Bachman A Canadian Gem
by bellajet36 on 10/2/11Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonGoing there to see Paul Rogers was the main intent...........Bachman ...Turner indifferent...then to my surprise Bachman Turner blew me away.......with a great band....Turner rockin out on vocals(is he 68?) shaming many half his age....and then Randy Bachman who we all forget is a great guitar player....playing blistering melodic diverse solos....what a treat ....the solos were sometimes quite long but never boring or over the top...he is still a music lover with the enthusism of a teenage boy from the praires......a true Canadian Rocker who gave us so many great songs ..... Paul Rogers who was my main interest was great...he could sing the phonebook and it would be moving.....he plays the show by the book ,bringing out the hits with a very strong band and giving the people what they want. Having seen him before I found this performance somewhat underwhelming due to the sound.......The sound through the second half......not happening! At that level it should always be ON from every aspect.( They should have borrowed Bachman's sound tech.).But Paul and the boys muddled through( a surprisingly short set) to cheers of the fans..................All and all an enjoyable night ....one to recommend mainly for Bachman and the boys....
