Chris Spedding in Tourcoing

at Montbeliard

The first solo tour since 1991 was done in France, Belgium and Luxembourg from the end of October to the middle of November.
The musicians backed Spedding were;
Jean-Michel Rinaldi on rythm guitar and tambourine
Francis Campello on bass guitar
Jean-Michel Biger on drums

The publicity for the gigs was not enough and sometimes the schedule was changed suddenly, and these caused lack of audience, even in Paris, and it was a very hard schedule.

The last gig, at Tourcoing, was the only one which Spedding was satisfied with. Yes, their performance was tight, great and excellent. He plays some super guitar solos. Wild Wild Women starts with the old-Stones-type licks, No Other Baby is a new and good song ... And Elliott Murphy appears on the last two(?) songs.
If I were there, I would have been excited ... I love his wild wild rock'n'roll'n'rough playing when he does solo show.
