The Daltrey/Messiah show

["" <jcraine@hotmail.com>]

well,the show is now over...
first off,if anyone's planning on hunting down the video,be prepared that 
it's a classical/rock/gospel type show...
great show for that music though..
there was a bad hitch last night though - jeffrey osborne opens the show and 
he walked out from the side onto centre stage..lifted the mic..started to 
sing...no sound!!!
he was extremely p'd off...
but thankfully it picked up from there..
Roger was on 3rd for a solo song which was great..he had a fantastic stage 
presence ,looked so young and tidy..wearing a waistcoat first,then a suit 
later on..
dont think ive ever seen him in a suit before..
and here for your pleasure is  a pic of him in suit...

Move around that site and irish-times.ie for more pics of the show..
I'll be getting my own ones developed in the coming days and can post the 
better few..

it was a very controversial show here as they had grants from taxpayers 
money as part of a millenium fund and some thought it shouldnt have been 
spent on an event that not everyone could see....
but thats all another story..

Roger's songs were the most rock oriented in the show and definitely the 
best...they really suited his voice and he seemed to be really enjoying it..

He did 2 more solo songs plus a song with gladys night;then a song at the 
end with gladys,chaka kahn and jeffrey osborne...

Gladys knight was also excellent...Chaka khan wasn't the best...she looked 
out of place there..
aidan quinn was  the compere for the show - just read a few introductions...
on the way in I saw Gabriel Byrne - not sure if he was at the show but he 
was walking around nearby

btw - did ANYONE get tickets for shepherds bush???
i got through at 9.08am and they were sold out!!
