Friday August 18th 2006 Auerhahn, Hamburg

Kevin started off with what is fast becoming his usual starting original number 'Aint No Rehearsal' which starts with just guitar then guitar vocals and builds up till the whole band come in with the second verse. Its a laid back song with no obvious guitar solo but some bluesy even country type playing. Next song was a cover of 'I Hear You Knocking' which again has no obvious guitar solo but a twangy bluesy guitar and certainly had the crowd going even at this early stage of the evening. Kevin then played an extended version of his blues number 'Helpless' which started with Kevin playing a slow, bluesy solo without the band before leading into the vocals.

Next up was Kevins blues/swing number 'Saturday Night Blues' which starts off quiet then builds up as the song progresses - you almost hear the brass section :) Then came a near disaster .. around 15 seconds into the main riff of 'So This Is Rock n Roll' in which Kevin plays on his own one of his strings went twang and being the 4th string it through the guitar right out of tune. Being in Germany Kevin had only brought the one electric guitar so he quickly gave his PRS to a member of JDc and picked the accoustic to do the touching song 'Too Much Too Soon'. Kevin soon got his guitar back and went into the up tempo number 'So This Is Rock n Roll' which is another of Kevins own numbers.

Next song was '( I Know ) Its Over' which is one of Kevins own numbers and I know he really likes to play and sing this emotional song.

Kevin ended the set with two back to back rock n roll numbers - Chuck Berrys 'Rock n Roll Music' and 'Sweet Little Rock n Roller' which was a great way to end the night....well almost .... everyone wanted more so Kevin did his own slow blues number 'A Little Bit Sad'.

Finally, Kevin came back later on in the night to join Nigel Self from James Deans Car to play a rendition of Led Zeps 'Rock n Roll'.
