TIGHT, IN GOOD HUMOUR & on form - this band get better & better !

The set list: Fireball, Maybe I'm A Leo, Ted The Mechanic, Pictures Of Home, Woman From Tokyo, Cascades, Black Night, No One Came, Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming, Mary Long, Rosa's Cantina, Smoke On The Water, Organ Improvisation, When A Blind Man Cries, Purpendicular Waltz, Somebody Stole My Guitar, Speedking - Perfect Strangers, Hey Cisco, Highway Star.

Highlight was "When A Blind Man Cries" - sublime guitar & IG giving it his all. Lowpoint "Mary Long" - never a strong song & suffers in comparison with the new material.

At times Steve Morse & Jon Lord reminded me of Van Leer & Akkerman from Focus.

Excellent duelling between guitar, vocals & keyboards some spontaneous. At times Paicey appeared to tire of IG's lengthy introductions "This is another true story......" all in good humour - lots of smiles.

Superb light show and the sweetest sound mix I have heard for along time.

What a show, what a band - come to Cambridge again soon please..!
