THE 100th SPECIAL MIX FOR F.S.V.B

To Celebrate the 100th Mix for F.S.V.B, George the DJ has  Mixed a Special Collection of Tracks from my 2 Favorite Artists of All-Time, the Great Slave and the Even Greater Al Green.

It's a fantastic Mix, from 2 Performer's of Differing Material, and of course also included in there are some Steve Arrington (& Hall of Fame) Track's! See full Playlist Below.

I have seen both Al Green and Slave in Concert, both were Great, Slave was in 1984 and Al Green last year, I may get another chance to see Al Green in the Future, but Slave is a different story!

Thanks to George for a Great Mix from 2 Great Artists (3 really) Checkout the links to George's Sites, where you will find Plenty of other Great Mixes, and Info on Booking Him for your Special Occasion, in the Manteca Area of California!

BANDS & SINGERS I HAVE SEEN IN CONCERT!!!!! part 5

 AL GREEN, What can I say, he was BRILLIANT, he is an Awesome Singer, a Fantastic Showman, and not a bad Dancer for an Oldie!

It was a Great night all round, and one thing's for Sure, If he ever comes back to UK for a Tour, me & Susan, will be there again. I hope next time he Performs on his own, then we will get to see and hear more of his Song's, but perhaps the reason for a 2 Artist Tour is Age, I dont know!

See my previous Posts about Singer's and Band's I have seen in Concert, but one thing's for Sure, none them Reached the Standard of Al Green!

His Band were Great, I especially liked the Horn Section, from the Intro, when AG walked on the Stage untll the start of  L.O.V.E, what a Great Entrance, The Horn Section played the start of L.O.V.E Twice, that  was BRILLIANT!

I believe I counted a 14 piece Band including 4 Backing Singer's, 3 of which were Al Greens Daughter's, Alva, Ruby & Kora. There was what we thought a Refreshing change from the Norm, 2 Dancers, that were Male! (rather than scantily dressed women)


I have tried to remember the Songs he sung, cant remember in what order they were sung, apart from the Opener and the Last Song!

L.o.v.e
Amazing Grace
Nearer my God, to Thee (Sam Cooke)
Lets Stay Together
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
Simply Beautiful
Here I Am
Tired of Being Alone

Everythings Gonna be Alright 
Lay It Down
Stay With Me (by the sea)
A tribute to Motown (4 tops & Temps) & Otis Redding
Love and Happiness (Final Song)


I think thats it, if I remember any more or somebody knows differently (Please let me know) and I will amend Post.

I have found plenty of Concert Reports on the Net, here is a Selection of them...........

The Arts Desk
The New York Times
Perth Now
The Independent
The Sydney Festival

The Sydney Morning Herald
The Australian
Wales Online

Here's a couple of  Videos from the O2, I found on Youtube.


Photo's of Al Green from the Sydney Festival last January.
 
I took a few Photo's & Video during Concert, which are on here, but I realised what a Cr@ppy Camera I have, when I saw all the blurry Photo's. The Video is only 30 Seconds long, I thought the Camera had stopped working, but it hadn't! anyway its better than nothing!



So with all the travelling to get to O2, Hotel costs and expense etc, was it worth it! of course it was, we would go again tomorrow if given the chance! 

If I was a moaner, you could say the Show should have been a bit longer (it was about 75 mins), why did he sing other peoples song's! (when he has plenty of his own!) and why no Encore!

But as I'm not moaning, so disreguard what you just read!


One Word to describe the Whole Trip, From Susan seeing her Brother, who lives about 10 minutes from the O2 in the East End, he took us to Canary Wharf etc, to the Concert itself........
                           
                     FANTASTIC
        & roll on the next time!
