The tour picks up again on Thursday night, 10th November at Birmingham HMV Institute - I've not played there since it was all done out. Last time I was there, about a year ago to see EELS for one of the best shows I've ever seen - they were on in the big room and Mark E Everett changed guitars after every song with such speed and precision you had to hand it to the guitar tech - top job. I do like EELS although I don't listen to them as often as I used to - I'm currently vibing, if thats the word, which it isn't, to Gibert O'Sullivan, John Miles, John Howard and Sailor - the very cream of British MOR of the early 70s. And Elton of course, where would we be without Elton - ha. I'm especially looking forward to the Birmingham gig as it's threatening to be something of an old school reunion.
From Birmingham we travel to BOURNEMOUTH Fire Station for an early show on Fri 10th and to OXFORD O2 Academy on Saturday 11th. Tour dates are nicely split up for recovery time - Sundays drive back from Aberdeen probably the most grueling on the schedule.
I took a few videos of the shows, the Doghouse in Dundee came out best - here's 'A Vision' from the show, I'll post some more as we go on.
