REVIEW: |
This release
presents Bill Wyman s Rhythm Kings soundcheck and rehearsals for their 1997 Hamburg concert. The line
up featured
Bill Wyman on bass and vocals, Gary
Brooker on keyboards and vocals, Georgie Fame on keyboards and vocals. Terry
Taylor on guitar Peter Frampton on guitar, vocals and bass, Albert Lee on guitar
and vocals, Graham Broad on drums, Beverley Skeete on vocals, Frank Mead on sax,
flute and harmonica, Nick Payn on sax, flute and harmonica, Melanie Redmond and
Keeley Smith on back vocals. Hamburg
was the opening date of Rhythm Kings week long European Tour to promote
Strutting Our Stuff.
Walking On My Own is a new Wyman
composition which may as well have been autobiographical; it seems however that
the person leading the band or at least choosing the songs to rehearse was Gary
Brooker.
On Disc One
there is the complete soundcheck & rehearsals that continue at the
beginning of Disc Two: here the entire recording was
kept, but the different sequences have been separated.
On
the second part of Disc Two there is the
remaining part of the rehearsals and highlights (selection and reconstructed
sequences) that
have been kept: in particular songs
and intros plus some sequences (many of these pieces having been reworked). This
recording is quite neat offering food sounding songs and tests, even if at
times there is some people talking too close to the taper s microphone; the
songs selection is interesting since these songs will be played at the concerts
although they will also play some that have not been rehearsed, or at least not
recorded (I m Mad, Mystery Train, Bad To Be Alone. Tobacco Road, Jitterbug
Boogie, What d I Say and Stagger Lee in the 2nd show). The final
rehearsal tracks is Gary Brooker solo song Peace In The Valley.
