The Rhythm Kings played more than perfect, so it was more than pleasure to listen. It was clear sound to listen and watch them them playing, even on instruments as jew's-harp. Bill Wyman invited the audience to dance, even he didn't dance himself.

Later during the show ("Tell You A Secret") the "Rhythm Kings" invited about 10 people to dance on stage. By the way, one of the "secrets", they told us during this song is, to visit: www.billwyman.com or to buy the DVD "Let The Good Times Roll", which is definitely a good idea, as it offers two (2 !) shows plus bonus material on this outstanding band for rather cheap cost!

Contrary to the band, Bill Wyman played together for many years before, the "Rhythm Kings" offered conversation with the audience, eg. Bill Wyman wanted to learn more German language and explained some things in German with the help of the audience.

The audience, by the way, was a relaxed mix of people of all ages. From point of the author, it seemed funny to watch people aged about 70 years until childhood. For example, one man in front row, aged about 65, seemed to have a most fun, as his daughter danced with the band. Anyway the audience was about 400, and this place allowed cool standing, drinking, smoking, dancing at best air, just relaxing.

From point of music Bill Wyman's concert was more than perfect: So it's hard to point out peaks out of a show which is a peak?
"Jitterburg Boogie" still sounds in my head, that is definitely a great Wyman-composition. "Hit The Road Jack" was an unbelieveable conversation between audience and the "Rhythm Kings", "Tell You A Secret" was as well more than conversation, as well as all other songs...

Don't miss any of the future shows! Just my humble advise...
