Review from Blue Lena:
Oh what a night! It's 12:40am and I am back at the hotel, hot and tired, but
happy that my last show of the tour (I won't be here Sunday) surpassed my
expectations.
I certainly thought tonight was better than Tues. night.
The sound was crisper and the guitars were LOUD. Mick commented on the front
sections being filled mostly with his and Charlie's families. From the moments
the gates opened and the tigers came out, they rocked the house. I didn't find
there to be any real mistakes tonight and the crowd seemed more enthusiastic
than Tues., at least from where I was sitting.
All Down the Line was buzzing with guitars and I thought they did a very decent
version of She's So Cold. The absolute highlight of tonight's show for me was
Shine A Light! Wow. Brilliant. I waited a long time to hear that song played
live and finally tonight during my 75th show I got it! I had asked Tim Ries
before the show to put in a good word for it, afterall he plays keys with Chuck
on it. I was afraid they were saving it for Sunday since they rehearsed Angie as
well. I shed a tear during that one, it was a moment when time stood still.
Rambler was brilliant as always, Keith was fun to watch during that one. I'll Go
Crazy was enjoyable again with wonderful horns and the lovely Lisa stealing the
show.
Keith didn't change his set, but did a nice job and always adds new lines to
Wanna Hold You. He lit up again and said "might as well get busted!"
It was a classic line delivered perfectly as he took one drag and flicked it
away. I went to the B stage and got front rail this time. Great view of the
entire set and tossed Keith a scarf during HTW. As the streamers fell from the
ceiling I was thankful that I was here to see the boys one last time on their
home turf...but Mick did say that the press is making a big deal out of these
shows being the last ones and he basically said it's not true!
During the final bow I saw my scarf around Keith's neck among a multitude of
other scarves he's collected. On the way out the doors I was interviewed by TV
who asked me if they should hang it up? Hell no, they are better than ever I
said! Goodnight from London.
