Sunday just gone, I attended my cities annual Blues and Roots festival, The leading acts were John Fogerty, Crosby Stills and Nash, Steve Earle and The Pogues. It was FANTASTIC. What a day.
Fogerty headlined and was on for two hours, He played all of Cosmos Factory plus other CCR hits and his solo stuff, His voice is still amazing and we sung and danced our hearts out. My housemate has been a fan of his forever and he was awestruck.
CSN - A favorite of mine as I love the harmonies, Marrakesh Express was good but the harmonies weren't really there, they were in other songs but not this one, which was a bit of a let down. I remember singing this to my sister when we were on The Marrakesh Express in Morocco and she thought I was making it up
Steve Earle was AMAZING - I love this guys voice!! He really sings with his accent, He also came out to sing with CSN when they sang Teach your children well.
The Pogues - Well.. I am a little in awe of these guys, Shane MacGowans' voice sounded like he'd been punched out my Tyson, smoked a carton of cigarettes and eaten a bowl of cornflakes with no milk - PERFECT.
The sun was shining, the crowds were happy and free and the cider flowed nicely, Best day I've had for yonks!
