Id dieeee to be with yoooooooo tonight!!!!!!!!!!!





It was just a bit of a laugh when Rez said 'hilarious - Jimmy Barnes is performing in London - lets go see him?!' Ok, why not, Ive never seen his entirety in concert, and hopefully from the reviews of the tour, he will be doing some classic Oz tracks that are on your list of 'things to do before you die' ie 'see Jimmy Barnes sing/ scream Khe Sahn and Flame Trees live'. Well I have now managed to tick this box. Not only did he sing these two classics, he also managed to belt out for about 2 hrs some other classic (or not so classic!) tunes such as Lay down your guns (my fave from when I was 16 - wow what a long time ago!) Feels like only yesterday when that was a hit on the new album of the time, the cruisin soulful Jimmy era 'Soul Deep'. THe youngest 2 Tin Lid members Jacki and Elly May joined the enterage, Jacki being quite the drummer, but was a bit dissapointed to see that what Jimmy probably thought was an opportunity to give the youngest daughter a shot at stardom beyond Tin Lids ended up being a 'stand on stage and act the spoilt brat/cant smile/cant dance but can look like a 10c hooker' was a bad call.
Mica Paris and Andrew Roachford also made great guest appearance - more like a i can sing/scream louder -fest!
