During the past view months and even years it became quite common, that well known musicians take a certain band to tour together in one or the other country. Actually that's not a bad idea. Because it's like - one helps the other, ain't it?! The well known musician doesn't have to employ expensive musicians, and the band on the other hand is glad to have a well known name to front them and help them to become more popular. People like Paul Di'anno, the very first Iron Maiden singer did so in the past, or Graham Bonnet who is currently on the road with the Taz Band, or Jeff Scott Soto, who just toured with brazilian rockers Tempestt over here. In this case here, we got none other then Mr. Eric Martin, who used to sing in the supergroup Mr.Big back then. Right now he got himselves the Twin Dragons, Hardrock Bluesband from..... yeah well - New Hampshire, California and Italy. The group consists of Fabio Cerrone (Ex-Tony Martin Band & Don Roxx (Ex-Tony Martin, Uli John Roth Band) from bella Italia . Mickey Hickey (Ex-Venom, Carcass, Cathedral) and TC Tollinger (Ex-TM Stevens Band, Plasmatics, Joe Lynn Turner) are americans and singer Nathalien Peterson is an american aboriginel who has sung and played on records of Eric Clapton, Howlin Wolf, Savoy Brown and more. .. So you see, those are all musicians with a colourful past tense.
And these senores are here
tonight at the Village Club including the ever youthful Eric Martin, where
his collegue Richie Kotzen played about 3 weeks ago. But compared to the
Kotzen gig, the fans are not that many showing up here today. However I
don't necessarelly think it's up to a lack of popularity or ads, but
partly it's also the real bad weather conditions, which lets people rather
stay at home. Instead of 30 minutes drive from Munich I need almost the
double amount of time because of the pooring rain.
After about 45 minutes Eric
Martin is announced as special guest. And he comes, looks out and wins
with a mice and a guitar... He still has got a terrific voice, but is also
the born entertainer and performer, who likes to joke around, whether it's
the local situation, the band or even himself. He presents us a nice set
consisting of his solo stuff as well as Mr.Big songs‚ most of all of
course: To Be With You’ und 'Daddy,
Brother,Lover,Little Boy'. Of course, that's what the fans wanna hear,
when a former member of Mr.Big comes on.
Die
Show is over….. and
it was good entertainment – but stop..... that's not quite all.... |
