Dan Reed And Danny Vaughn Snake Oil And Harmony Borderline London 3-3-18

After The Beast From The East relented travel into London was good as Dan said they have driven around the country snow plough attached to the front of the car.

The crowd was smaller than expected maybe weather related but those in attendance were loud and with 2 of rock music's finest vocalist's on top form this for the 3rd time was a wonderful night of stories,laughter and songs and soul's stripped bare for all to see.

For 2 hours and 5 minutes we were treated to a set list made up from fan request's and just what seemed right to play at the time.When you leave you just think wow what they played and not what we didn't get as it is all beautifully put together.

Here is what they played.

Smile (Dan Reed)
Is That All There Is (Danny Vaughn)
Rainbow Child (Dan Reed)
Wings (Danny Vaughn)
On Your Side (Dan Reed)
Letting Go (Danny Vaughn)
Let It Go (Dan Reed)
Reach (Danny Vaughn)
Avalanche (Dan Reed)
Catch My Fall (Danny Vaughn)
Distant Star (Dan Reed)
Heaven Tonight (Danny Vaughn)
The Rush (Dan Reed )(First verse and chorus)
Where The Water Goes (Dan Reed and Danny Vaughn)
The Last Sunset (Danny Vaughn)
Ritual (Dan Reed)
I Will Fight No More Forever (Danny Vaughn)
Losing My Fear (Dan Reed)
Standing Alone (Danny Vaughn)
Tiger In A Dress (Dan Reed)
Love Of My Life (Queen cover)(Danny Vaughn)
Get To You (Dan Reed)

These gigs are life affirming.No ego's just 2 guys playing their songs on acoustic guitar's  with the other watching and listening to the other at work.They join in on backing vocal's when they feel right to do so or add backing guitar or maybe a bit of percussion on whatever is at hand.

It's the song stripped back as they were mainly written and 2 voices in perfect harmony.

Dan Reed played amongst many favourite's Smile and Distant Star from his latest solo release Confessions and a fast paced Avalanche from 2013's Signal Fire and Dan Reed Network fan's were in heaven with Rainbow Child,Ritual,Tiger In A Dress and Get To You all aiding from fan involvement with Tiger getting the full on growling treatment.

Danny Vaughn had Tyketto favourite's Wings,Reach,Catch My Fall,Last Sunset and of course the stunning Standing Alone where the crowd were word perfect.
He had solo track Is That All There Is as opener and went back to his Waysted day's for Heaven Tonight and his one off Burning Kingdom track I Will Fight No More Forever as well as Queen cover Love Of My Life too.

After 3 tour's together they have finally written a song together Where The Water Goes and it sees their voices combining wonderfully with the hope that a full album will follow in 2019.

A fantastic evening where you wish you could bottle the atmosphere and open it whenever required to make the world a better place.
