‘Super Animal’ is the song that Jon tests the crowd to see if his guitar riffs are good enough before the song gets going with attitude to a great bluesy beat with its heavy rhythm section. Next was ‘Unbroken Love’ a new song with its great R&B beat and strident vocals from Jon with funky backing.
To finish the first set, we had ‘Lay it on the Line’ with a raunchy funky beat, great guitar play & vocals from Jon, then ‘Rolling with Thunder’ with Justin Johnson on lead vocals with its keys interplay and then ‘If I Ever Lived Another Woman’ a song released in 2017 with multimillion streams and the bands most streamed song. It is a slower R&B song with passionate guitar and keys with solid rhythm section and impassioned vocals from Jon.
Then after a short break for food and drink re-supply the band came back with the rocky ‘Living on Borrowed Time’ followed by another with ‘Valley of the Fallen Kings’ a classic blues rock song with strident vocals from Jon.
‘Got Me Reeling’ – is another great R&B number with funky backing and powerful vocals from Jon and supportive keys from Arran, followed by ‘What’s the Deal’ another new song with its powerful up beat tempo, full on guitars and Jon’s strident vocals.
‘6 Strings Loaded’ another fans favourite included a bass solo from the returning founder member Mick Jeynes. Then ‘Standing in the Rain’ which is a personal song for Jon who lives with depression and EDS, and is a slower tempo song but with passionate sounding guitar and vocals.
Next was a cover of a Freddie King song ‘Have you Ever Loved a Woman’ with its great bluesy guitar & keys solo from Arran. Another cover was ‘Going Down’ which starts with offbeat piano from Arran before it kicks in heavy on this crowd pleaser blues number.
‘Black Dog Blues’ is another chirpy (according to Jon) song about depression with great rolling guitar, heavy beat with more guitar keys interplay. Followed by ‘Money & Run’ which is another new song which is a quick tempo blues rock song with solid rhythm section. To finish we had Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Voodoo Child’ with a mash up into portions of rock songs from the 1970/80s, including AC/DC's 'Back in Black', with Wah Wah pedal with Jon’s guitar.
After standing applause he had for an encore ‘Empire and a Prayer’ which is a classic blues rock song with great beat & tempo and powerful vocals from Jon.
This was a tour de force from a brilliant blues rock band with lots of attitude and character.
