SLEEPY LABEEF & Runaway Beat - Westerhoven rocks 2010

Sleepy LaBeef, one of the last dinosaurs of Rock 'n' Roll. A great voice, a great performer and still alive, performing and kicking. The man is 75, jumps onto an airliner and flies to Holland for just a weekend (one show). One of the best Rock 'n' Roll festivals in Holland: WESTERHOVEN ROCKS! I played there 5 times with 3 bands (Ducktail, The Rollators and Runaway Beat). The location is great, the organization is perfect and the atmosphere is awesome. They have the top of rock 'n' roll lined up like Matchbox, Crazy Cavan, The Jets and, last but not least, SLEEPY LABEEF. Johan van Meurs, organization, spend 2.5 years to get the man on stage, and he succeeded! It was a great honor to perform with SLEEPY. I picked him up at the hotel, we drove to the venue and spend some time together with his wife and the band. We had a great evening. Didn't receive a setlist, didn't have a decent repetition, so we decided not to prepare at all.
I went on stage and still did not know what songs he would play. SLEEPY: "Get on the stage and Rock 'n' Roll". It's an understatement!

I had the privilege of meeting sleepy when he came to my parents house when I was a young boy. What a gentleman and inspiration, thank you for the opportunity to have met you.

Are they out of time?

Confederate flags! Really?😢

[@JQ127-c4e]

The confederate flag means they're proud of the south not slavery. This idea of it being against black people was a left wing media creation. Sleepy and his band were about the most unracist people I ever met.
