CONCERT REVIEW - King of Funk


JAMIROQUAI
RIVERSTAGE
6 DECEMBER 2005

I was a 'Cosmic Girl' listening to an exceptionally cool(despite the heat) Pommie Funk wizard.

A good night was had by all -great lights and a fantastic band made for a pro' set up under a starry sky on one of the hottest nights of the year.

Too bad it was an'under 18's' gig , must avoid those in future, no one was impressed with the bar set up....just crazy to be stuck in or out of the drinks area just for the sake of a few scrawny kids and a few warm VB's.

Jay Kay was donned in full nylon tracksuit and appropriate headwear(sparkly Sungod)- Who knows how he didn't die of heatstroke under those lights, he was sweating more than Elvis in a white onepiece. However, his show was great and we all did the funky moves to -

  • Use the Force
  • Dynamite
  • Little L
  • Revolution
  • Return of the Space Cowboy
  • Cosmic Girl
  • 7 days in Sunny June
  • Don't give hate a chance(in honour of George W Bush and his band of criminals)

Other Fixers in the crowd were- Ellie and Andrew, Mel G, Rachael and a late spotting of Kimbo.

Congrats to Ellie who won the top Vodaphone prize of the night(including plenty of signed Jay Kay Goodies)....nice one.
