The Illegal Eagles closed their Autumn tour last night in storming style, leaving the Liverpool crowd up on their feet, buzzing and begging for more!
An amazing assembly of musicians. From left to right of stage (no-one should come last in THIS band) Keith Atack, master of slide and keyboard (Long Run, Heartache Tonight", "Desperado", "End of the Innocence"). Christian Phillips, beautiful vocals throughout (End of the Innocence, Love Will Keep Us Alive), no slouch on guitar either. Danny Vaughn melting hearts with Desperado and rocking us home with encore 'Life in the Fast Lane'. Michael Lawrence, vocals soaring into the lighting rig and beyond on "Hole in the World", venomous attack on "Somebody", a fine guitarist too. Founder Phil Aldridge in command with tight, Eaglemeisterly drumming, also providing sensitive, atmospheric keyboard to Keith's crowd-stilling, from-the-heart "I Dreamed There Was No War" and finally Chris Childs, so much happening on stage around his intricate bassline but LISTEN to that man!
Not to mention the breathtaking harmonies! These are my highlights but there was so much more - you had to be there!
