It wasn't unexpected to get the news that John Weller had passed away , it was a beautiful sunny morning in fact , but the news still stung even though the anticipation existed .
I finished work today , a day peppered by texts and calls , I missed the call that mattered but made ammends and spoke to the one person I needed to speak to , I raised a glass at dinner and reminisced with my beautiful partner of days of travel and nights of glory that followed , and after a little to much wine the drowsiness lifted and the harsh reality that someone very special had passed hit me , I wanted to say that , with my emotions bubbling very much to the surface , I wanted to remember those decades and shows and nights that we all spent together , indestructible , laughing and making the music of our dreams , wide eyed vagabonds not quite believing .
I remember the day on arriving back from Sydney, John telling me it was all over and he had enough of "this lark" , that was 24 odd years …

Worth noting that Weller deviated slightly from the set list. He played From The Floorboards Up before That's Entertainment and had Wilco Johnson (Dr. Feelgood / Blockheads) on stage with him.
ReplyDeleteI was right up the front and Wilco was stood right in front of me - legend! I remember Weller saying after Wilco left stage "thats made my night... now this one will make yours" (or something like that), and then started into That's Entertainment.
