Show was explosive man, had a blast! I enjoyed their record but every track sounded way better live. It was really entertaining watch them go at it for an hour 50 minutes... this was their 12th show since they kicked off the summer tour. They started with Avenida Revolution and ended with Highway Star, also covering the first song Sammy ever wrote with Montrose (he played the solo for that song). Many memorable moments and quotes from Sammy:
"I know what a Shepherd is but Bush has got a lot of meanings" (venue was at Shepherds Bush heh)
"Why does he (Andy Johns, Producer) call me Sam-ster but not call Joe Joe-ster or Chad Chad-ster"
"I love this crazy mother-f***er" (for joe)
"He's not even from this planet" (for joe again
)
"Why is there no Tequila in this country, please make sure you change that before we come back" (and then proceeded to pour himself a glass of Cabo Wabo)
"Tell your friends who couldn't get tickets we're coming back (to London)"
And Chad Smith is no doubt Will Ferrell's twin, not only does he look like him he acts the same. After a few songs he stood on his bass drum, lost balance, almost fell off, busted open his elbow on a cymbal and then continued to play... if you thought that was funny, after the show he kicked his kit off stage and was going to throw one of his tom's into the crowd (aside from the 20+ drumsticks he threw). Sammy stopped him but he then threw the tom up in the air and it landed on Sammy - it looked pretty bad but Sammy was OK. These guys really had fun working together and it shows on stage.
Joe was Joe, doing what he does best... used his white JS1200 for most of the show, then switched to a sunburst double-neck for "Bitten by the wolf" and played his chromeboy for the last few songs. I was lucky to be in the 2nd row, a few feet away from Joe
Again, a crazy but awesome show and I definitely will see them when they return to London.
