I look like, I've changed my avatar. Can you see the real me, doctor???
Secondly, and more interestingly to this forum, as we were leaving Abbey Road we saw Giles Martin leaving the studio:

Haha now I see ya!
Wow! Great scoop! Could be polishing off some 5.1 Abbey Road @ Abbey Road?!
Maybe you guys will be back in London one day to record some stuff there. You were certainly good enough to rock such an establishment!
