 70's Rock - with a smile! Electric Landlady on Fri 12th Oct 07 | |
   If you would like a trip down memory lane and slip back into an era when the only things longer than the guitar solos was the length of the band's hair, then look no further then an evening with Electric Landlady.
Whilst the hair may be a little shorter these days, the enthusiasm that the band have for recreating some of those classic tunes is undiminished. Even from the warm up 'Soundcheck Blues', it was clear we were in the company of some highly competent musicians.
The two guitarists have very contrasting styles of playing, with Ian taking on the main mantle of rock god as he struggled to tame a snarling Gibson SG, and Peter taking the workhouse role of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist. With a solid foundation of bass and drums, the stage was set for an evening of 'rock with a smile'.
The set list covered a wealth of material from a diverse range of artists. We had Neil Young's 'Like a Hurricane', Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in the Wall', Highway to Hell from AC/DC, Purple's 'Smoke on the Water' (with a guitar solo that dear old Ritchie would find very pleasing), Lizzy's 'Don't Believe a Word' an extended version of Fleetwood Mac's 'Go Your Own Way' that had the audience joining the band in a riot of vocal styles and a lengthy dueling guitar solo on a song (whose title unfortunately eludes me) where there was a real danger of both guitarists running out of frets.
Although the whole evening was highly entertaining (with no danger of the band ever taking themselves too seriously), perhaps some of the highlights for me were great covers of Thin Lizzy's 'Are You Ready', Zep's 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Rock 'n' Roll' (which Peter and Ian handled with distinction) and a blistering version of Skynyrd's (what song is it you wanna hear) 'Freebird' which had Ian taking on the solo which the late great Allen Collins would have been proud of. There were points during the classic solo when I was unclear whether smoke filling the pub was due to the speed of Ian's fancy fretwork or the possible influence of a smoke machine that fired off intermittently during the set.
All in all a great night which saw the size of the audience grow as the evening progressed and the band delivering the goods in style.
Despite that somewhat alarming high pitched whistle in my ears as I left the venue, I could still hear just enough to reply when asked .. Are you Ready to Rock?- "Not half!!" | |

| Reply from Electric Landlady: Hi Darrell, high praise indeed, especially when it comes from such a consumate musician as yourself! Tinnitus aside, we're glad you enjoyed the show; it was a great night. Glad to say Sue had her diary open as soon as we'd finished, so we'll be back at the Clarry on 21st Dec. Oh, the 'dueling guitar solo' was from our take on Humble Pie's version of "I Don't Need No Doctor", and my fingers do actually ignite during Freebird! Honest!
Hope to catch one of your gigs soon!
Cheers, Ian | |

| Print 3 flyers per A4 page, with marked cutting guides. Hint: setting your start date to the first of a month, and your end date to the last day of a month, gives a neat heading on your flyer, e.g. setting 1 May 2008 and 31 Aug 2008 as the start and end dates will produce the heading: 'MAY - AUGUST 08'. Try it! You can also set the font size to a decimal value (e.g. 9.3) to make the gigs fit exactly onto the page. | |
