The Original Steve Gibbons Band - Live In Concert (repost)

The Original Steve Gibbons Band - Live In Concert - 2010

from official site

The Steve Gibbons Band were causing a stir across the UK in the 70's when Pete Townshend discovered and mentored them leading to a recording deal with Polydor and touring the World with The Who for 3 years.

They had a UK Top 10 hit with "Tulane" and recorded 4 albums for Polydor and even Roger Daltrey covered "One of the Boys" for his solo album.

Punk & New Wave changed the record industries way of thinking so the original band split, leading to drummer, Bob Lamb becoming a high profile recording producer, notably for UB40, Duran Duran, Ruby Turner, Stephen Tin Tin Duffy & Ocean Colour Scene.

Bob Wilson went on to be MD of the Ruby Turner Band as well as playing guitar for many top Birmingham bands over the past 20 years.

Dave Carroll is a highly respected classical musician who works for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon. He still plays a mean lead guitar!

Trevor Burton, original member of The Move, has fronted his own Trevor Burton Band since the split and is still busy to this day.

Steve Gibbons continues to play his music live across the UK & Europe after over 4 decades in the business covering more miles than NASA's Space Shuttle Program!

Live In Concert this is an exclusive previously unreleased live recording of their acclaimed reunion tour recorded in front of a 1000+ capacity crowd at the Old Robin Hood Club, Merry Hill in Birmingham England in March 98. 78 minutes of 14 great rockin' tracks, ball breaking rhythm section, exciting, soaring dual lead guitars and Steve's classic story telling vocals.

Steve Gibbons - Short Stories

Steve Gibbons - Short Stories - 1971

Steve Gibbons é um cantor, compositor e guitarrista inglês, na ativa desde o inicio da década de 1960, tendo gravado mais de uma dúzia de álbuns. Como compostor, teve suas músicas gravadas por diversos artistas. È dele a faixa-título para One of The Boys de Roger Daltrey  Ainda jovem montou uma banda chamada "The Doninettes", mais tarde rebatizada de "The Uglys", chegando a gravar  o single "Wake Up My Mind".

Este é seu primeiro disco gravado (antes de formar a Steve Gibbons Band) e nele desfilam o talento de músicos como Albert Lee,  Mike Kellie e Gary Wright  (Spooky Tooth),  Greg Ridley (Humble Pie), Alan White (Yes) e muitos outros.

Esse disco é Rock and Roll puro. Sem frescuras e rebuscamentos. A produção ficou a cargo de Jimmy Miller (Traffic e Spooky Tooth entre outros tantos) e de Gary Wright. Embora os dois tivessem à época ligados ao selo Island, esse disco saiu originalmente pelo selo Wizard (subsidiária da EMI).
