18-Jan-08 London Concert Review

Here is Alan's take on the show:
Good solid show with Van in excellent voice; he played lots of sax in the early stages, more guitar later on. "Have I Told You Lately" and "Precious Time" out of the way early on. Georgie Fame guesting on "Vanlose Stairway".

The show really took off towards the end with a really excellent "In The Afternoon/Ancient Highway/Raincheck/Joe Turner Sings", then "And The Healing Has Begun" taking us up to the 90 minute mark. Van then returned to the stage for a couple of "bonus tracks", "Help Me" and "Gloria".

An enjoyable concert. While there's a chance of performances like the "In The Afternoon" medley, I'll continue to go to these shows.
