Hundred Seventy Split at "Kulturwerkstatt", Melle-Buer
October 11, 2014
20:30
– 22:45
A
long concert with an intensive short review.
It
was an unusually long concert, although the time regrettably flew by.
The
band was eager to hit the stage and welcome their audience aboard. The
audience was made up of the band’s most loyal fans. This included the
usual suspects, Peter and Theo from Holland, Brigitte and myself –
another loyal fan who travelled from Hamburg in order to make this
concert, which was a three hour drive for him. Some were locals that
we’ve met before at different concerts, such as Robin Trower, Savoy Brown
with Kim Simmons and the one and only Peter Green. Others there were our
guest Wolfgang and Sonja, both long time music fans and supporters for
many years. The audience was well aware of the ground breaking Hundred
Seventy Split from their appearance at The Blues Garage in Hannover, in
March of this year. Credit to the German people for staying in touch, and
following band and personal changes as they occur.
Tonight is a special event as the band took some time off this summer and
are now back on the road. We were informed that HSS has big plans for
2015, including two tours of Europe, one in the Spring and the other in
the Autumn – in between a visit to the States to perform for the fans
there. I’m able to tell you, that the band is very anxious to get next
years gig going and be on the road as soon as possible. The fact is, the
transition from Ten Years After to HSS for Leo Lyons and Joe Gooch was an
easy one. The band was already together, recording and doing live gigs,
without any doubt the HSS train was rolling right along and here they are
playing for all of us tonight. Damon Sawyer on drums, Leo Lyons on bass
and Joe Gooch guitar / vocals make this three piece band to be reckoned
with…TYA has progressed into the future. They play some old TYA
favourites such as 50,000 Miles Beneath My Brain and Love Like A Man and
a short medley that includes I’m Going Home with some 50’s classic rock
riffs for added texture.
