Quireboys - Wardour Street - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Quireboys - Live At Rockpalast 2007 & 1990 / 2 Rockpalast shows by British sleaze rock legends The Quireboys from 1990-4-4 and 2007-10-18, incl. An interview of 2007. - The Quireboys started their career in the mid-1980s at London's Marquee Club and quickly built up a steadily growing fan base in London and the surrounding area. It was only when the organizer of the prestigious Reading Festival announced in 1987 that the band would only be allowed to perform if they changed their name that The Queerboys finally became The Quireboys. - Seventeen years later, on October 18, 2007, The Quireboys accepted WDR's second invitation to perform at Rockpalast as part of the popular Crossroads Festival at the Harmonie in Bonn. Apart from Spike, Guy Griffin was the only musician from the InchA Bit of What You FancyInch line-up still on stage. Jimi Crutchley had taken over the bass from Nigel Mogg. Paul Guerin (guitar), Pip Mailing (drums), and Keith Weir (keyboard) completed the lineup. InchWe are The Quireboys... and this is rock 'n' roll!Inch Spike announced at the beginning of the concert-and by now, it was clear to everyone where the musical journey would take them.

It may have been a few years in the making, but the Quireboys have taken all of their old school rock values and evolved into a new, stunning modern sound. 12 tracks tackling every style, guaranteed to satisfy the fans that have been starved for the last few years.

There was no shortage of historic rock music festivals in 1969, from the unforgettable highs of Woodstock to the crashing lows of Altamont and everything in between. Meanwhile, interest was steadily building on another front. A full-fledged 1950s rock and roll revival was brewing, and the idiom's pioneers were experiencing a renaissance. Suddenly, they were no longer viewed as over-the-hill relics, but still-vital sources of real rock and roll. Combining the two contrasting demographics at one event was a rare sight to behold, but the Toronto Rock 'n' Roll Revival 1969, held that September 13 at the University of Toronto's Varsity Stadium, represented that unlikely hybrid. That afternoon the Father of Rock & Roll returned to lead the apostles of rock into the next decade. After decades of inferior releases, for the first time, this historical concert is presented in it's entirety. HAIL HAIL ROCK & ROLL!
