Went to the Hawksley Workman show tonight (early show - I think London is the only place on the current tour that got two shows because of high demand. )  I might do a full review later but I'll just say that Hawksley Workman is awesome in concert and if you've never seen him before, I highly recommend a) his music and b) even more highly, his concerts. 

Now, I'm reading reviews of other shows from this tour on www.papershoes.com and it's a bit of a blow that, from the sounds of it, Regina's show was one of the best with the most unique setlist, most encores (they got three, we got one) and most audience interaction.  This show was great as I said but not quite what I expected.  I thought that because he was playing smaller and more intimate venues, he would do a completely acoustic show, perhaps re-imagining some of his "rockier" songs.  But we still got full electric guitar fury on a few songs in the middle part of the show and it just seemed out of place somehow.  Still, a great show and the finale of "Ice Age" with the lights dimmed sent shivers up my spine. One of my single best concert moments in a long, long time.

If funds allowed, I would definitely travel around following Hawksley on tour (HawkHead?  WorkHead?)  His setlists tend to be fairly similar but he always has unique, random, poetic, rambling, hilarious, quick-witted stories throughout the concert that make it so entertaining.  As someone said, they'd pay just to see Hawksley on stage talking for two hours without any other band members or instruments around.
