'Helter
Skelter' VIDEO!!! Psychedelia Show,
Royal Court
Theatre
Monday August, 30th 2004
Time now for the BEST band of them all - THE FAB FAUX!!!.
Will & Jack
This should be a magic Psychedelia night starting with 'Flying' and 'It's All Too Much'.
Jack, Frank & Will
The band were really enjoying themselves in front of 'the best audience in the world' - LIVERPOOL!!!
Will & 'Ravi Ollie' Jimmy - 'Within Without You'
This was perhaps 'something no American musicians should try to do'. But with Jimmy's wonderful sitar, the band's performance of George's 'Within Without You' became an incredible masterpiece. Just magic!
The Rhino Horns - 'Yellow Submarine'
Many of tonight's songs got a heavy soul-feeling from the groovy horn section - The Rhino Horns. On 'Yellow Submarine' they entered the centre of the stage so we could easier enjoy their skill and beautiful looks.
Jack, Rich, Frank, Will & Jimmy
Thank you Liverpool!
- See you next year!
An marvellously performed show!!! No other band can play these difficult songs so good! You are unsurpassed! Wonderful to know that you will be back next year!
(As I've
written before, the distance to the stage was much longer this year than last
year. The camera flash is actually much to weak for such a long distance.
Anyway, after heavy processing by the computer, I here present a few photos
- with great hesitation! They are not that good. (When I took the excellent
photos last year I stood just in front of the stage. So I have no chance to top
last year's photos from Royal Court.)
Well, if these Fab Faux photos weren't that good. Just wait till tomorrow and the fabulous Fab Faux photos from The Cavern...
Here's the complete Royal Court Setlist:
