Tony Sheridan did two shows in November 1988, backed by Dr. Phils Jam Jam Band. Also on the bill was Stan Urban. Then he did one show three weeks later. It's uncertain if the 3rd show at Brundershus on December 16th was a solo concert. Setlists unknown.

In the spring of 1984, I had gone in vain to a (cancelled) Sheridan concert in Aarhus (see text about "Tony Sheridan Live at the Tropicana, 1984); however, luckily a new chance came a few years later. In November 1988, Sheridan played at the Down-Town – another place I never went to – and again I arrived in good time to an almost empty room. As the evening passed, it became more crowded since Christmas parties were in season, and fortunately Sheridan appeared that this evening as well. Apart from me, there were not many dedicated Beatles fans present in the room, so Tony Sheridan was quite surprised when I went up to him during the break and asked him to sign my copy of the NOVUS LP. He did – though not with runic writing like his name on the printed cover! I had considered bringing the legendary single "My Bonnie", which had just been reprinted at the time (in 1986), but thought that he was probably tired of being constantly reminded of that record – so it was the NOVUS LP, which was also signed by a certain Phil Barrett. It was Dr. Phil and his band who accompanied Sheridan this evening (Barrett also appears on the LP). Funnily enough, in August, at a town festival in Northern Jutland, I had heard that same band perform as backing for Johnny Paris himself, who was therefore presented as "Johnny & his amplified Hurricanes" on this occasion!

I don't remember in detail what Sheridan and Barrett played that night at Store Torv in Aarhus, but it was – of course – some of the rock'n'roll and R&B classics that had been in Sheridan's repertoire since the Hamburg days, and perhaps Down-Town, which was in the basement, reminded him a little of the Top Ten Club that evening! At that time, there was also occasionally a small turnout: "A bit cabaret-like", as Dirch Passer once put it, when the theatre was half empty. And then, for some reason, Sheridan & Co. played Leonard Cohen's "First We Take Manhattan," which was a brand new song at the time. Had they changed the text to "then we take Stettin"? I'm not quite sure, but Sheridan had changed something – very Lennon-like – in the title.

I'm also sure that they played the 'Beatles classic' "My Bonnie", which of course I had especially come to hear with Sheridan himself. On the other hand, they did not play the fabled "Tell me if you can". Today I think that during the break I should have suggested Sheridan play this number in the second set. But would he have done it?
