Little Steven - Glasgow Academy

Well after 25+ years what were we to expect from the man known mainly as an actor these days, and sometime Springsteen sideman.

The answer was an absolutely blistering set full of Miami Steve classics and a concert which made you listen to the Soulfire lp in a whole new light.

From the opening Tom Petty tribute to the closer of one of my favourite tracks of all time this was Little Steven at his best.

As a total aside I have listened to Soulfire again since this concert and it has really grown on me. I think his own version of St Valentines Day is exceptional and would sit alongside anything on The Promise.
