点评:I was finally able to return to Ronkie Scott's since coming here with my girlfriend in 1983. She had student passes so we were only able to get in for the late show starting at 1130. Back in 1983, it was so smoky that it was hard to see through the smoke at times. Today, with no smoking laws, the air was so clean. I am amazed that the smell of smoke does not linger. As for the show, we had the opportunity to see Steve Smith and Vital Information. It was absolutely awesome. He still can play those drums. It was great to hear his jazz takes on some of the old Journey songs. While it has been some 42 years since my first and only visit, it seemed like yesterday since I was still with my college girlfriend, who has now been my wife of 40 years!
翻译:自从1983年和女朋友来过Ronkie Scott's之后,我终于有机会重返这里了。她当时是学生证,所以我们只能进去看11点30分开始的晚场演出。1983年的时候,这里烟雾弥漫,有时透过烟雾很难看清东西。如今,由于禁烟,空气变得如此清新。令我惊讶的是,烟味竟然没有残留。至于演出,我们有幸观看了史蒂夫·史密斯和Vital Information乐队的演出。那真是太棒了。他现在还能打鼓。听到他用爵士乐演绎Journey乐队的一些老歌真是太棒了。虽然距离我第一次也是唯一一次来这里已经过去了42年,但仿佛就在昨天,我还和大学女友在一起,她现在已经是我结婚40年的妻子了!
