Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Notodden Blues Club 29th Nov 2014
Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Notodden Blues Club 29th Nov 2014
The next day I got to Notodden by bus and checked in at the only hotel in town. Went around town and then got myself changed and ready. Walked to the gig and got lost on the way but found someone who could explain the right way to the venue (google-maps-prints were useless). Got there in time and met some fellow fans from France, they stood next to me at the front. This gig was a kind of christmas-party for a company which spend a whole lot of money to get this great band to play in Notodden. The gig started very late and the setlist was changed from two sets to one and also threw some songs of the setlist ("Baby Love", "It´s raining" and "Crying in the Rain"). The concert went very well and Geraint got the crowd to do the Howlin´ on the right track. Had so much fun and danced a lot and afterwards went back to my hotel. It was a great way to end this day full of events.

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Gregers Hamar, 28th Nov 2014
Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Gregers Hamar, 28th Nov 2014
The weekend after Oslo saw me traveling to Hamar, Norway. The flight was late like last weekend but I got to Hamar in the late afternoon. Decided to do some sightseeing the next day it was to dark that day. The hotel was good and the venue wasn´t that far away. Walked the venue and read that this was a sold-out gig! This venue was very small and already fully packed with people. Had the opportunity to talk to Dave South and Stuart and we walked in together. Stayed at the merchandise-table and talked to Spike and some fans and friends of the band. As the band took the stage the people applauded like mad. The band was in such a great mood. The band had a lot of fun and as they began to play the Howlin´ Wolfs-song. The whole band started howlin´! That was totally new to me and a lot of fun!!! Geraint started the Howlin´ over and over again. This evening was fun! Some pics taken from the last row of this venue can be found in the flickr-album above.

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Union Scene Drammen, Norway, 22nd Nov 2014
Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Union Scene Drammen, Norway, 22nd Nov 2014
After the gig in Oslo on the 21st Nov 2014 I had a good time and explored some places of Oslo and then got on the train to Drammen. Got to Drammen in time and walked to my hotel which was next to the venue. Had some time to explore the town and get changed and ready. When I got there the people were slowly moving into the venue and I decidet to get to the front and in front of Frank Mead and Nick Payn to get some other impressions of this gig. The concert started very late but the band had fun and the audience loved every song of the two sets. Talked with some fellow fans and exchanged the latest news. Mary Wilson took the stage and the audience went wild. She had fun and gave a great performance.
After the first half I went to the sound desk. The sound there was so good that it blow me away. Could not stand still for the rest of the gig and danced the whole time.
The pictures of this gig were okay so I put them up on flickr. Just click on the picture above. The set list can be found there too. Special thanks to Patrick for the setlists.

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Konserthus Oslo, 21st Nov 14
Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Konserthus Oslo, 21st Nov 14 (Flickr)
My first time in Oslo, Norway:
I had to rush a bit because my flight landed very late. Had no time to explore this great city the day the concert. Got to the venue the very last minute before the start of the concert and rushed to my seat. Had a front row seat to the side of the stage. The sound was good and the band was in good mood. The audience had fun but seat the whole time through the concert. That was a bit sad but the band did their best to get them up on their feet at the end of the last song of the second set. Family members of the band were among the audience as well as some friends from spain.

A brief review:
The bands' second German gig on this tour. I prefered to stay downstairs in the crowd and loved to take some pictures. Met some of my friends and talked to a lot of people about the latest news with fellow fans. Right after the show, Bill and Mary made their fans happy by signing lots of items from the stage. A little later Bill came out of the backstage-area to sign even more autographs for the patiently waiting fans. The Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings carried on to Scandinavia next day where they performed a string of gigs (see the tour dates for that string of this tour here: Scandinavia Tour Dates/Pictures/Reviews .
Thank you to the fabulous crew! They were so nice to us.

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings played Schiedam and Amsterdam in Nov 2014
Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Theatre aan de Schie in Schiedam, 05th Nov 2014
After one day off for the band they returned to the stage at the Theatre aan de Schie in Schiedam and played an almost sold out show. The sound on the balcony was crisped expecially Beverley´s voice was marvelous. The crowd enjoyed the songs and clapped and sang along. Have a look at another view on the band on stage in Schiedam:

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Melkweg in Amsterdam, 06th Nov 2014
What can you say about the gig at the Melkweg in Amsterdam?? Well, the crowd went mad. It seemed to be a sold out show. The musicians gave their best and the sound was very good. Met with some friends and had a blast. We emjoyed every minute. The 20 minute-break between the two sets was very special, because Ellen ten Damme played some songs and introduced her new record. The "highlight" of her set was the song "Je suis un rockstar". Bill sat on stage while Ellen sang and as she sang this song he stepped up to the microphone to sing some lyrics of this great song with her. The crowd went mad! Have a look at the pictures, that I took at this show (just click under the picture of Beverley to get to the album):

B. Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Uden, Heerlen and Eindhoven 2014
Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Markant Uden 01st Nov 2014
For the first time in a few month we saw the band again. The venue seemed a bit big at first, but the crowd grew a lot before the concert started. The sound was okay, but we stood at the front so we had both (on stage sound system and front of house) sound systems, so we could not hear the singing properly. Among the crowd were several familiar faces, like Adele and Jan, Rolf and Silke and Gudrun. We chatted and although said "Hello" to the crew after a long time and have a little chat with Dave South (crew boss)!
Bill stepped onto the stage and everyone knew that this will be a great night. He introduced the members of the band one by one and although told the crowd that Graham Broad could not make the tour and Henry Spinetti had only two days to rehearse 26 songs. He did a great job, but we although saw that Bev, Terry and Nick had to make the start and the ending of a song visible to Henry. We had a blast and got the setlist at the end. Thanks to Dave South!
Here are some pictures of the gig (just click on the picture to get to the album):

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at Parkstad Limburg Heerlen 02nd Nov 2014
The second gig went even smoother than the first. The sound was alright and better than in Uden. Gudrun and I were in a different hall of this venue and rushed to the wright one at the last minute. The band was already on stage and the crowd got wild and danced and sang along throughout the concert.

Bill Wyman´s Rhythm Kings at the Musiekgebouw Eindhoven, 03rd Nov 2014
This was my second time at this venue. This time they only sold seats and my seat in the 4th row was actually very far away from the stage. Geraint surprised us: instead of telling his funny stories he did an
impromptu version of Cilla Black's "Anyone who had a heart" which left
Bill and the others speechless. The show was not sold out, but the band did their best to entertain the crowd. It seemed like Uden and Eindhoven were to close to each other to be both sold out show. We met with friends and had a blast and stood up for the last few songs and danced at the side.
Have a look at some pictures of the band in action (just click on the picture to get to the album):
