I was there, right behind my husband (drummer 54) and I've spent the last two days trying to describe the experience. As I'm not a writer, I've had very little luck so far. You've really captured much of the essence here...thanks for that! This review is GREAT.

Wish I could have been there! I saw The Bordems in Melbourne around 1993 and had no expections and was blown away in the same manner you were. I don't get into The Bordems their albums so much but live they are something else... a true musical experience. Ditto, great review Yancy. Wish I could have been there!
