Mark Ronson, Shepherds Bush, 26/10/07
What a night at The Bush. First of I get to go on a date with a lovely girl .....and she pays for the gig! Quality!
Mark Ronson had played the BBC Electric Proms the night before and there views had it down as a major night so expectation was high. Oh what a night we had. Shepherds Bush was absolutely fucking rocking to the Mark Ronsons All Stars. I've not seen everyone dancing, from ground floor and all 3 upper tiers since Faithless.
All the tunes from the album were there plus many others - including a new single from Daniel Merriweather. The night was topped with the extra special guest, Sean Lennon. Sean's a childhood friend of Mark, teaching each other to play the guitar, but they had never sung together on stage. Sean rocked out a Beach Boys classic, Sail on Sailor, before going back of stage - later to reappear for the encore - before the band did a super remix version of Valeria as the final song of the set.
So to the encore. Everyone knew it was going to be Stop Me of course but what other song? Well it was a brilliant brilliant brilliant version of the Stevie Wonder classic We Can Work It Out. Sung by Daniel Merriweather, Tawiah and, of course Sean Lennon. When Sean sung his verses it started to get all a bit emotional cos, of course, the most famous version of this song was sung by his Dad John. Big hugs between Sean and Mark at the end before the stage was filled with a million people and DM belted out Stop Me.
Brilliant night. Loved it. As did every single person in the building. Proper party atmosphere for the first 'proper' headline gig for Mark Ronson. He looked stunned with the way the audience was reacting. Thanks to my hot date for a cracking night out - you might get a second look in if you arrange nights out like that again ;)
I was too busy dancing to take video for once. Check out other peoples comments on Youtube, 'best gig ever' etc. Top top night. Enough said. 10/10

Just checked my e-mail for the invite for this one....it's not there!!!
Looks like this was a successful solo mission behind enemy lines.
Good gig, well done Phil.
Best of luck, Jim
