Face Of Cheam

Celebrating 20 years since Waking Up The Neighbours this should have been a lot better than it actually was. I was fortuanate enough to see Bryan at his live peak between 87 & 94 where simply the shows were awesome. Unfortuanately here he got the setlist and versions of songs wrong. For some reason Summer of 69 is played far too early, versions of Hey Honey and Is Your Mama Gonna Miss Ya are played acoustically with a Micky Curry pots and pans solo. And again there are too many ballads. Possibly the most annoying thing however, was that he has lost his hardcore crowd. Not many people sand the first load of Nanananas in Cuts Like A Knife and only five people I could see were clapping in the solo of Run To You. Previously it would have been a whole stadium. He obviously won't return to his peak, but when he played Hearts On Fire and There Will Never Be Another Tonight the potential is there to do much better gigs in the future.
