Rock-maailman ehdottomasti parhaisiin laulajiin kuuluva Glenn Hughes (Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Phenomena, Hughes/Thrall, HTP, Iommi...) heittää pian soolokeikan Virgin Oilissa Helsingissä. (Liput 15e, Tiketti, Lippupalvelu, paikan päältä)
Vaikka et vielä tuntisikaan miehen musiikkia ja rock tai funk on lähellä sydäntäsi, niin suosittelen keikkaa lämpimästi. Tulet hyvin todennäköisesti kuulemaan hyviä kappaleita taitavasti soitettuna ja näytteen laulutaidosta, jonka veroista et välttämättä koskaan ole kuullut ja joka luultavasti jättää sinut hämmästelemään!
(edes jotain valmiiksi tuttua kaipaaville tartuntapintaa ehkä tarjoavat pari coveria, Whiter Shade of Pale & Nights in White Satin.)
Tässä muutamia arvosteluja kiertueen toiselta keikalta. Vaikuttaa erittäin lupaavalta, uusi kokoonpano (Glenn voc,bass ; Jeff Kollman gtr ; Mark Mondesir drums ; Anders Olinder keyboards) ilmeisesti alkaa natsata hyvin kokonaisuudeksi ja soittotaito on korkeaa tasoa.

"Just a short review of last night.
Perfect!
In mind of the fact that the band have only been together a few weeks,the performance was fantastic. Glenn's voice and bass playing was,even by his own high standards,superb. Jeff Kollman was not only excellent but he was clearly enjoying every moment. Mark's drumming was perfect for me played with a huge smile all of the way through. The keyboards were a little understated but a very small critisism.the sound was superb and much better than it was last year." [johnnyboyUK]
"I have never seen Glenn in such good form as last night in Northampton, he was really up for it and the band were dynamite! He strutted around the stage like a man posessed, hey hang on it was Halloween!!!! It sounded and looked like a different group of guys from Saturday night, with the band full of energy and far more confident.
I took a mate who had never seen Glenn live before. He has been a working musician for 30 years and said that he has never seen a vocal performance like that in his life!!! Again Mark Mondesir was phenomenal and along with Glenn they form a huge rhythm section. As a huge JJ fan I still want him there, but Jeff Kollman is excellent." [Soulmover05]
"...repeatedly we were saying "this band is on fire." Jeff particularly has started to nail a couple of tracks as his own, most notably Monkey Man, Nights in White Satin and Mistreated where he showcased his own work before hitting those Blackmore chords on the latter.
Mark was a revelation forming a formidable nay shitkickin' rythym with Big Daddy. Wow that bass sound! Oh and da Voice of Rock. What can you say? As Glenn said himself in his intro " Sounding good on record's fine but spread the word guys, you gotta see us live."
You can tell Glenn is happy with his line up revealing during the encores that this was the best solo gig he'd done with band. From a fan's perspective, I cannot remember seeing a band being able to handle some of the changes in mood so eloquently. I am pretty sure that this was the best Glenn gig I'd seen.
One minute demonic riffs and the next funk double time and then.....white space even silence when it was needed. I noticed Mark Mondesir behind the kit freaking to Jeff's solo to Mistreated getting really into it even though he was taking no active part until later in the piece. That's team work. Anyone who still thinks jazz-trained drummers can't rock will have to witness Mark playing Burn!
...I think Anders brings an eccentric foil to the showmanship of Jeff and Glenn on stage. He doesn't have the rock star gait for sure, but he is more intent on laying a platform for the rest of the band to feed off and playing his most active role in many of the more soulful and emotional parts of the performance eg in You Keep on Moving."

Hyvä että joku muukin promoaa laatumusiikin puolesta...
Itse kannan huolta siitä että kuinka kauan tälläiset todelliset taidokkaat puurtajat Suomeen asti kiertueillaan kulkevat.
Kaikki kun eivät halua näitä 50 sentin keikkoja...
Tainnut sijaintimme Venäjän naapurissa koitua pelastukseksi musiikkimielessä.
Juu, kokoonpano on mielenkiintoinen JJ:n keskittyessä sooloprojekteihin ja Rumpalin sekä kosketinsoittajan proge/jazz-vaikutteet antavat luvan odottaa jotain erinlaista.
Glenn Hughesin äänihän jaksaa hämmästyttää joka kerta..
Mikäs on promotessa, kun tuote on kunnossa! ;) Harmillista, että sukupolvensa "vokaalijättiläisistä" nykyään musiikillisesti tuotteliain, kyvykkäin ja laadukkain tuntuu olevan se, jolla promootio on tökkinyt pahiten. Oiskohan aika hommata managerointipuolelle tuoretta verta...
Bändi on ollut alusta lähtien ilmeisesti aika kovissa liekeissä, joten mielenkiinnolla keikkaa odotellaan.
Oletko käynyt Virgin Oilissa keikoilla, millaista äänenlaatua sieltä voi odottaa?
tullut käytyä mutta toivottavasti homma pelaa.
