Justin Hayward's 'Spirits…Live – Live At the Buckhead Theatre, Atlanta' coming August 19th

Fans of the pioneering Moody Blues will be excited to see news from Eagle Rock Entertainment about an upcoming live release from singer-songwriter-guitarist Justin Hayward later this summer...

On August 19, 2014, Eagle Rock Entertainment will release Justin Hayward’s Spirits…Live – Live At the Buckhead Theatre, Atlanta on DVD, Blu-ray, CD, and Digital Formats. 

Recorded at The Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta on August 17, 2013, Spirits…Live was captured during Justin Hayward’s tour in support of his recently released solo album Spirits Of The Western Sky – his first since 1996’s The View From The Hill. The legendary Moody Blues guitarist/vocalist, joined by acoustic guitarist Mike Dawes and keyboardists/background vocalists Alan Hewitt and Julie Ragins, presented a set of 15 songs, selected from the new album and some Moodys favorites. New tracks like “One Day, Someday,” “In Your Blue Eyes,” and “The Western Sky,” nestle comfortably between classics such as “Nights In White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon,” and “Question,” encapsulating Hayward’s rich career as a songwriter.

Justin previously stated about the tour: “This tour will be something completely new for me. I'm bringing my 'song writing' guitars from home on the road for the first time. So this tour will have the feel and sound of my music room along with the vibe I was feeling as I wrote the songs.”

In addition to the full concert, the DVD and Blu-ray will also feature a behind-the-scenes featurette, allowing fans “backstage access” with Justin and his band.

For more than 40 years, Hayward has performed and recorded with The Moody Blues, during which the group has sold more than 60 million albums. Penning such timeless tunes as “Nights In White Satin,” “Tuesday Afternoon,” “The Voice,” and “Your Wildest Dreams,” Hayward’s songwriting has been a driving force in the band’s success. He continues to thrill fans worldwide, and recently completed a tour of the US.

Fishfest offers a spirited blend of talent

My review was originally posted on The Orange County Register Web site on Sunday, June 24 and appears in today's print edition of the newspaper. I have also included some photos I took at the June 21, 2014 concert.
Mike Donehey led Tenth Avenue North through a memorable set of inspired rock at Fishfest



Christian music lovers were treated to a full afternoon and evening of spirited performances Saturday, June 21 at Fishfest at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. The annual event, sponsored by radio station the Fish (95.9 FM), offered a characteristic mix of established and up-and-coming artists, while a large entry area featured representatives from charitable organizations, games and activities, merchandise and food booths.
Bart Millard of MercyMe
Headliner MercyMe’s 70-minute set included not only the band’s well-known hits, but a number of songs off the new release Welcome to the New. All were delivered powerfully, with lead singer Bart Millard offering extended spoken introductions to select songs to provide additional details on their creation.
The Muse-style rocker “A New Lease on Life,” the Motown mining “Wishful Thinking” and the New Wave-minded “Welcome to the New” (which segued into Katrina & the Waves’ “Walking on Sunshine”) were among the standouts of new songs played early in the set.
The group’s biggest hit, “I Can Only Imagine,” started as a lovely piano ballad before the song gradually built momentum and power on the way to a powerful finish. Another new song, “Greater,” boasted a modern country feel while “Move” allowed band members to celebrate their faith with an infectious dance groove.
MercyMe closed its fast-moving set with “Shake,” a wonderful song that started with a capella gospel vocals before it quickly sped into an infectious groove that had the capacity crowd moving.
Jeremy Camp’s musical style was not nearly as wide-ranging as that of MercyMe, but the popular singer-songwriter performed his praise-style pop-rock with a sincerity that connected with the audience.
“Shine” and “My God,” the two songs that launched his set, were powerful and uplifting. He aptly closed out his hourlong outing with the stirring “Overcome,” a richly layered song that boasted symphonic power during which he used his powerful baritone to proclaim his faith.
Artists performing earlier in the day, notably Tenth Avenue North, met with similar success. Although the five-member band hails from Florida, its sound and approach comes across a combination of early U2 and Switchfoot. Singer-guitarist Mike Donehey has an infectious personality and ran into the crowd several times, elevating the power of the outfit’s set.
The band’s hour-long show featured crowd favorites like “Strong Enough to Save” and the modern rocker “Love Is Here.” A new song, “No Man Is an Island,” was another standout, with Donehey delivering an almost-spoken intro before its real power emerged, complete with big choruses.
Plumb at Fishfest
Even more sonically adventurous was Plumb (the moniker for singer Tiffany Arbuckle), who made the most of her 30-minute slot with gems like the melodic heavy rockers “Cage” and “Stranded,” as well as the decidedly different electronica song “I Don’t Deserve You,” the latter especially impressive as she pushed her soprano to its upper reaches. She closed with “Need You Now (How Many Times),” in which she sang tenderly in the more quiet verses while again allowing her voice to soar in the electronica-tinged choruses.
Of the other acts I caught, Dara Maclean impressed most with her shining vocals and infectious material, including the poignant rocker “Wanted.” Singer-pianist Jonathan Thulin mined Gavin DeGraw territory on his piano-anchored “Architecture” and on the forceful “Dead Come to Life.”

