We did see Saving Grace in November in Cardiff and this was their first gig since November so unsurpisingly it was a similar experience and just as good as last time. First up was Scott Mathews who plays a good guitar but can't really sing very well.
Saving Grace are excellent musicians and singers. One of the highlights for me is Matt Warley doing his gospelly bit taking the lead vocals and with Robert and Suzie on backing vocals. The two guitarists/any stringed instrument players are superb. The drummer is up to the standard and Suzie does a number of stints on accordion as well as an occasional bass.
Other memorable songs were 'In my time of Dying' an old Blind Willie Nelson number which was done by Led Zep (as were a number of other songs - perhaps explaining the increasing popularity of Saving Grace), 'It Don't Bother Me' (a Bert Jansch song) and some more of their standard tracks such as 'Angel Dance' and 'Gallows Pole'.
Robery Plant's vocie was spot on, perhaps due to this being his first gig for a few months whereas last time in Cardiff a long tour had maybe taken a bit of a toll. Suzie Dyans vocals are always top notch.
An excellent outing.
