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."
