Topic: Philip Sayce

Thought I would start a new topic in advance of his long awaited new album "Fits Me Good" released this Friday. He is also playing the Baked Potato on 31 January and there is still tickets available..

To me he was the highlight of the Med Cruise in August. Let's hope he returns to the UK this year.

Thanks for the heads-up on the new album and Amen to hopefully a UK return; been way too long....

  Peace Machine is my fav
  But really like all his albums. Ruby Electric too. Even his first album is real good.

Re: Philip Sayce

It's between Peace Machine and Innerevolution for me. I don't think he has a "bad" album out there but strangely I find Steamroller the hardest listen.

Should also say, he also does a great performance as part of Melissa Ethridge's band on the Lucky Tour DVD, especially when his guitar strap snaps while he's powering down a riff...

Re: Philip Sayce

My very first download with Apple was Peace Machine.  I was a big fan back then.  I keep hoping he can duplicate the magic of that great album.

Hope so; and that it, and maybe the last couple are in CD format (vinyl at a push). Either way, looking forward to an overdue great night.

Re: Philip Sayce

Statement from Philip on social media; US east Coast gigs affected: -

After a consultation yesterday, I was informed that I am requiring surgery which is scheduled for next week in Los Angeles. With this in mind, I am very disappointed to share that we will need to reschedule our upcoming live dates on the U.S. East Coast over the next two weeks:
August 20 (Rockwood Music Hall, Boston, MA)
August 23 (Chan's, Woonsocket, RI)
August 24 (The Music Room, Yarmouth, MA)
August 26 (Rockwood Music Hall, New York City, NY)
August 27 (The Stanhope House, Stanhope, NJ)
August 31 (Rams Head on Stage, Annapolis, MD)
August 31 (118 North, Wayne, PA)
I want to extend my deepest and most sincere gratitude to everyone who has bought a ticket and made travel plans to attend our upcoming shows over the next two weeks. I look forward to trying to reschedule these dates as soon as possible and apologize for this unexpected inconvenience.
I am grateful for your continued support, you mean the world to me, and we will do this again soon!
Thank you for your understanding,
Philip

Newcastle - Cluny  21-11-23

Hotly anticipated gig last night, over at the Cluny; first time in almost a decade for me catching Philip Sayce with, cherry-on-the-cake, Troy Redfern supporting. Two very different guitar-beasts, though equally intense in their delivery. And talk about a "packed house".... It may not have been quite sold out when they opened the doors, but if anymore came through while Mr Sayce was on stage, they'd have had to relocate to a bigger venue. AND that was a TUESDAY night!!!!

Getting the ball rolling was a solo Troy Redfern; not my first time catching Troy in this format, it's always a treat. He came on and really wrested the first 2 songs out the Resonator (Waiting For Your Love: Get Away) before switching to his 1932 Dobro, for Dark Religion, and don't think it's age saved it from similar treatment, he really made it bark and howl. Quick change again, this time the Silvertone for  NATIVE, before finishing the string-punishing set, back on the Resonator:  Where The Sun Don't Shine; Sweet Carolina; Sanctify. That gave us a well selected run through most of Troy's back-catalogue, to whet the appetites of those who hadn't seen him before.

And then the reason we were all there, the welcome and long-overdue return of Philip Sayce to these shores (and not just the "Geordie" one..). Last time I saw him was at Holmfirth, in a double header with Joanne Shaw Taylor; Joanne and Virgil MacMahon were sat in the balcony with jawbones hanging over the edge. Such was the prowess of Mr Sayce back then, and happy to report this evening, the years haven't diminished them. Nor, has it diminished the volume he plays at, though astutely, he 's brought along his own sound engineer, so while my hearing aids may have overheated (twice!), the sound was crystal clear, even at the section where the guitar volume was dropped - every strike was heard.

So, when you haven't visited for a while, dropped a new album mid-pandemic and have a new one in the wings, what do you play? Well, again, a career spanning set and rounding off with a tribute to the man, the legend that got it all rolling, Jeff Healey.
Set list: - Out of My Mind: Powerful Thing: Bitter Monday: Once: Blues Ain't Nothin' but a Good Woman on Your Mind (Don Covay cover): Standin' Round Crying (Muddy Waters cover) segue into; Aberystwyth: Beautiful: 5:55: Alchemy: Morning Star: Spanish Castle Magic (The Jimi Hendrix Experience cover)
Encore:
As the Years Go Passing By: I'm Going Home.

Outstanding "come-back" show, and aside from the new album (The Wolves Are Calling) due in February, word is there's a lot more to follow in 2024... I know I'm "stoked"...