'Queen: Live at the Rainbow '74' reissue coming on September 9th

How cool is this news Queen fans? Here is the media release that just landed in my inbox...
QUEEN TO RELEASE RARE RECORDING OF LANDMARK CONCERT 
QUEEN: LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74
Previously unreleased first live album surfaces after 40 year wait
Multi-Format Release available September 9, 2014
Queen: Live at the Rainbow '74 is coming this fall.
(LOS ANGELES, CA – June 16, 2014) Sunday March 31st 1974 is a landmark date in the history of rock music. It is now celebrated in the release of a rare recording made at legendary London venue The Rainbow, of a concert by the then up-and-coming band called Queen. Few who turned up for that iconic performance could have predicted they would go on to become arguably the world’s best and most successful rock group, although many more may have suspected it after this stunning show.
Among the unique material contained in this release are over a dozen tracks never previously released on any official Queen live album. The release will come in CD, Vinyl and standard DVD or SD Blu-ray formats available as standard releases as well as special limited edition sets and digital.  Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74 will be released on September 9, 2014.
That concert, being heard live for the first time in the soon to be released Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74, marked the culmination of the band’s countrywide tour, their first as headliners - hot on the heels of a tour supporting Mott the Hoople, late in 1973, on which they were widely regarded as having blown the hit band off the stage. Queen got rave reviews, almost unheard of for a support band, and it was obvious that in future they would be top of the bill.
Just before the March Rainbow gig, Queen performed their new single “Seven Seas of Rhye” on must-see UK TV music show Top of the Pops. The highly coveted slot was a lucky break - they filled in for David Bowie, who was unavailable - and the band made the most of it, delivering a thrilling performance that pushed the song into the Top 10.
Although the group now had a first hit single under its belt, and second album Queen II had just been released to critical acclaim, many felt that playing The Rainbow was overambitious. It was the premier London venue of the time, on a par with L.A.’s Palladium and New York’s Fillmore East. But the band had paid its dues, slugging it out in clubs and college halls for four years, and never doubting their own potential. The band’s confidence was vindicated when the venue quickly sold out the capacity of more than 3,000 seats.
Queen’s performance was spectacular from the second that Freddie Mercury strutted onto the stage in his soon to become trademark white “eagle suit,” specially made for him by top fashion designer Zandra Rhodes. He pranced and posed, capturing the audience in seconds with his extraordinary voice and stage presence, while Brian May provided the counterpoint with his remarkable ground-breaking guitar playing. The powerful “engine room” of drummer Roger Taylor and bass player John Deacon completed a sound unlike anything British audiences had previously heard. 

