Enuff Z Nuff - Wednesday 13 May 2015, Camden Underworld, London

Since I started this blog, Enuff Z Nuff have the honour of the most reviewed band. This is the fourth time now, twice with original singer Donnie Vie and now a second time with Johnny Monaco. It was less than 18 months since they played here so I was surprised to see them come back to the UK so soon. Maybe because of this, the Underworld was less than half full, which was a shame. I'm not sure what the attendance is like at other venues but I guess the tour is still financial viable (£20 for a T-shirt!) for Chip & co to keep on returning to the UK.To be honest I was expecting the set list to be virtually similar to previous tours. However I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was totally revamped. Of course we still get the staple songs, "Fly High", "New Thing" and "Baby Loves You" but now we have some new and old additions to the set. Although they have a new covers album out 'Covered In Gold', sadly they didn't play anything from it. They did however play "Jet" by Wings which was a good choice. A good mixture of songs were taken from their debut, 'Strength', and 'Animals with Intelligence'.It was good to see a welcome return to 'Indian Angel' I still find it odd that we get a guitar solo from Monoco. I know what a good guitar player he is, however I much rather have an extra song (i.e. 'We're Alright'). Aside from that, an enjoyable concert. I will never get enough of Z Nuff.

Rating: 8/10
