Savoy Brown in Jim Thorpe, PA - Greg

I got a chance to see the band in the cool town of Jim Thorpe PA Saturday night. Another inspired show by this excellent band. I liked the version of 'Time Will Tell' that they did. There was some real interesting soloing by Kim that had a retro feel to it but seemed to be a new slant. I think that ability is what makes these shows so good. They update the classic stuff to mesh with the excellent new stuff they are playing now.The band is heading over to the UK this Spring. I asked Kim if he'd be calling any of his old mates there to join him and he said that it was possible that he would. I asked him to have a camera or at least a tape rolling if he did. Someone get Chris Youlden on the line!
