Your praise is well-deserved, FL. Barbara has never given in to her PD, but has always fought it (with the help and support of Jon). Though it might have affected her technical ability somewhat, her creative ability is unimpaired and she continues to compose and write arrangements. She will also continue to play whenever she can, though it might be mostly in their studio nowadays. However, we still have plenty of her own recorded music to enjoy (check out "Unity Hymn" on the Paraphernalia CD "Everlasting Flame". One of the best soprano saxophone solo you will ever hear). She is one feisty lady, for sure.

Thank you  .But I have to correct something: Farlowe did not sing Eleanor Rigby, they only played it (instrumental), as part of the solos of Lost Angeles. |

She often sat on the stage or held her back and things like that, but still she plays marvellously, and I bow my head before her performance  . |

Well, it very nearly came to that, as Jon was all too aware that Barbara's condition (Parkinson's Disease) would get steadily worse over time. It is thanks to a new drug, with a more effective delivery system, that she is still able to play (though she has to pace herself). Unfortunately, it still looks likely that this could be their last tour (though you should never say never with Jon and the others...they still love playing together)

Well, I thought they'd not regroup after DH-S's passing away, but I'm glad they found somebody inside the historical members(B Thompson had played on Daughter Of Time)....
110 minutes for old geezers, uh??
Much better than the young Stevie Winwood colleagues who only played some 90 minutes.
I hope they come by Brussels (or Belgium) again, coz just the thought of Farlowe singing Eleanore Rigby is awesome to me........
Excellent review, btw

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I may well do that, as time goes on. Meanwhile, there's quite a bit of that on my blogsite:

Oh...and if there are any fans out there that can't get to any of the concerts on this tour and want to buy Jon's biography "Playing the Band" - it can be ordered from this link: www.viking-music.de

Welcome to PA, Colin! Hopefully you'll find this place interesting enough to stay and maybe, why not, tell us interesting things from the classic age of progressive music

Terrific review, Formentera Lady, It gladdened my heart to hear that the guys are still 'cutting it' in live performance! (Just think...four of the six are pensioners!)
Sadly I can't make it to any of the gigs on this tour, but I'm with them in spirit. I hope you enjoy reading Jon's biography...it took about four years to arrive (I spent over two year editing it!) The German fans have always been the most fervent..and loyal. After a break of over 20 years..so many of them were ready and waiting for their 're-birth' in 1993, and have continued with their faithful support on many tours since, though I suspect that there may not be many more chances to see them in concert. Best wishes from Colin Richardson (the band's original manager from 1968 to 1971) aka Londonjazzer |

Last night I dreamt about Eleanor Rigby, just to remind me that I haven't mentioned it in the review above. So I corrected it.

This was the book I bought (and whose first page is already littered with unreadable signatures):

Also, why didn't you say this is a proper tour? This needs to be advertised!