That electrifying show was recorded by Roy Thomas Baker, co-producer of Queen's first four studio albums, and slated to be the band's third album (and debut live album) - a career defining release like James Brown's Live At The Apollo or The Who's Live At Leeds. Intended to be a recording that captured the magic of a live band firing on all cylinders,Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74 would undoubtedly have been a big success. But Queen’s ferocious creative momentum produced a stack of new songs begging to be recorded and instead of releasing the live album the band went into the studio to record what was to become their breakthrough album, Sheer Heart Attack.  As a result the completed Rainbow live album was shelved and consigned to the archives.

Later in 1974 Queen had their first chart-topping single, “Killer Queen,” which encapsulated their brand of driving rock and clever lyrics. It appeared on Sheer Heart Attack, which was released in the autumn, was a massive hit and remains to this day many fans’ favorite Queen album. To celebrate this success and crown a remarkable year, Queen returned to The Rainbow in November 1974 for two sell-out gigs that were even more spectacular than the one in March.  These concerts included the typically flamboyant performance of “Now I’m Here” with which they had been wowing audiences on the tour. It featured Freddie apparently appearing in a spotlight on opposite sides of the stage almost simultaneously. The concerts received massive acclaim from fans and critics alike, and won over many who had until then doubted the band’s potential.

Now, 40 years on, Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74 has finally been released, providing an invaluable record of emerging superstars demonstrating their talent.
Queen, Hollywood Records and Eagle Rock Entertainment are proud to announce that Queen: Live at the Rainbow ‘74 will be released on September 9th 2014 in a variety of formats all newly mixed and mastered to the highest contemporary standard. These include a standard two CD package, a gate-fold double vinyl (including an updated to current audio standards original live album), and a super deluxe collector’s edition. This comprehensive and fascinating package includes two CDs, a DVD and Blu-ray, a 60 page hardback book containing many rare photographs, and various items of memorabilia such as reproductions of the tickets, show souvenir program and poster, as well as material from the band members’ personal archives. (Full details of the various packages which will be released can be found at the end of this release).  Eagle Rock Entertainment will also be releasing DVD and SD Blu-ray editions in North America.
These recordings capture Queen at that time in all their glory: the dramatic stage presence, the highly original self-penned repertoire of songs, high-energy performances coupled with stunning melodic and harmonic content, and the uncompromising perfectionist approach to every aspect of their performance which is still maintained to this day.
To mark the 40th anniversary of these legendary shows, here, finally, is Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74 - lovingly restored, edited, mixed and digitally mastered.  It is a collection every Queen fan will want to possess.
Queen will be touring North America, Asia and Australia this summer with virtuoso vocalist Adam Lambert. The tour kicks off June 19th at Chicago's United Center. Tour dates and ticket information can be found at queenonline.com.

Some fascinating (and noteworthy) facts about Queen: Live at the Rainbow ’74:
“The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke,” (from Queen II) was inspired by a painting by Richard Dadd (1817-1886) which now hangs in the Tate Gallery, having been donated to the gallery by war poet Siegfried Sassoon. The song is by far the most significant rare track on the Rainbow project. The March 31st show was the last time Queen performed it in concert and this is the only known live recording of the song. 
 “Great King Rat” and “Modern Times Rock'n'Roll” (from the first album), “See What A Fool I've Been” (the non-album B-side of “Seven Seas of Rhye”) and “Flick of the Wrist” (fromSheer Heart Attack), are also included on an official Queen live release for the first time.   
The following 15 songs from March and November Rainbow 1974 concerts have never appeared on any official Queen live album before (this excludes video): “Procession,” “Father to Son,” “Ogre Battle,” “Son and Daughter,” “White Queen,” “Great King Rat,” “The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke,” “Modern Times Rock'n'Roll,” “Liar,” “See What A Fool I've Been,” “Flick of the Wrist,” “In the Lap of the Gods” (not to be confused with “In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited”), “The March of the Black Queen,” “Bring Back that Leroy Brown” and “Stone Cold Crazy.”
