LIVE ROCK CRITIC

THIS blog WILL COMMENT ON LIVE ROCK PERFORMANCE. THE FIRST HUNDRED POSTS ; MY HONEST OPINION AS LIVE ROCK CRITIC. I have written lately of my own Live Rock journey and how it did end up wrecked on the rocks again and again. Still it is an incredible improvement to have recovered from virtual paralysis a number of times and be able to write and compose and play instruments and most of all to have been able to dance on stage and perfrorm on Harmonica with LIVE ROCK BANDS.

CHEAP TRICK LIVE ROCK CRITIC 29

I viewed my first Cheap Trick performance recently on HDNET TV. Robin Zander produces great lead vocals and plays credible guitar. Rick Neilsen handles the lead guitar and backup vocals. Tom Peterson is on bass and Dax Neilsen plays the drums. There are two keyboard players Rodger Manning and Magic Christian. Together they combine outstanding vocals good bass and drums and fine guitar to create great song delivery with numbers which are definately distinct and individual.

This is another old band, with highly experienced personal, I reviewed a number of these bands recently and I guess practise makes perfect.

BAD COMPANY LIVE ROCK CRITIC 28

BAD COMPANY AT WEMBLY 2010 LIVE ROCK CRITIC 28

I had the opportunity to view a performance by Bad Company on HDNET TV. Paul Rodgers produces incredible lead vocals.Rodgers plays credible Harmonica guitar and keyboards. In the HDNET performance he's joined my Mick Ralphs, lead guitar, backup vocals and keyboard Simon Kirk plays the drums and sings more backup. Touring members Howard Leesc plays guitar and keyboards and Lynn Sorenson handles the bass.

Throughout the performance ringing power chords and sizzling guitar runs punctuated tunes which were distinct and had their own character. The guitars and organ combine to chime like great bells and howl like the wind. Mick Ralphs plays an incredible silver metalflake Paul Reid Smith guitar.

The performance concluded with the "Bad Company" theme and then a dynamic encore number funky jumpy and once again polished. I found the Bad Company performance interesting and I listened to all of it.
