This Royal Albert hall gig was to be the first time I'd seen Diana live so I was really excited. I was however just so horribly disappointed with the set list! I think out of the 2h15m she played, I recognised 4 or 5 songs. There was very little swing, mainly (it seemed like) repetitive 20's music with a heavy drum and distoted guitar. Not at all what I was expecting as I have listed obsessively to Live in Paris and several other of her albums and I was hoping for something of the same. At times, I was just a little bored and the last song, while it was absolutely beautifully played and sang, was a complete downer. Not the way I'd like to leave a concert, I want to feel uplifted, not like I want to take a nap.
Her voice is absolutely magnificent, that is never in doubt and her band were supberb. I loved her interaction with the crowd (rambling at times!) and I would see her again. Maybe I'll be lucky a second time...
