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 For full reviews, click on the "Live Reviews" link at the bottom of the page ........... |
