I hope there's no lasting structural damage to the Bristol Hotel because we blew the roof off on Saturday! ;D
This was the Old Bristolians Hockey Club Annual Dinner and our first gig for a while. For several reasons too boring to go into, the Woods live show has had a bit of a delayed start this year. Ok, since you ask, here's a couple of reasons! We've got a new line-up and had a whole slew of new songs to learn. We pride ourselves in giving the best show possible, you see. Oh, and I broke my nose a couple of months ago! Not the best thing to happen to a singer...
So, this was the first gig for the Woods version 2 and (even if I do say so myself) we are twice as good as we were before! We kicked off at 10.30pm and wound up after 4 encores at 1 in the morning. Probably would have gone on longer but that's when the room was booked to (and the bar had stopped serving!).
It couldn't have gone much better and it was largely due to a fantastic audience and great event organisation (and us, of course!). The dance floor was packed from start to finish and featured the best dancing ever seen at a Woods show (and that's saying something, believe me!). Some great sing-a-longs, too. Sorry for any requests we couldn't play (alas we don't know every song that's been written
but everyone appeared to have a blast and that certainly included us! This might even be the best show we've done - the bar has been raised and set! So, a huge thanks to the Old Bristolians for inviting us down and being so brilliant - let's do it again next year!
Here's what we played:
Travelin' Band/You Really got Me/Paperback Writer/It Must be Love/Don't Wanna go on with you like That/Don't Stop me Now/Proud Mary/Bad Moon Rising/Lady Madonna/Midnight Hour/Gimme Some Lovin'/What'd I Say/7 Nights to Rock/Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting
C'mon Everybody/Little Queenie/Hard Day's Night/Get Back/Keep on Running/That'll be the Day/Squeeze Box/Heatwave/Peter Gunn theme/Shakin' all Over/Still Rock N Roll to Me/Barefootin'/Roll Over Beethoven/Johnny Be. Goode/Rocking all over the World/Great Balls of Fire
Whole lotta Shakin'/Do you Love Me/Rock and Roll Music/Hippy Hippy Shakes
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
