Jon Asher 25th Apr 2019		Review I worked as a "humper" cum roadie at these gigs. The good? They were amazing. The bad? Every act I saw for the next 30 odd years after this was relatively a disappointment. I never saw anyone hammer an audience this hard. Merciless grooving ... did the whole show of numbers like "Fantasy", "Saturday Night" and a few popular album tracks ...... came back and finished with an encore, a medley / segue of "Let's Groove", "Boogie Wonderland" and "September". I'm amazed Wembley Arena is still standing. Just a terrifying live act. They used Edwin Shirley's entire fleet of 27 trucks plus a couple of Range Rovers with radio comms between and I think they had to hire in more trucks. Fred White was the first to endorse DW (Drum Workshop) kits and the founder of DW went on tour with Fred White as his kind of personal drum tech. I was seconded to him. It was an unforgettable experience. Fred White is one of those rare drummers who realises drummers shouldn't actually do that much ... but what they do should be right and should groove. Very understated drummer. 10 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
