A good show with an annoying audience. It felt like Ian had to get in the mood, but when he did he was on fire.
He played over 2 hours, ending with a fantastic version of Warren Zevons'Werewolves of London.

The setlist held many covers, Ian making each his own:
Bob Dylan
Warren Zevon
Junior Wells
Howlin'Wolf
Kris Kristofferson
Chuck Berry("one of the greatest songwriters and biggest assholes that's ever lived)
Bryan Adams tease ("I fucking hate that song")
Rod Stewart
Otis Redding
Muddy Waters

Moreover Ian sang 2 songs of the upcoming album with the North Mississippi Allstars, The Skinny.

Between songs there's Ian's talk, which is quite funny. Just listen to the story of John O'Grady.
As Ian remarked that story will get exaggerated over time.

The band members added a lot to the show: regular drummer Nikolaj Bjerre had to undergo an operation, so Ian had borrowed Matt Scofield's drummer.
Andy Graham was his own cool self, great bass player, who rightly is the winner of the 2010 British Blues Awards.

Apart from real fans Ian seems to attract people who just want to be there out of sensation, to see how he behaves on stages,
how much he drinks etc. Middle aged men who have taken too many pills and too many beers to prove how hip
and young they are, shouting stupid remarks. In general the audience was very talkative, something Ian commented on.
People bumped into me all the time. One moron managed to get tangled up in the wires of my mics and they were only
sticking out of my bag just a bit. He asked whether I was checking on people. Don't know what he was thinking
(if he was thinking at all). Fortunately it didn't affect the further recording and
he had the good sense to do it during the Summer of 69 tease, Ian would approve of that (lol).
