Southside Johnny & Asbury Jukes
 

They're playing at our local record store on Saturday before the regular gig later that evening. :-)

You going? They are at their best (if you ask me) in small places and non-formal gatherings. I'll bet this could be fun.

Of course I am Kathleen wouldn't miss it for the world.

Give us a good review tomorrow. Jeff keeps commenting on Facebook about how much fun he is having.

I will. Unfortunately the record store gig is cancelled. Due to time issues I suspect. That would have been the icing on the cake but hey we still got a great show to look forward to tonight!

Have a great time. I'm sure you will :)

So I'm back home after an awesome show tonight in Gothenburg. The place takes approx. 1000 people and I guess there were maybe 6-700 in the audience so not packed so you could move around. The setlist are the songs I think I remember in no particular order. I'm sure I've missed a song or two. The show was approx. 2,5 hours. I had 3 friends with me who have never seen SSJ before and they are now hooked (of course).
Johnny pointed out 3 young guys up front (Bruce fans) and remarked that they frightened him cause they looked like his friends in high school aka 1967! One of the guys is a Bruce-clone from that period! it's really scary. There were also 2 guys in the audience who're in a band and they know their SSJ very well. They got their request and also got to sing with them. Jeff also did a song on his own but don't remember which one it was.
One of my friends also remarked that it always blows her away when she hears Johnny live cause he's got such an amazing voice. Johnny promised that they'll be back in April next year so I'm already looking forward to that. Haha he said he'll be camping outside the whole year so be sure to bring him sandwiches. I have sore feet from all the dancing and now I'm gonna relax with a whisky. Too bad it's over already. Next year we'll probably go to Stockholm and Malmö also for those shows.

edit: correct setlist

I''m so glad you enjoyed it - and I love the setlist in whatever order it was sung. Anytime he sings A Change is Gonna Come - is a good night. He really does it justice.

Yeah that one was really good. The whole show was like a big party really.

This show is now up on dime in case anyone is interested.
