I went to this gig and it was pretty bad. The guitar work was poor – he should have a guitarist with him. Jon is a legend but it was a let down, reading the lyrics and forgetting others. Hopefully the tour will improve along the way. Glad to see he was looking well after his illness. Sorry to say not worth £25

Jon was on fine form and the atmosphere in the place was really intimate and informal – a meeting of old friends. I don’t think it mattered a jot that he fluffed the odd line and blew the odd chord. As ever, his voice was perfect (even if the memory is going a little LOL) – it just added to a perfect evening.
Ten true summers . . . . .

Couldn’t afford £25..They wanted £30 for Eric Burdon.Don’t you think ticket sales have gone through the roof?
Glad I didn’t go by the sound of it..

I was at the gig on friday night. Sure, he fluffed his lines a few times but who the hell cares ! this was a moving performance by a true legend who has quite obviously and recently been seriously ill. His voice was still sublime and I feel privileged to have witnessed it. I hope Jon makes a full recovery and is able to rejoin the other band members in the near future.

With the current world Depression its time ticket prices were dropped £25 is lot of money if you dont have a job. concert prices are still going up. U2 have led the way by selling tickets as low as 30 pounds for the bands 360 world tour
