I Closed My Eyes,I Took A Drink...


 

The last time I'd seen the Tygers was at a 3500
sold out Hammersmith Odeon way back in
the early 80's.And here we are again at another 
sold out London gig,150 people,how times have changed.
BUT,that did not stop them putting on an amazing show
of quality,top notch songs.
Each song starting off with a great Riff as only
Rob Weir can do and they played us
some newer songs,to show us they are not
just doing the nostalgia trip like a few
bands I could mention...Everyone here tonight
old and young thoroughly enjoyed this
and jeez it was loud!...Enjoy,Ed.

Scratch My Itch...


 

As I have said before I like to get to the
venues early to catch support bands
and after doing my Spotify homework
this band stood out.They play that 80's Sleaze Rock
which really does put a smile
on my face.Played at 100mph with guitar solo's
all over the place.They definitely gained some new
fans over tonight...hopefully one for the future...
Enjoy,Ed.

I Can Almost Taste It...


 Alright it's Christmas Time once again
so here's a KISSmas treat!
From the Animalize Tour.
Bruce Kulick has replaced the unfortunate
no luck Mark St.John.
I saw this Tour but there was some debate as to whether 
it was Kulick or St.John on stage.
(Of course it was Bruce)
This was before the internet,news was kinda slow.
St.John was in the Tourbook so what was going on?
It all calmed down and Bruce stayed a team player
until the reunion came around.
So it's a high energy show from '85
where they played as if it was a race to get to
the end of the song!
AH...good times.

Riding The Air Waves...


 

Now for something a bit different...way back in the 90's
Headswim released a brilliant song
"Tourniquet" which I played to death
and that was it.I heard nothing about them 
until about 6 months ago when some fans
set up a Facebook page that grew so much
the band got back together for a one off performance.
And here it is...Jeez,The Underworld was packed
and you would never of guessed the band had
not played live for nearly 20 years.
A bit more Grunge than I would usually go 
for just watching the reactions from the 
crowd was worth the ticket price alone
(fans even came from the USA)...
Great Night...Enjoy,Ed.

No Regrets And These Cassettes Are Never Running Down...


 

Now like most of us here I am quite open minded
when it comes to music.I am always looking for something 
different with the exception of Grime,Drill & Modern Rap.
I will give anything a listen to hence the inclusion
of LeBrock,SYNTHWAVE is a genre I have always
had a soft spot for.Taking me back to the 80's
theme tunes for all the best Films & TV Series
and when you include some great guitar 
playing I am hooked.
Even without a drummer or keyboard player
(just vocals,guitar & bass).
The sound coming from a fecking computer I can 
forgive within this genre
because the songs are so catchy and it works.
Also the crowd lap it up which adds
to a great atmosphere...AND I was
not the oldest here tonight which made
me feel good...HA!
Enjoy,Ed.

Don't Stand In My Way...


 Eddie's had a busy time this year,gig going.
Here he is again sharing his recordings.
With Us!!


Now Symphonic Metal has never been my thang
aside from Within Temptation
but I do quite like the band Leave's Eyes
who Elina also sings with.
So I thought I would jog along and break my 
symphonic virginity.I was pleasantly surprised,
some really good songs with exceptional vocals.
As you would expect from those classically trained singers.
Not the biggest of crowds but those there seemed to
enjoy...myself?...not sure I will be rushing back
but Hey Ho an OK night was had.
Enjoy,Ed.

Now You're Messin' With A ...


 Here's one I bought from a show when I went to see
Nazareth a few years ago now.
Great band and a fine show.
Unfortunately 3/4 of the classic
line up have now departed.
But the music lives on.
Enjoy.

Might As Well...


 I love the original Van Halen.
I like Van Halen with Sammy Hagar.
To me they just became another good Hard Rock band.
Even though they were successful with Sammy
it didn't really float my boat.
Sure I bought the albums and enjoyed the hits.
But I can't say when I'm looking for something to 
play I don't rush to pull out a Van Hagar record.
(Although I might now that I've listened to this,lol).
So here they are at the Selland Arena,Fresno back in 1992.

With A Rush And A Strummin'...


 

A very good audience recording from Newcastle,
UK,1988.Good setlist and nice to hear
One More For The Rodeo and Electric Phase.
Songs not played live back in the day
with Schenker.Simon Wright is on drums
otherwise the classic 77/78 line-up. 





Will The Power Possess His Mind...


 

Another good audience recording from the
Assault Attack Tour of 1982.
This time from the Hammersmith Odeon.
As with most of the shows on this tour
the band and Schenker are sounding great.
