Enjoy it!!

I really enjoyed reading your blog and can nod at so many of the feelings from when I first saw Stray Cats in Zurich '08. The moment they walked onto the stage I'll never forget!

When a dream comes true... there are no words to describe the feeling you get!!

I did well to get that feeling twice that year, with Stray Cats in August and Queen + PR in November. Two bands that I thought I would probably never see live I got to in one year!

Brian with Mark and Bernie, was a great band. Glasgow, got awake up call.

I've seen the Brian & the CBS in Paris in september 2001. Fantastic show and nice memory. My second Brian's gig (the first was in 1989 in... Paris !) I remember I was afraid the show could be cancelled just some few days after the awful attacks of the september 11th. But Brian was here and so pretty

Hey Setzerado,
I thought like you: I thought the show was about to be cancelled but fortunatelly, it wasn't. I remember Brian looking at the US flag before performing Gentle On My Mind.

I also remember me throwing a letter to Bernie... that unfortunatelly fell between the barrier and the stage... and the security guys wouldn't leave it on the stage... I told them "please, leave them on the stage and then, if the Bernie wants to take it... it's up to him" and they all went "no no no, we cannot do that, you'll have to try again"... fuck, I was only 16!!!!

I was also at the gig in Glasgow!.

I thought the piano worked a treat that night.

Can"t take in it"s 10 years since the "Gorbals" ROCKED!.
