GUEST,Rebecca Fox Davey Graham: what a waste (310* d) RE: Davey Graham: what a waste 27 Oct 07


I was also at the aforementioned performance the other night. Whilst there WERE occasional flashes of what made (makes?) Davy such a great, innovative guitarist, these were few and far between. He was obviously aware of how badly it was going, and he had clearly completely given up by the time he announced, "and now for my next mistake..."

Of course, this was just one gig. By all accounts Davy's mental state varies considerably, and he may very well still be capable of putting in some notable performances. However, if his 'manager' was aware of how bad a state Davy was in that night, he quite simply should not have been allowed to go out and attempt to perform. It was not fair on Davy and it was certainly not fair on the audience. I suspect most were, like me, willing it to get better for Davy's sake as much for ours - because it was so so sad to witness.

I'm sorry if that seems negative or nasty to some people, but perhaps you had to have been there.

Peace,

Rebecca
