Review:
Brixton is a small, intiment venue where most seats feel close to the stage. This gives the audience the closeness to the artist not affordable at arenas. This closeness results in a marked feeling of adoration to the stage. As any performer knows, this responce is picked up by the artist and reflected back. Such was the performance tonight. Bob was said to have had just recoverd from larangytis that had been affecting his performances. He was feeling good on this night. He clearly enjoyed himself, the audience, the band, the venue, and the performance. He poured himself into it.
Wicked Messenger is a new, but powerful opening, and Yea! Heavy And A Bottle Of Bread is a surprise. Lovesick, Hard Rain and a sublime Boots of Spanish Leather were highlights of the show. As always, CC's package is to die for. This set was also released in a box set entitled London Tour 2003 that contained three other double disc releases of London venues.
