Special guest:
Mary Wilson (The Supremes)

My first gig on this tour. Good to see this fantastic band again after a long time as well as catch up with other music buddies and friends. Everything about this great band has been said already so I would only be repetitive. If somebody has the chance to see them - just do so, strongly recommended .. as Bill used to put it 'you will go home with a smile on your face'.

 Some new songs in the set but also some good old standards were kept which are crowd pleasers and caused the lovely audience to get up and dance away. The complete setlists are included in the album. As to the audience, they were just great, the spark jumped over immediately. Mary Wilson is an excellent addition to the show, she did not only her well-known Supremes hits, her outstanding duet with Georgie Fame on STORMY WEATHER deserves a special mention.
