    I think he sounds good for his age. And he can still hit the high notes. Even if it's not perfect, it's still really cool to see them playing again.

    Sounds fantastic! Have no clue what these other people are commenting on. Not many bands can hold up like this. Sounds remarkably close to 45+ years ago. I am stunned that they're this good all these years later.

      In context I’m 36 years old and Colin blunstone was born the same year my retired grandad was born. To still sound the way he and rod argent does shows how greater talents they are. I much prefer this era of music than my own era hands down.

    At first I thought 'wow guys, that's rough as a bear's rse', but considering it's just an impromptu set-up and they must now be in their 70's it's absolutely brilliant! Even more amazing it's in the original key! I can't sing the high parts in songs I used to sing and I often have to go down an octave, but Colin still just breezes it.

    His voice isn't youthful any more but possesses far more timbre which compensates for that loss of youthful quality. Some issues with delivery but that's a respiratory issue, Collin's got to be what - in his 70s? Pretty great performance over all I'd say. He's definitely had some kind of operatic vocal coaching though and it shows! I don't know much about this band though so maybe my comments are irrelevant 🤷

      In this performance the singer and keyboard player are original, the rest are replacements. The original guitarist passed away some years ago, but the original bassist and drummer are still alive. The remaining living members HAVE done tours together recently, but this isn't that lineup.

    Colin is over singing this: he's lost his dynamic breathiness (which was always a huge part of his vocal charm) and replaced it with an annoyingly huge vibrato. Bad tradeoff. We'll always have the recording though...

      Have to respectfully disagree. I think Odessey and Oracle is a perfect album start to finish, including Care of Cell 44. 12 tracks, all hits, no filler. That said, like you, I used to only like a couple of their songs, and recently revisited the Zombies and fell in love with the entirety of Odessey and Oracle. It's weird how certain bands or albums hit differently at a later point in life.
