The show took place at the Razzle Dazzle, Berlin's best known rockabilly club. Located in the former East, along the last remaining piece of the wall, it has got to be one of the strangest clubs I've ever been to. Visitors - after having accomplished the difficult task of locating thefront door - enter quite a large old industrial hall with a rather long bar, filled with loads of rock'n'roll images and gimmicks like for instance half an airplane stuffed into a corner. How appropriate.

Even though the venue was reported to be layed out for a 1000, the center of it seemed rather nicely filled with only about 80 people, most of them beingquite obviously rockabilly fans. Just before Boz, the stage was taken by local Rockabilly combo "The Legendary Hellcats". They were rather loud yet quite good. Boz came on at about 10.30 pm and started out with "Jeepster", the T.Rex classic that became a hit for the Polecats. He seemed a bit nervous at first but as soon as he started playing he turned into the old professional we know. The set consisted mainly of Rockabilly tunes from the many bands Boz has played with over the years. At some point he was joyned by his mate Andy Ellison, frontman of Marc Bolan's first band "John's Children", who performed the classic "Sara crazy child". As oppose to his other shows he only played one Morrissey song, "Jack the ripper", to round up the picture of what he's done in over twenty years, rather than focusing on that part of his work. The acoustic set lasted about an hour and was very well received by a crowd who is usually out to party.

And their patience was rewarded. After a short break Boz was joyned by drummer Juergen from the Desperado Five and Holly, who as I found out later is rumoured to be one of Germany's best double bass players. The three of them then moved the crowd for another half an hour, a great performance that was especially remarkable since it was largely improvised. People who know Boz from his work with Morrissey often underestimate how much of a legend he is in the Rockabilly scene. He's one of the few names that need no further explanation and I saw a few people that night who seemed totally excited and impressed by the very sight of him. Some were lucky enough to meet their hero after the show, and noone went home dissapointed.
