The Slow Show

Amazing gig - up there with my all time faves (I'm an old bugger that has been going to gigs for around 40 years now!) Had a multitude of emotions felt at various gigs over the years but this is the first that provoked tears from the very first song. Meeting and chatting with Chris and Joel down the side of the chapel prior to the gig was sweet and a little disorientating - lovely guys and so many things I should have said but didn't so will put some of it here! Rob is the reason people pay attention to the band and his voice is so very special. Musically Frederik has a beauty to the tunes and rythyms of his playing that keeps the band on track but... Chris - not sure I have ever heard anyone get so much out of a drumkit, boy do they take a pounding - drums are meant to be the beat for the music - you take them to another level and add more emotion to the music than should be possible! Chris - just wow - so gentle, so subtle, but the more I listen to your band the more I realise how sublime your playing is and it's not all about about Rob's voice - quite a new convert to The Slow Show but you are rapidly becoming one of my favoutite guitarists. Maybe this will be read, maybe not - but if you have not heard The Slow Show live - just go - there is loads of stuff on youtube but being there is 1000 times better. And if you read this Rob - I know you deserve a break after the tour but I really can't wait to see you all live again as soon as possible so please don't have too long a break! And finally, and above all else - thank you all so much, please keep making music that makes me feel - you are all individually amazing but what you produce collectively is unsurpassed. XXX D
