Hi folks,
Now that i'm back from London, and the tremendous gig at The Roundhouse, I can finally post a review.
After a couple of pints at The Hawley Arms (5 min walk from the venue), my family and I went to the Roundhouse, which was beautiful, never been there before the gig, and we were charmed by it. I tried to buy a 45rpm of 'Serious' at the merchandise, but the woman didn't know at which price to sell it
. A pint later it was apparently OK and I was able to complete my RH collection
.
The two opening shows were good, especially appreciated the one with the bassoon, it reminded me of my younger days, playing that instrument.
And then Mr H arrived. Excellent gig opener with 'Which Way', with great guitars. The songs of the last album sound great on stage. Also big up to the band
they put on the show!
I was a bit surprised that there were so many songs from 'Standing At The Sky's Edge' but that's ok for me as I LOVE that album. 'Open Up Your Door' was widely acclaimed from beginning to end, that is totally deserved. This one, followed by 'Tuesday PM', really were the heartmelting moment of the gig. So many great song during that gig, 'I Still Want You' was another highlight of the show for me. All songs were highlights actually.
Fantastic idea to play 'There's A Storm A-Comin' and 'Coles Corner' which I really didn't expect to hear live one day.
Keep on going Richard, and looking forward to seeing you in Paris!
