Amersham Set List for Shakers + Vid 5: "I Saw Her Standing There"

Been remiss in recapping the details of my B-day shindig in Amersham a fortnight ago, including who done wot. I'll begin the beguine with Liverpool's Shakers, who delivered a prime example of the "genius of Lennon and McCartney" with this high energy set, liberally dosed with a serious 1963-64 Liverpudilian accent. (Erm, chalk up further genius, as I count three Larry Williams covers.)

Kudos to good Glaswegian George Geddes for keeping track.

Also, SHE LOVES YOU which preceded its 'B' side I'LL GET YOU.

For completion - LOVE POTION #9 & ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN had to be dropped from our set as The Rapiers had also included them in their
setlist.

TWIST 'N' SHOUT however, was done by both of us, giving The Beatles & Brian Poole versions an outing on the night :-)

[Tony Shaker]

Oh, and THIS BOY too! Both this and BAD BOY were unscheduled and literally added as we were on stage!

Nothing like spontaneity to excite the live action, eh?
