Al Green At The Nia

[Marrs bar pete]

Just got back from a most wonderful night of tingly moments, actually there were so many they seemed to blend into one. Al Green is one of those 'Do before ya die ' shows and what a show at NIA in brum , full house of real fans they were dancing in the ilses to all the old tunes . first up tho at 7.30 sharp was our very own Gabrielle, no patch! but tasty designer eye wear, did an hour of great stuff .I'd forgotten how many great tracks she's done, it was a fantastic start to the show . The Roadies came on and ajusted everything in time for the main event. The band took there places the lead femme vocalist gave a little address and in typical american Razzamatazz and whoha on walked a now portly pushing 60 year old gentleman in a dj and shades Yes folks it was The great AL GREEN armed with 50 roses which he threw to all the lovely ladies who were creaming there pants to get one any way the show was brilliant, all your favs were covered , for me the highlight was ' let's get married' which he did early doors as bonding thing between him and his audience the low light was tho 'no oncor ( spell check that ) he could've come back and done 'Take me to the river ' that would've been the icing on the cake . ah well thats another one ticked off for me now, only 'Aretha' left...
