Liverpool Sound and Vision rating * * * *

Billy Joel perhaps said it best when he observed that, “You could dance and still look tough”, for nothing gets in the way of a community when the music starts, when the three minute jive insists that you join in and take in the mean streets but the tender hearted with the same glorious breath. For the world may seem like a collection of bones being rattled in a tin, the noise loud and frightening but instead it is the sweet serenade of flexed muscles sweating out a tune in which the audience has no choice but to observe and to take part in, the Shake, Stomp And Stumble of unrestricted melody.
