The blues rock trio, Radio Moscow are back
with their first ever live album. This was recorded in Los Angeles on two
nights (Dec 10-11, 2015). I was actually in Hollywood not too far away visiting
friends but could not make it. Recorded totally live with no overdubs! This set is heavy on songs for Brain Cycles
and Magical Dirt, with no songs from the debut album and only 1 song from the
Great escape of Leslie Magnafuzz. The sound is nice and raw and the band really
sound powerful. Mr. Griggs is rippin’ it
up and mixed super loud in the mix, nearly drowning out drums at times. Love
the guitar playing on I don’t need Nobody. It is not all full on guitar assault
as they bring it down now and then with tracks like 250 miles and Deep Blue
Sea. Before it Burns features some electric fire as parker just kills it on the
guitar and the backline guys keep it flowing. Awesome guitar on this long 8min
track… I don’t think these guys will ever be regarded like Jimi Hendrix due to
the lack of variety in the songs but damn, they rock like a mother fucker and
Parker plays awesome lead guitar and a nice variety in the way he uses his
guitar effects.. Great stuff guys….
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
