The Albert Lee Bad did 3 double gigs at the Iridium New York. The shows on 9th February were broadcast via webstream all over the world in excellent quality. A big thanks to the Iridium staff for making it possible for us here in Europe to 'attend' the gig !
Brief remark: Unfortunately, the set list offered no new material only songs we've heard so many times before. Some songs were played slower than with Hogan's Hogans, especially Gram Parsons' 'Wheels' didn't sound that good but probably I'm spoilt by Hogan's Heroes fast style and the variety they offer. I missed the steel guitar especially on the country songs. Albert was in great shape and made up a lot by his excellent guitar work. My favourites in the set: Carl Perkins' song RESTLESS, Gram Parsons' LUXURY LINER and the Ray Charles tune LEAVE MY WOMAN ALONE. The keyboard player J.T. Thomas deserves a special mention!
