For those of us who are at a "certain age" and have happy memories of strutting our stuff as teenagers in discos of the early and mid 1970's.
Anticipation was very high given the opportunity to see one of the great icons of "down and dirty" rock n roll namely Ms Suzi Quatro.
Tinged with slight concern that after the passing of some thirty odd years which have left us all with a little less hair and considerably less energy I was overjoyed at the start of the concert to discover that the years have been extremely kind to Suzi Q in looks and that she is still just as raunchy and sexy at 57 in her black leather.
What followed musically for the next two hours was equally pleasing as Suzi delighted a packed marquee with firstly a good selection from her new album entitled "Back to the drive" followed by all of her classic early tracks. Vocally Suzi has lost very little of her talent and hearing songs like "can the can" and "Devilgate Drive" showed she can still pretty much belt them out as she did in her heyday.
Most impressively her ability to still cavort around the stage with equal energy and agility as she did thirty years ago would put many current young artists to shame.
Over all this was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, an excellent concert containing just the right mix of real gritty nostalgia coupled with a showcase of her still considerable talent in writing and performing superbly crafted new material.
If you get the chance to see Suzi in concert - make the effort for it will surely be well worth it.
