This was due to be the final date of their jaunt around Europe, an extra date was added for tonight, 21st in Belgium. Having seen the first 3 shows in Scotland, 3 shows around the London area and now 3 here in Europe, I have seen the set grow and adapt and almost take on a life force of its own. Over the 9 shows in total I have witnessed some 39 different tracks from throughout their 40 year career. I have been a fan for 35 of those 40 years and yes maybe my memory of my early gigs from 1981 onwards are a little blurred but the power of these Ruby dates has been something special. These recordings may not fully convey the atmosphere and chemistry between band and crowd but I hope they serve a happy reminder to those that were lucky enough to attend, make up for those that werent able to attend and hopefully convince many people to go and see them when they next visit a town near you soon. Please search out the official website, check out the lively forum for news of upcoming dates. You will be welcomed by the Familyinblack with open arms.
