| Thanks for sharing your pics Marty! Hope you'll get to post more soon... It's really disappointing to see that only a few people were there, as you said. Hopefully it will change for the other gigs... | |

| JSS/Tempestt in Dudley 2nd March
What do you do when you’re in a strange country, your support band are supposed to be supplying the gear for a gig (eg the drumkit), the doors are about to open, you're looking at a big empty stage, and then you find out the support band are not coming? That was the dilemma facing Jeff and Tempestt last night.
Fortunately they had the answer – send for SuperFrank! Young Uncle HeFTy, Jeff’s usual tour manager who was here just as a guest tonight, sprang into action to save the day. After a lot of frantic ringing around he managed to source a drumkit for hire and sped off to pick it up.
An hour later he’s back and the show can go on. The band finally take to the stage around 9.30pm – minus the support.
Yet again it was a poor turnout. JBs usually pulls in plenty of punters but, with little advertising, I guess most people weren’t even aware Jeff or Tempestt were in town.
However, Jeff always delivers and, despite the adversity, he and the guys from Tempestt put on a great show. The sound at JBs is never brilliant, and of course the band had no chance of any kind of soundcheck, but even so I think it was a much better show than Saturday’s show in London. The band were more relaxed and threw in more solos and impromptu jamming, displaying the fact they really can play.
When Jeff joined the band on stage, he threw them several curveballs in the form of last minute changes to the setlist and general playing around on stage (in his own inimitable style) and they coped admirably. In addition to his solo and Talisman material, and the inevitable Crazy, Jeff included a Purple Rain/Faithfully medley tonight, as a special Mother’s Day treat. He also dragged old pal Tony Marshall out of the audience and onto the stage at one point to show off his vocal talents, which must have confused the boys from Brazil. Even us Brits have trouble understanding Tony's Mancunian accent.
Jeff’s time on stage may be relatively short on this tour (only seven or eight songs per night) but he puts so much effort into those and always leaves the stage dripping with sweat. I don’t think anybody went home at the end of the night feeling disappointed.
Next stop, Wednesday in Sheffield. Unfortunately I can’t make that but for anybody up North looking for a good night out, get along to the gig. Jeff and Tempestt deserve a lot more support than they’re currently getting.

| I think so - certainly T-shirts etc. Also, Jeff should have some of his t-shirts available by the time he gets to Europe (if they don't all sell out in Sheffield of course).

| Hi all! The show in Sheffield was great, I was really impressed with Tempestt, and of course Jeff was brilliant. The sound wasn't too great, I had trouble hearing Jeff above the band even with ear plugs in which are supposed to turn the volume down on everything. It might just be where I was standing (right at the front), but it was hard to hear him at some points. Got to chat with Jeff afterwards too, about Firefest and things, he's such a nice guy (although we know that anyway!). Thank you Jeff, if you're reading this, for taking the time out to talk to me and Nick I have got some photos, although not many, I just haven't had the chance to sort through them yet. I'll put them on asap | |
