Went to see Dr Feelgood and the Mick Taylor Blues Band last night. The Feelgoods were superb - completely brilliant. Mick Taylor was, on the other hand, pretty crap really. Apart from appearing to be wearing three of Elton John's wigs and he struck me as being well out of it and he was fluffing runs and singing very, very badly. The numbers were all medium tempo and entirely self indulgent - long meandering lick based solos which didn't gel with what the rest of the band were playing. No passion of any kind. Snowy White was much better when he got the chance to solo, though he was also self indulgent and meandering to a certain extent. The piano player played some very odd stuff too - again didn't quite fit. Very disappointing indeed, especially when you consider how much the tickets were!
