The show was opened with a laid back version of “Bed Of Nails”, followed by “Good Rockin’ Daddy”.  The Cornish Arms choir then kicked in for “Come Back Again” and Ross played the “confessional” “Time Destroys (As Well As Heals)”. Ross then recounted a story with the Urban Legends lead guitarist, fellow ex-mondo rock member Eric McCusker before playing “(I Was On) MTV In The 80’s”. Ross invited Eris O’Brian, who wrote “Like A Cross”, to join him onstage to perform it before “Hound Dog”. Ross then spoke about the controversy surrounding the Bill Ward and the Dominoes original, “Baby Let Me Bang Your Box”.  The next song was “I Come In Peace” and Ross co-wrote it with Rick Brewer. After “Cool World”, Ross wound up the first set with a fantastic semi-acoustic version of “Hi Honey Ho”.

Ross opened the second set by talking about getting older and introduced “Strange As It May Seem” by dedicating it to everyone in the audience. This was followed by another new song, “Here On God’s Island” and then the moving “Same Moon” in which I noticed some members of the audience so moved they were in tears. After “Old Country Road”, Ross spoke about working with Hey Gringo and that they bring out the self loathing in him, before posing the question, “I know, I’m pathetic, aren’t I?” but the crowd strongly disagreed with that statement. It was then time for a few Daddy Cool songs and “Hey Sinorita” had the audience clapping along, as did “Daddy Cool”. Ross then introduced lead guitarist, Eric McCusker and played Mondo Rock hits, “State Of The Heart” and “Come Said The Boy”. The crowd erupted for the last song of the set, “Eagle Rock” and were left screaming for more before coming back out for “Summer Of 81” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”. AS I left I heard members of the audience remarking that it was one of the best concerts they’d been to, and I agree with that statement.
