oh dear - bloody awful cover version
Bloody awful guitar tones on the intro and the solo……fake-sounding....like a recording by the famous “session boys” on the 70s Top of the Pops albums..... ..and as for Rhino singing old Rick or Alan classics? – he's just not up to it....breathless on the one hand, and trying to be macho on the other… ...and as per the other thread… getting Rhino to “revive” any classic Rick or Alan vocal is like getting your local painter’s apprentice to restore the Sistine chapel with a tin of white emulsion and a paint roller…….

Rhino sings better than he used to. Still a way to go.
If Francis had gone out with this lot years ago as "Tribute band with Francis Rossi" or similar I think quite a lot of people would think they were doing rather well. Not a patch on the real thing, of course, but not bad.
Their problem would be getting an audience. Same if PLC had gone out. Hardly anyone would spot it was "them". Who has the name, has the audience.

Who has the name, has the audience. But a diminished audience clearly.Its been going that way for years now,I don’t even think you can call this incarnation a heritage act.Maybe when Rick was still there but Joe Public will only recognise Rossi now out of them. Middlesbrough town hall still not even half sold in 2 months time. Cheers

fucking awful! As someone already mentioned, the guitars sound shite... Not sure if it's just the audio but it's sound like Richie is playing the part wrong during the Quiet section after the intro. Drumming isn't up to par, and neither are Rhinos vocals / shouting Will probably be dropped just like Oh Baby was. The current show attendees have never heard of Backwater, as I've seen from plenty of Facebook comments
