763.0. "In Concert '91" by HYEND::C_DENOPOULOS (I have Cronic Lyripsychosis!) Mon Jun 10 1991 10:10

         Anyone watch this Friday night?  It had one song from the Bullet
    Boys, two songs from Slaughter, and four songs from Poison.  Brought
    back memories of the old In Concert and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
    series.  It was a good show, all live, no videos.

    Yes.. I watched its. I thought it was pretty good-but is it me or
    did Brett's voice seem a little strained???  I loved the fact it
    was in stereo on CGY!

    It was on ABC at midnight until 1am....
    
    I was lucky to get someone to tape it for me... Does anyone know
    who will be highlighted this week????
    
    How come no one mentioned the canceled show last nite at the Centrum???
    I could've used the extra money for that show... 
    I guess Bret has a strained Vocal Cords...

    Bret is a diabetic.  I heard (don't remember from where) that his
    diabetese(sp) has something to do with the concert being postponed.
    
    I never care to listen to George Michael, but you can be sure his
    performance will be entertaining.  He won't be as dull as the Bullet
    Boys were this past Friday.

763.38Ack!GOES11::G_HOUSEand I might be too far downMon Jun 24 1991 15:1824
    See my comments in the Firehouse and Lynch Mob notes for specifics,
    but here's what I thought of the performers:

    Cher:  Inhaled with ferocious velocity, I had to change stations to
           retain my dinner
    Firehouse:  Played well, but their choice of material was a little weak
                IMO.  Probably why someone else said they lacked balls.
    Lynch Mob:  Terrible!  Mix was awful and it just didn't sound live to
                me.  I guess the guys voice was ok, and that's about all
                most people (non-players) hear when the listen to a band
                anyway...
    
    One thing I found *INCREDIBLY* annoying about the program in general
    was that there were *WAY* too many commercials!!!  Like between *every*
    song (except two of LM's that were back to back) there was like 10
    minutes worth of them!  I swear, Cher did about 3 or 4 songs (I donno
    exactly, I couldn't stand to listen to any of them in their entirity),
    Firehouse did 2, and Lynch Mob did 3.  And the rest of the HOUR was
    commercials
    
    All in all, the show stunk.  I was sorry I wasted my time.

    While I wasn't all that thrilled with their CD (thought the older
    Dokken stuff was much better), it shown like the sun compared to their
    lame "performance" on "In Concert"...

763.41I should have watched Letterman...SCOBIE::BHASTYMon Jun 24 1991 17:0416
    All I have to say is that I saw both shows of in concert and have to
    agree that it was one big commercial.The poison show wasn't that bad
    but the sound was terrible!!! I think Mark Slaughter must have blown
    out the sound board with all that whining a sreeching he did!! Somebody
    kill that cat and get it out of its misery!!! I was pretty disappointed
    in the lLynch Mob show also... the singer just didn't have the same
    sound as on the CD...another example of the wonders of studio recording
    maybe???? Plus who was working the sound at that show anyway?!! You
    could hardly hear a damn note that George played, man was I
    bummed!!!Atleast Mick Brown sound good!! Still one of my fav skin
    pounders... 
          As far as fire( get a real job )house went, I'd rather watch
    Cher...

    best.  Have to wait until next Friday probably to see who else will be
    on with Genesis.

    	No good.  He "sucked", not "sucks".  He doesn't do a heck of alot
    	any more, due to his lack of consciousness.
    
    	But, it is correct to say Motorhead "sucks", because they're still
    	conscious [to some extent].

763.541916 is Huge !KETJE::VLASIUThu Jul 25 1991 06:499
I haven't seen Motorhead in concert and I always found their music heavy but
with poor sound recording.
But things have radically changed with their last album "1916" which is a gem
of pure rock and roll played with high energy and speed. It's one of my favorite
albums of this year (and the only Motorhead album I bought ... and kept).
Even the ballads (yeah there are two ballads on it) are a new dimension for
Motorhead and they are very good.

     I watched last weeks show with Judas Priest and Alice Cooper. I can't 
    get over Rob Halford with a Kojak look with Tatoos on his head! Whoa!
    Are those for real or just fake? Also he's sporting tatoos on both arms
    and his back. I was really disappointed they didn't play anything new
    from Painkiller.
     Its nice to see that Alice still had superb special effects on stage!
    Nice touch with the monitors painted up like razor blades. Also love
    the jumping into the film clips and back out again on stage. I first
    saw this during Welcome To My Nightmare tour years ago! Way to go
    Alice, keep up the good work!

763.61HYEND::C_DENOPOULOSYouGotTheRightOneBabyAhaAha!Wed Jul 31 1991 15:1611
    Oh yeah, I was really p***ed because the tv guide said Metal Church was
    going to be on too, along with a few other bands.
    Rob looked kinda weird with the shaved head, and he sang off key once
    in awhile, but hey, it's Priest.
    What can you say about Alice Cooper.  His shows are always great.
    
    As a side note, if you like good guitar playing, watch channel 44
    (I think out of Boston) thursday night at 8:00 for (I hope he plays 
    this) a nice version of Stairway To Heaven.

     See it for sure! Stanley Jordon is an incredible musician. I love it
    when he plays rhythm on one guitar and lead on another. If you get a
    chance to hear him live don't miss it. I heard him play Stairway and
    its definately unique.

    I'm sure lacks the info fron TV Guide. Please keep posting them if
    you could, its great info.

    According to the TV guide, Alice In Chains will be on this Friday.
    I forget who else though.  I think there were 2 HM bands and 2 non-HM
    bands.

    	I think the lineup is Fishbone(!), LL Cool J, Alice in Chains 
    and (?).
    
    	Check out Angelo Moore's (lead singer for Fishbone) "balcony-dive"... 
    truly nuts!

    	Fishbone is one of *the* most intense live bands I've ever seen.
    
    	Have to see if some of that comes through on tv.  They did well
    on Saturday Night Live and ok on Arsenio so.....

    Just in case you look in the TV guide and see that it's only on channel
    9 and 12:00, it starts a 1/2 hour later on channel 5.
