January 4, 2012, 12 years ago
HOUSE OF LORDS vocalist James Christian checks in with the following update :
"I am here in Germany with (wife) Robin (Beck). First show is tonight. Rehearsal was yesterday.I sat with Steve Lukather and Jimi Jamison as we watched IAN GILLAN go through his set. The best way to describe this, is like the students (us) watching the teacher. I grew up listening to DEEP PURPLE and Ian was one of my favorite singers as well. Hearing 'Hush', 'Highway Star' and 'Smoke On The Water' is... pretty awesome from where I was sitting.
Robin came on stage and really tore it up as well. She sounded great. It was amazing to hear these songs with a 40-piece orchestra. Jimi was excellent and Steve, well he is a world class player and can command the stage with just guitar in hand. Very impressive.
Chris Thompson was a surprise for me as well. MANFRED MANN had a few huge hits, 'Blinded By The Light' and 'The Mighty Quinn' - this guy has energy. The whole stage show is really a spectacle, huge HD screens on both side of the stage and a light show that is a show by itself. For those of you in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France, you should SEE THIS SHOW I will be posting photos soon."
As previously reported, SANDALINAS will tour Europe as a supporting act to House Of Lords on the 2012 Big Money Tour.
