| Post subject: | Seeing your old musical heroes now |
Having seen an amazing performance by Ronnie Spector last night (who is now 67!) I got to thinking about my heroes and what it's like to see them years after what is considered their pomp. I saw Kev Rowland just under ten years ago at the Festivall Hall and well it was ok... it was Kev, he looked sharp and most of the songs he played are right up there amongst my favourites... BUT his voice could only handle the gentle and speak through ones and he had to rely on a sidekick (Pete Williams) for the high notes. Shane MacGowan is now pretty much a shambles live these days (ok that WAS part of his charm but...) Billy Bragg's fine though the banter makes up more of the show than the songs these days. Mozzer... Hmmm... Adam Ant...? Well £53 for Electric Ballroom means I won't be finding out but I fear the worst. The Stones? Never seen them and based on their choices of venue, never will. |

Patti Smith has still got it when it comes to performing, though obviously I never caught her the first time around. The 2005 live version of Horses is as brilliant as the 1975 recording (and when it comes to the 17-and-a-half minute version of Land, it's even better than the original). Make a mental note to ask me in thirty years time if I think Karen O is still brilliant live. |
