Roger Daltrey and Friends
Brief review: A trip to the "Far East" and an afternoon spent in the record shops and pubs of Southend (which were let's say, mixed!). Opted to come here rather than the London Palladium date as we fancied a day out and it was cheaper. Roger's solo shows are usually eclectic - and there are some songs that I'm not especially familiar with. I was thinking that Wilco Johnson may guest (being a local) - apparently he was asked, but was not available.
A bit of a scuffle broke out behind us due to two blokes constantly chatting loudly during the first 2-3 songs. It was clear that they had been enjoying a beverage or two, but having argued with those around them, had the good sense to distance themselves from the situation - which improved everyone else's enjoyment of the evening.
Venue and View: Back of stalls (due to the price of front!). A fair distance back, but clear line of sight to the stage.
