Reprint from DAN # 18/19: Well, finally, we had him back in Europe. Acoustically, just accompanied by Asbury Jukes guitar player Bobeeeeeeiiiiii Bandiera. In the time of MTV and video clips, I think we can say it was a so called "unplugged gig". The show was sold out, maybe 500 fans. The small hall was seated. This gave a very special touch to the gig. So it was very familiar. You could have heard every word from John and Bobby, even if they didn’t spoke through the microphone. They were both in a good mood, did a lot of joking to themselves and to the crowd. The songlist speaks for itself. We’ve heard everything this night: From Southside songs to Little Steven compositions, from Bruce Springsteen to Bobby Bandiera, from Tom Waits to Sam Cooke. When someone from the audience asked the two for playing Madonna’s "Like A Virgin", they unfortunately couldn’t remember the words. This was maybe better anyway. So the show started at 8.15 p.m. with "Coming Back". This was of course the best song to start this show 'cause it's been a long time since we laughed together. Finally, they were back right now. "Coming Back" was followed by "Without Love", "Fade Away" and "(Looking For The) Heart Of Saturday Night". I especially enjoyed listening to the two Springsteen and Waits covers 'cause for me, Southside Johnny's got an excellent voice to sing them! It sounded very emotional and true. Southside's voice sounded like if he actually lived through the songs right when he sung them! I guess this is one of the most important things in Johnny's music, isn't it? I've heard the next song, "Rosa", as also "I Talk To The Night" and "My Dog's Gone Walking" for my very first time. I just wonder if they're gonna make it on the next album. Another highlight was "(We'll Make This) World Stand Still" which was written by Southside and Bobby. The song is actually released on Bobby's debut album "Bandiera". Me, I just love this song (I too love Roy Orbison!). Well, the show went on with a couple of Jukes tunes and some cover versions. After 100 minutes the show was over. This was a great pity! I could have listen to them for at least another 100 minutes! Anyway, it was real fun to see the crazy guys again and laughing together for over one and a half hour. Everything's over sometimes. by Philipp Nyffenegger Here's the complete songlist: Coming Back / Without Love / Fade Away / (Looking For The) Heart Of Saturday Night / Rosa / Talk To Me / I Talk To The Night / All Night Long / My Dog's Gone Walking / (We'll Make This) World Stand Still / Love On The Wrong Side Of Town / The Fever / All The Way Home / I Don't Want To Go Home / It's Been A Long Time / Trapped Again / Let It Be Me / Mustang Sally / Hearts Of Stone / Having A Party.
