Dan Reed 20 years on

On Monday I went to a small club in Glasgow to see Dan Reed.  This was the first time in about 20 years, as the last time I'd seen him was the last time he played in Glasgow with the Dan Reed Network. 
It was a great show.  Although there was a full - and extremely talented - band with him, there was still an acoutsticy feel to the proceedings.  This was a good thing.  The older DRN songs sound great stripped back like this, especially I'm So Sorry, which while a great song in the original form, is now an extremely poigniant song about a tragic suicide.

This was a really good, gig in an intimate setting.  If you get the chance to check him out, then I really recommend you do.  An extrememly talented guy with a superb backing band.
