SLADE at the Globe Annex in Stockholm, Sweden 

As requested some comments from the gig 15.04.2006 -

Saturday at the Globe Annex in Stockholm, Sweden .

It was a night arranged by Hans Edler and called "Kings of Glam Rock" with
T-rextasy, Tears and Sweet also on the bill.

T-rexatasy was good - second time I have seen them and the guy could be Marc
Bolans young brother! Both in looks and vocals. Song to remember: "Get it
On"...

Tears - sorry guys I know you are Swedish but this was not good...
Song to remember: none

Sweet got everyone going real good! Andy Scott looks a little uncommitted
but lightens up as the show progressed. Huge string of hits in a short set
(maybe 50 minutes) but all the classics: Teenage rampage, Papa Joe, Ballroom
blitz, Fox on the run, Wig wam bam and so on.
Great preformance and it really got people going!

Next up - SLADE! My forth time I have seen them but first with Mal on
vocals. I am dually impressed! I was concerned when i wrote that somebody
said "that he sounded like Noddy"...nobody can ever sound like Noddy and
copies will just sound silly.
Well, Mal doesn't sound like Noddy but he has the right type of voice to
handle songs like "Get down and get with it" and "comon feel the noise".
I beleive that Steve was a better singer per say but Mal fits the roll
better - well done!

Again - a short set of about one hour but real rock´n´Roll and the guys
seemed to enjoy themselfs.
Dave was in a great mood and move around the stage more then I have ever
seen!
Don is a true Rock´N´Roll HERO and broke at least 5 sticks during the set.
He looks like he is in trans when he plays!

Setlist:

We'll Bring The House Down / Take Me Bak 'Ome
Far, Far Away
Coz I Luv You (John on violin, Mal on bass)
Run Runaway (John on violin, Mal on bass)
My Oh My
Look Wot You Dun
Gudbuy T'Jane
Mama Weer All Crazee Now
Get Down With It

encores
Cum On Feel The Noize
merry Christmas Everybody

Great show and highlight is Dave and Mal "running away" across stage during
Run, run away...silly but very funny!

Saw something about them playing on a boat in Sweden 2nd of September...well
if that's true I will be there as always.

Cheers and keep on Rockin!
