ODESSEY AND ORACLE
The four remaining members of The Zombies, Rod Argent, Colin
Blunstone, Chris White and Hugh Grundy, along with Keith Airey taking
the place of Paul Atkinson, finally played "Odessey and
Oracle" live for the very first time - 40 years after it was
originally released! - to three capacity crowds at The Shepherd's Bush
Empire, March 7th, 8th and 9th 2008, and to an ecstatic response.
Amongst the audience were some of the biggest names on the U.K. music
scene.
The concert was introduced by Al Kooper, who was originally
responsible for the album's release in the U.S., and featured Darian
Sahanaja (playing Rod's original Mellotron overdubs) together with
members of Rod and Colin's touring band covering every original
overdubbed part which appeared on the original album. This made for a
fantastically authentic reproduction of the original.
"'You
could hardly credit it had taken 40 years to reach this seminal
moment, which deserves to be ranked beside Brian Wilson's remarkable
comeback for its impeccable
artistry and uplifting power"- The
Scotsman
"As their voices soar in the
middle of "Hung Up On A Dream", it's real
shivers-down-the-spine stuff.......timeless" - The
Independent
"I feel privileged tonight
having witnessed this faultless performance of a classic record"
- Music-News
"Odessey and Oracle sounds
fantastic. Some of it even gains in translation. Live the surging
harmonies of Care Of Cell 44 knock you sideways..........As Time Of
The Season draws to a close, they get a standing ovation. It is the
triumphant reception Odessey And Oracle always deserved, 40 years
after the event." - The
Guardian
