Reviews
Review by Zub Records
Robyn was not wearing a polka dot shirt tonight, and started with ‘I Love The Idea Of You ‘ from Love From London (Commentary Version) straight into the odd/wonderful ‘Trilobite.’ Having just turned seventy, Reg Played ‘Over The Waterfall,’ Emma Swift then joined, looking radiant as always, and the duo did ’The Yip Song,’ bouncy and very fun. For someone’s birthday, Robyn played a fantastic version of ‘Egyptian Cream.’
Saying “I never play this acoustically.” Reg played a chimey version of ‘Acid Bird,'' while Ringo, one of their two Scottish Folds, jumped up next to him. Emma returned and grabbed the mercurial Ringo. The duo did a stellar version of ‘Pale Blue Eyes’ by Lou Reed. The duo had a long conversation about powdered food, Robyn’s dad, and many other things. Exit Emma.
Robyn played the recent ‘Sir Tommy Shovell’ from Shufflemania! Switching to an open G tuning, He played a very pretty ‘San Francisco Patrol’ from The Man Upstairs. Next was a pensive version of ‘Raymond Chandler Evening’ from Element Of Light. Also by request: The Beatles’ ‘I Saw Her Standing There.’ As RH played, Ringo chewed on the plant behind him and Tubby sat on the stool next to him, framing him like cat parentheses.
Emma returned, stylishly sporting a polka dot RH bandana. The duo did Townes Van Zant’s ‘Pancho and Lefty,’ Emma singing solo and absolutely killing it. Her voice is a marvel. The duo launched into The Beatles’ ‘Rain,’ which was fantastic, followed by ‘The Man Who Loves The Rain’ from Shufflemania! A last birthday request was ‘Ole Tarantula,’ Reg ended the show by raga-ing out on an extended instrumental. Another great show covering almost every phase of Reg’s career - from Fegmania! To Shufflemania!, Beatles and Van Zant covers, Emma solo, Lou Reed, and Raga with plenty of Scottish Fold activity!
