    Colin's voice is still gorgeous, can still hit the highest notes strong and clear. Amazing group, phenomenal sound.

    Some bands just can't bring it the way they used to once they get to this kind of age. The Zombies are *not* one of those bands. What a great performance!

    How many groups, current or not, could sound incredible in a bicycle shop? Pure naked art without net. The Zombies are more alive than ever and still kicking and rocking better than ever!!!

    After some 40-50 years of absence from the public, The Zombies sound better than ever! Nice selection of bicycles by the way, KEXP.

      Saw them about 4 years ago. Colin Blunstones voice is just as good as it was in the sixties!

    At first I thought "why are the Zombies playing in a bike shop, surely that's beneath them?" But it's beautifully filmed and somehow really fitting and cool! In fact, their surroundings seem more suitable than a typical venue. The band is pretty tight and I think that Rod Argent has always been underrated as a keyboard player.
    Colin Blunstone's voice has lost a lot of it's gentleness and "breathiness", which was its most appealing quality. He now focuses more on power and obviously those nuances have gone. But voices will inevitably change over the years. His voice at half mast is better than most people's at 100%.

  • @tedplaysguitar
    @tedplaysguitar 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    White replaced the Zombies' initial bassist, Paul Arnold... Jim Rodford was a founding member of Argent... hence why he filled in for White... The Zombies current line up: Vocals - Colin Blunstone, Keyboards/ Vocals - Rod Argent, Bass guitar - Jim Rodford, Guitar - Tom Toomey, Drums - Steve Rodford... I'll be seeing them November 10th 2015 at the Forum in London. Not sure why White and Grundy are not playing with them at the moment but I have my suspicions... the original guitarist Paul Atkinson died in 2004. Tom Toomey is in Colin Blunstone Solo band (18 years)... hence his inclusion.

    • @toomuchinformation
      @toomuchinformation 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      "I have my suspicions" Can you say what they are? I always thought it was because that Hugh Grundy left the music business altogether and that Chris White no longer wanted to play live.

    Just saw them at Milwaukee Summerfest on Saturday...They also do "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" (Colin's hit with Dave Stewart) and "Old and Wise" (Colin's classic with Alan Parsons Project)...they even played "Summertime" (the first song they ever recorded!) as an encore! Not to be missed!

    Having seen them in 2014 and 2015 it sounds like Colin's voice was off the day of this production. Both performances were delightful and rank high in our lifetime bests. The Odyssey & Oracle tour was mesmerizing.

    OK... 1973 Melody Maker Awards Concert. Kennington Oval Cricket Ground. Argent came on late morning and were great.
    I did not know at the time the Zombies Argent connection. ELP played in the evening and killed it. Wishbone Ash rounded
    the bill out. Oh by the way Genesis, with Peter Gabriel, Focus and Blind Faith filled out the day time slots in between. All in
    all fairly memorable... 46 years on... what a blessed music life we’ve all lived eh.

    The Zombies have people in the audience that are young enough to be my kids which tells me that the youngsters would rather hear real talented singers instead of the fake ones the media talks about constantly today. If they are ever in town I will be happy to pay to see them sing.

    jaysus, Rod! That solo in HYU ! I got a chance to hang w/them a bit at 1st Av. on their first reunited tour. Probably 7 years ago or more. It might have been because I was with a particularly good looking woman or the fact that I brought the back of my Leslie speaker cab with me for an autograph. It DID bring a huge smile to Rod's face! BTW, they played Pleasure that night. That's in my top 50 songs. And they killed it!
