**Erykah Badu
Large band.
11 on stage plus Erykah.
Stunning stage presence.
Colourful in every way.
Doors open at 6.30.
Gig started 9.30.
We arrived before 9 pm.
Big build up.
Audience eager.
Lots like me I guess - never seen her live before.
Opening track as her last album
'20 feet tall'.
Voice as sweet as ever.
Cocky swagger full of pose.
All you would expect.
And a great great band including
THUNDERCAT
on bass.
