Tis good to be back................ooh HOW posh.....like the redecorating 
Well we went !!
Saw the Rev Al at Birmingham Symphony Hall in Brum..................lucky enough to get front row seats ;D..................wow he still oozes charisma and the voice is still A1...............covered all his old classics...........some of the new and a bit of da gospel thang..............including Amazing Grace and it was.
He was adored............someone shouted from the back "Rev Al we love you"..........to which he sent back "I loves ya more".........what a smile he lit up the room...............and my daughter and I got a rose each..........lucky we were in the front row
The Audience were a bit slow for the Tops/Temps at Birmingham Indoor arena, lucky again 2nd row..............boring lot......so daughter and I got up and shook our booty, eventually they moved...............
Temps were fabulous and despite Otis being the only original left really pulled it together....harmonies were FAB................Otis had the staying power he rocked that stage and got a standing ovation...............my daughter leapt the rows of seats and managed to get him to sign the prog...............all the classics..HOW could anyone sit down
Tops...........again all the classics.......by this time the audience had moved.............up with us, just behind was the lady who runs their fan clubs over here..........so it all started with 3 of us up and dancing...............thank goodness eventually they went into the aisles and up front.............the New Tops were so much younger...............somehow didn't gel quite as well as the new Temps who were a bit older..........Abdul of course was the Star....again a standing ovation.
Fab..............my daughter who is 23, said they were the BEST concerts she has ever been to..........well I have to agree !!
