Went to a show at the Keswick that was truely very well named. The Rock Royalty Tour had probably 3 of the main British Invasion bands together in one show. First act was The Spencer Davis Group. Spencer was in great form with his voice still sounding like it did 40 years ago. He was an extremely gracious individual in that after his set, he hung out in the lobby of the Keswick for the remainder of the evening, chatting with fans and signing autographs. The next act were The Yardbirds. The have a talent for getting some great guitarist (past being, Clapton, Beck, and Page) and now Ben King is no exception. Ben is a fantastic guitarist and will help the band in the future. The songs were are done great with a lot of interplay between band members. And the final act were The Zombies. I have to admit that Colin's voice was in rare form and sounding better than ever. Rod was of course on the keyboards, and together they sounded great. I totally enjoyed the entire night, but still cant figure out how, an Iconic song such as "Gimme some Lovin" that is played probably every night of the tour, HOW can the keyboard player mess up the organ intro?????????? Other than that bad note incident, the memories flooded back to the days of my youth and being in a band.
