Wightman wrote the following review. Scroll on down for the pics. Thanks
a lot, Mark!
After
seeing Dan and the boys last year I made sure that I'd see 'em more than
once this time around. So...Leeds (being the nearest gig to me...PLEASE
play Manchester next time!), and London 'cos
it was on a weekend, were chosen.
The band opened with Rocket In My Pocket and for the next 2 hours played
a storming set of Sats/Dan songs...along with a couple of covers. Superb!
I'm not gunna bother writing all the songs down - you just can't complain
with ANY song they play...Dan Baird couldn't write a bad song if he sat
down and really thought about it! Hard!
It has to be said that the band are EVEN BETTER than last year. It's a
real band now rather than just Dan and friends. Amongst many highlights
were "Railroad Steel" with it's new slow bluesy intro and a
cover of ZZTOP's "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers" which had
Dan and Ken trading the lyrics just like Dusty hill and Billy Gibbons.
As usual the band were more than happy to meet people afterwards and sign
anything put in front of them. They really are the most down to earth
people you could meet. No egos or any of that crap.I was lucky enough
to have a beer and a chat with Dan afterwards. He was as friendly as ever
but I didn't wanna keep him too long 'cos the man was exhausted.
