It doesn’t matter if I’m starting to die out…because there’s one band that can energize me…THE TEA PARTY! REUNITED!
Very exciting to see them live again and I’m hoping they will stick around for some time. Huge Tea Party fan, I am.
They nailed it out of the park. It was a shorter set than I was expecting (where was The River?!) but I can’t say I was disappointed to hear all my favourites played once again. The band were in top shape…I love their new slogan…Moroccan Roll!
I had a good laugh at Jeff Martin’s mention of how pretentious they were years ago with their Sister Awake song and how they would extend it to 30 minutes. Also had a good laugh when they came back out for the encore and mentioned that Tim Robbins (at the other stage) had requested that they turn it down a little!
