Board member Dave “retroboy” says:
What an awesome show Paul played in Leeds!
The VIP session was amazing!
The show was an absolute blast… loved the vocal version of Scarified too lol… too many cool moments to mention here as I’m knackered!
Board member ”the alchemist” says:

Board member ”funkin79” says:
The whole thing was amazing! As I said to some people before I saw him at the London International Music Show earlier this year which was PG and his backing cd, so this time to see the band was soooooo good!
I pretty much knew what to expect from the setlists which had been posted here – also some nice little “stories” from Paul like being 7 years old and listening to his parents music collection, taking guitar lessons at 6 then quitting them as thet were “boring”.
The whole band blew me away! Everyone was spot on. I also especially enjoyed the cool drum solo.
Bought a bunch of cd’s at the end (I think there were 2 Racer x CD’s, and the rest PG solo apart from King Of Clubs and Flying Dog… I think). So no United States unfortunately. I was hoping it may have been on sale. Oh well.
So, after most people had cleared I hung around the front area by the stage to see if I could get any “memorabilia” such as setlists, picks etc. I always seem to miss drumsticks and picks when they are thrown into the crowd so this time I was determined to get something! The setlists were given away but a kind bloke was passing picks out to people and I was lucky to have been given one! Hooray! So, thanks again to that guy (no idea who he was though).
Me and my girlfriend decide to then leave and head to the tour bus around the back to see if we could get anything signed – I was hoping to get the ticket or one of the cd’s I bought signed. For a few reasons we had to give in and leave.
Can’t wait to see Paul Gilbert again!
