MARCH 16TH MASSEY HALL TORONTO

WELL WELL WELL
JEFF AND COMPANY WERE BACK LAST NIGHT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN AS MANY YEARS , AND WERE IN STELLAR FORM FROM THE FIRST NOTE,AS THEY HIT THE STAGE AT THE QUAINT AND LOVELY MASSEY HALL.
THE HUMBLE ONE WAS DEAD ON AS HE DISPERSED HIS MAGIC FROM HIS STRAT AND TELECASTER USING A WAH PEDAL FOR FOUR BARS AS HIS ONLY EFFECTS FOR THE EVENING.
SUPPORTED BY DRUMMER ANDY GANGADEEN,BASSIST RANDY HOPE TAYLOR AND STUNNING JENNIFER BATTEN ON SECOND GUITAR AND MIDI TRIGGERS THE OVERALL SHOW WAS FASCINATING.
JEFF COVERED A LOT OF GROUND STARTING WITH EARTHQUAKE FROM THE NEW CD 'YOU HAD IT COMING TO YOU'
THEN INTO NUMBERS FROM JEFFS GUITAR SHOP,WHO ELSE AND WIRED
AND THE ALWAYS EXCELLENT 'THE PUMP' FROM THE THERE AND BACK ALBUM.
A DAY IN A LIFE BY THE BEATLES WAS GIVEN AN IMPRESSIVE
TREATMENT BY THE MASTER,FOLLOWED BY AN ENCORE MEDLEY OF
WHERE WERE YOU,GOODBYE PORK PIE HAT,ROSEBUD AND FINNISHING
WITH WHAT MAMA SAID FROM THE WHO ELSE CD.
BUT ONLY A FEW WORDS WERE SPOKEN BY HIM ALL NIGHT ONLY AT THE VERY END OF THE SHOW'CANT STAND THE SOUND OF ME OWN VOICE'HE QUIPPED BUT ALAS HE SPOKE VOLUMES FROM HIS GUITAR
AND WHAT HE SAID FROM THERE WAS PRICELESS.
YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW CD AND THEN YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO GO SEE HIM AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
YOU WILL NEVER BE DISAPOINTED.
TILL NEXT TIME.
