I saw them in Cincy during this tour... as tight a band as I've ever heard! I was totally awe-struck. Shame few of his videos on here contain some of the stories he would tell between songs... he's also an excellent story-teller.
100% agreed on every comment on this page so far. Richards the top man in my opinion. @ Mulwany..Totally agree mate ! Met Richard & Danny 3 years ago..2 very humble,pleasant men..Pure Genius!Thanks once again,Cleapatr.
I grew up with Heavy Metal but he is the heaviest mofo on the planet. Him and Nick Cave,As great as Hank Williams. People-we live in the age of great artists and we should celebrate that Beethoven never had broadband
@Mulwany Totally agree. Him and his bass "Victoria" have been around the block for many years. Met him with Richard when they did their two man show a couple of years back. Two very humble men.
@johnmckinlay67 That should be "He and his bass". Sorry, that was my almost terminal case of OCD talking there. On another note, I was privileged to see Mr. Mayall in two small venues back in the early 70s. After Richard Thompson, I believe he was the most friendly performer back in the day. He actually talked to us during the breaks. Unheard of in these days.
This is a must listen to all those who think a string bass is lost in an electric band!

An effortless classic - almost greedy to expect too many of these but he has done more than his fair share of top draw jobs. Bring back the beret!
