Hi!
I went ot the first concert in Luxembourg yesterday.
I must admit I'm a bit disappointed...The concert can be qualified as an "ordinary" concert by Chris Rea.The only difference is the support act by Chris himself and a band called (at that time) The Delmonts.They played instrumentals during half an hour.Those musicians and the Hofner Blue Notes are exactly the same...
The second part and the concert himself didn't bring any surprises, old popular songs everybody know and much less Chris new bluesy style. I expected more of that music I must admit.
Anyway the quality of sound , music and performance was fantastic and I'm sure you will enjoy the show anyway.
These are the songs played yesterday:
First part with The Delmonts:
Dirty new towm
008 Jimmy Bond
Indie Arab
Pink guitar
Russian roulette
Black wave heroes
French football
BB was a commanche
It's behind you
Second part with the HBN
I can't wait for love
Where the blues comes from
Josephine
Easy rider
Julia
Stony road
Looking for the summer
The shadow of a fool
Stainsby girls
The road to hell
On the beach
Let's dance
Fool (if you think...)
2 hours sharp of a great show but without surprise.
The good thing for you is that this concert was the first so maybe it will change a bit after a few dates.
For thoses interested the new earbook is on sale before (or after) the show at 59€ + other merchandising stuff.
Hope you will enjoy the concert you will go to.
