Farlowe Chris & The Thunderbirds - Bursting Over Bremen Live 1985 - [CD]

No, Chris Farlowe can no longer remember Schauburg in Bremen. But when he heard the recording from the 7 October 1985 concert, the brain of the Thunderbirds was astonished and impressed: I didn't know how good we were! Not only was the 5-piece band in peak form, but so was the singer. Due to its sharp quality the Radio Bremen recording was just as impressing. The Repertoire was a magnificent mix of blues, rock, and rock 'n roll, given how enthusiastic the audience's resonance was. For the first time an entire Thunderbirds show will be released as an impressive double album. Chris Farlowe's Thunderbirds consisted at the time of keyboarder Tim Hinkley, guitarist Mo Witham, bassist Tex Corner, drummer John The Figure Palmer, and saxophonist Martin Winner. Aside from the instrumental Time is Tight by Booker T., the repertoire consists of vocal performances honoring his voice acrobatics. His a capella version of Randy Newman's I Think it's Going to Rain sounds just as impressing as the interpretations of the classic Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City, Watch Your Step or Shakey Ground. After an hour and a half of the Thunderbirds one can only say: The thrill is not gone, Mr. Farlowe! • Double-CD with complete Concert from Bremen/Germany • 6-page DigiPack with booklet and new linernotes
