I've been a fan of 10cc since 1975 when I discovered The Original Soundtrack album. I never saw them back in their heyday and this was my opportunity to make that right.
No regrets!! They were awesome and this venue provided for a pretty intimate experience. Graham was in fine voice and Mick Wilson's effortless tenor was simply awesome. Rick Fenn's soaring lead guitar highlighted the instrumental segments, with first rate keyboard support from Mike Stevens. Needless to say, Paul Burgess' drumming was spot on.
They started off with a 40 minute acoustic set that featured tunes Graham had written earlier in his career and were done by other bands, like Bus Stop (Hollies) and For Your Love (Yardbirds).
After a short break they came back with the 10cc set and opened with The Second Sitting Of The Last Supper. They dipped into numerous albums and pulled out just about every favorite of mine, with excellent renditions of all.
