Classic rock said this albums a grower,I'm now on my fifth listen and I have to agree, as opposed to being blown away I feel I've been gently lifted then fired into the stratosphere.

The genre we all know and love has been lovingly and expertly represented. A future classic surely

Not much left to add really, thanks to BCC for a great night. Biggest venue i,ve seen Glenn in,his vocals were even more earth shattering with a bigger production Fave tracks for me were 'song of yesterday','medusa' and 'no quarter'.

The whole band excelled and the vocal interplay from Glenn and Joe was a real treat for me

Absolutely mindblowing through headphones, Tommy B sounds like he's just sauntered in from another planet, plugged in and let rip. Could Mr. shirley kindly do 'teaser' next please.

I agree, Glenn has the chops to succesfully front any band,but he's to good to be a stand in.For me Paul Rodgers is a better vocalist than Freddie Mercury but try telling that to a lifelong Queen fan.

Joe is also a fantastic vocalist, hoping to hear some 'burn/stormbringer' type vocal interaction

Wolfy knows his onions, the mention of Kevin Shirley and the Black Crowes got me thinking, maybe Glenn's goin' down an earthy,bluesy,rock 'n' roll road.

Great gig last night, starting and finishing with my fave Hughes/Thrall tracks,'muscle and blood' as an opener was amazing. Even after being ill recently, Glenn was as sensational as ever. I find the sound so much better at the Robin than at Jb's you can really appreciate the vocal tone.
Only spotted the 'Holy man' mistake by JK. I'm not technical where guitarists are concerned, but I agree JK was otherwise red hot, much better than the M4TD tour. I'm also not technical with drummers either but Steve Stephens.
Only one wish for tonight 'What is a woman's role.'
Steve

Thanks to all for great reviews and vids. Never seen 'Muscle and Blood' live I,m with Wolfy would love to see it in June

Glenn hughes, The black crowes and Ben Harper in any order would be a funky, soulful, rock 'n' roll show.

Thanks for the review, going to the wolverhampton gig tonight. Never seen the Scorpions before, getting excited now, the setlist looks great.

Would love to hear 'what is a womans role' or 'second son'.

Like everyone on this website I,ve seen some incredible performances by a multitude of amazing artists, but if I ever see anything better than Glenn's performance at the Robin on saturday, it will be by Glenn Hughes.
Steve.

For me it would be 'the way it is' that album has it all.

Amazing show at the Robin last night. Is it my imagination or has Glenn's upper register expanded from supernatural to completely unbelievable? This was my seventh Glenn show and some of the vocals were beyond anything i've heard before, does anyone agree or am I just getting carried away?
Crave was a fantastic opener, to my ears the sound was spot on from the word go. All the songs from F.U.N.K were great but 'oil and water' and 'we shall be free' were especially satisfying, really intense renditions.
Great to see J.J back and on scintillating form,Luis was a revelation a new experience seeing Glenn with a duel guitar attack.Hats off to the whole band for a super tight performance This was my first gig since seeing Aerosmith at hyde park last June,so I was ready to be rocked and wasn't dissapointed.
Hope everyone else has enjoyed this tour, Thanks for a great gig.
Steve.

That is good news, I last saw Michael in May 2006 at the Wulfren hall. It was a great gig and Michael was on fire. Missed out on the Tamworth gig(must check out that venue),but am hoping to make the Flowerpot in Derby.

I like Jethro Tulls 'ring out solstice bells' and 'Jack Frost and the hooded crow',very festive.

Thanks for the review Soulmover,the only song you missed from
the setlist was 'Black light, played before or after 'You got soul'.
I agree the sound could have been better,and for a new band
they were very tight.
The setlist always seems to be a bone of contention,we all have
favourite tracks that we want to see performed live,but in reality
no one will ever get their perfect setlist.
Hearing Glenn sing 'Nights in white satin' and 'Whiter shade of pale' was a real thrill for me,because the vocals were completely unadulterated, just like the solo extravaganza in Mistreated.
Few things in life are perfect,but when you live an hour away from an intimate rock club and one of the greatest vocalists that ever lived is playing,it gets pretty close.

Hi Debbi,
have just been listening to 'backstabber', I agree they have a real seventies funky groove. Good musically, but the vocals were
a little weak to my ears.
Thanks for the link, Steve.

Chustler, thanks for the picture and info.
I see what Beese means about the facial expressions.
The Answer did'nt appear at Birmingham,dissapointed to hear
you weren't impressed with their live show Beese.
I've been thinking about seeing them on their tour with Roadstar

Thanks Mikey.
Will look out for those albums.
