STEVE HILLAGE REVIEW

http://jpsmusicblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/cd-review-new-live-albums-from-classic.html


British guitar legend Steve Hillage is dipping back into the vaults for his latest release. On June 23rd, Gonzo Multimedia UK released "Steve Hillage Live At The Rainbow 1977." The concert followed the release of one of Hillage's most successful U.K. albums "Motivation Radio" and showcases Hillage's live appeal during his prime. Steve Hillage was also a founding member of the bands Gong, Khan and most recently System 7. The eleven-song release begins with the four-minute, funky instrumental "Octave Doctors," before getting the crowd going with a cover of The Beatles' "It's All Too Much." He continues with songs from his latest release, before diving back to his solo debut album with "The Salmon Song" and "Solar Musick Suite." He extends "Searching For The Spark" past the fifteen-minute mark, highlighted by Hillage's spacey vocals and outstanding guitar solo before finishing the evening with a cover of Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man." To find out more about this new release, please visit gonzomultimedia.co.uk

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
