Face Of Cheam

A rare UK show by legendary artist Leon Russell. Now in his seventies he has collaborated with nearly everyone and has an album out later in the year with Elton John. No guests tonight though as he journeyed through his solo hits and a few covers. He opened with Delta Lady, the song Joe Cocker turned into a smash in the early 70s. The covers included the Stones Wild Horses and a rocknroll medley to climax the set. Now well and truely a pensioner the vocals were not great though his fellow bearded band were compontant enough to carry him through for a good show. However, it didn't leave me enough in the mood to rush back if he suddenly snnounced more dates later in the year.
