I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I try to be careful not to do single concerts where I fly out, do my show, turn around and go home.
If the audience walks out of a concert thinking, What a wonderful experience, then we have done our job.
I love doing concert music.
That is one of the things about going on tour, that I get to work with some really talented people and it allows me to be able to listen to them as well - and just have fun on stage.
A lot of concerts leave you wanting for something good to eat or drink while you're there.
For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn't enable you to do that. It wasn't my style.
Going to a concert is so overwhelming and the energy is amazing.
Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
I'm the kind of guy that if I go to a concert and hear something that knocks me out, I don't want to be left out of that. I'm going to try to get into that, and I'm running back home to practice.
