Review by A. & H. Adkins
We two girls flew to Nice from Birmingham UK the day before the show.
Lovely weather when we arrived after our 1 hour 40 minute flight. It didn't t
ake us long to find our hotel so once we'd checked in, all ready to go the next
day. Next afternoon sat by the hotel pool in the sun and two men also staying
said they were going to the show. One was from England also and the other was
from New York. They were travelling around different places for the shows.
One of them said this year was better with Charlie back. We were looking
forward to seeing him too. Still by the pool around 3.30 we saw an helicoptor
landing at the airport. We wondered, just wondered if it could be Bob coming
from his last place. But no cause it wouldn't be but then again it would be
very hot on those coaches Anyway we decide to walk to the venue which takes
about 30 minutes. A very long queue, but didn't take long to get in. People
around very friendly, helpful stewards. Our seats are for the side area to the
right/behind where Bob stands. Not so good.There was no GA admission tickets
for this venue. The music starts, out comes Bob looking cool in his dark jacket
with red inlets and pale hat. After a couple of songs, a lot of the folks
around us try and get nearer to
the rail. 2 stewards stand so no one allowed along the rail in front of
people seated. We go too and are a lot lot closer Then suddenly after about 9
songs the stewards let everyone go to the rail, at the front. We manage to get
right in front of Bob, the closest I've seen him, which is a dream. And now
about the songs. We both loved all the songs but especially hearing What Good
Am I and John Brown. I was hoping he would do Forever Young , but perhaps
another time. Must have been very hot Bob was wiping his face a few times
between songs in the dark. How come us lucky ones hear 17 songs and some other
shows have 16? shame we couldn't get to more shows on this tour but for other
commitments. We're now back home in our midlands town. Thanks Bob and your
band, see you in Kent. Can't wait.
