TODD AND THE BAND CAME ON STAGE AND 'SAID WE HAVE NO TIME TO FUCK ABOUT TONIGHT IN CASE YOU MISS YOUR TRANSPORT'S !!! THEN STARTED WITH A BLISTERING LOVE IN ACTION. HE LOOKED LIKE HE MEANT BUSINESS AND CARRIED ON WITH THE SET IN THE SAME VEIN. THE BAND WERE EXCELLENT SO TIGHT JESSIE PLAYED SOME GREAT GUITAR , LOVED RACHEL MADE A DIFFERENCE WITH THE LOOK OF THE BAND AND THE BACKING VOCALS NEVER REALISED WHAT A GREAT DRUMMER PRAIRIE IS. THE STYLE OF FULL ON ROCK SUITED HIM A LOT.
ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE KASIM HE PLAYED RHYTHM GUITAR FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT AND KEYBOARD FOR SOME SONGS. HIS BACKING VOCALS ARE VERY GOOD TOO.
TODD PLAYED THE SAME SET THAT HE'S PLAYED THROUGHOUT AMERICA WHICH WAS TO BE EXPECTED ALTHOUGH HE DID SAY HE HAD A FEW SURPRISES FOR US TONIGHT !!!
PRAIRIE STRUGGLED ON THE START OF THE SONG TODAY BUT SOON GOT INTO IT WHICH I CAN IMAGINE IS VERY HARD TO EMULATE THAT TRICKY DRUM MACHINE PATTERN.
PLAYED USUAL ENCORES TODD SAID AGAIN GOING TO FINISH NOW DON'T WANT YOU MISSING YOUR TRANSPORT !! SO I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE HAD LAID THE LAW DOWN TO THE BAND WHEN TO START AND FINISH WHICH PISSED HIM OFF A BIT !!!
I HAVE SEEN TODD THREE TIMES NOW - THE LIRAS TOUR, THE JOE JACKSON + ETHEL TOUR IN LIVERPOOL BIT THINK THIS WAS THE BEST. HE JUST LOOKED SO COMFORTABLE A MAN RIGHT IN HIS GROVE DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST BELTING HIS SONGS OUT AND LETTING RIP ON OLD FOAMY .
THE ARENA MUSIC SOUNDED REALLY GOOD LIVE AND THE PACKED AUDIENCE LOVED IT - JUST AMAZING TO THINK THIS GUY IS 60! MOST PEOPLE THINK ABOUT SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE AND GETTING THEIR PIPE AND SLIPPERS OUT BUT NOT TODD!! HE JUST GETS YOUNGER. A GREAT SHOW ONLY DOWNSIDE WAS IT ALL HAD TO END.
PLEASE COME BACK AGAIN TODD I KNOW ITS A LONG WAY FROM HAWAII BUT YOU WILL ALWAYS GET A BIG WELCOME HERE THE UK!
