HW: Rock City (here we go).

[J D]

Hi,
Difficult to define "what was missing" .....
Just playing some old classics doesn't necessarily make it a great gig for
me.
You gotta play 'em right.
Take Kings Of Speed in '89(?) ... what was the point in that?
You'd Better Believe It was dire, I thought, despite it being a personal fav
from 74.
Thought the 2 news songs were appalling.
Didn't think Ron was on form.
Came away, disappointed, that's all I can really say.
I'd love to hear a decent tape from the tour to try and check what I'm
saying.
Can anybody help?
Anyway, I don't like dwelling on the bad points, I'm really looking froward
to the tour, which was my main point, and still is.
Cheers,
Jez
