He kept his pants on
BraveWords reviews the Graham Bonnet Band show at the Landis Theater in Vineland, NJ, on May 10, 2025.
Tonight was the last night of a short US run. In addition to the music, Bonnet proved to be a good storyteller, often with a dose of self-deprecating humor, relating tales about certain songs and/or his time with other bands. Despite complaints about his hearing and eyesight, at 77, he looks to be in good health (his voice is!). The silver hair is combed back, no longer in the customary flattop. Nor is he wearing a suitcoat, but the tie is still there, along with orange canvas sneakers. While he fakes robotic motions, he mainly stays center stage, between two wedge monitors, but plays off paramour/bassist Heavenstone and engages in horseplay with the guitarist.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
Graham is the most laddish singer/frontman in the Purple Family. I love him for it.

Free Willy!
