I went into this gig with some high expectations, but BCC met all of them and much more. Each member was at the top of their game. The chemistry was amazing! The energy was so high in the club, people were exhilarated after the show. Do not miss them when they come back (hopefully soon).
The "BEST" show I have seen in New Jersey! Classic Rock is back and hopefully BCC will be back soon!
BCC are a return to that Great powerhouse rock we loved in the late 70's and early 80's. Glenn Hughes claims they are just a Rock and Roll band playing for the Fans, but I say they are much more than that. Glenn's vocals were a huge highlight of the show, Jason Bonham is a Kick Ass drummer, Joe Bonamassa what can I say, he is a Virtuoso and Derrick Sherinian is a true rock Star. his keys rounded out the epic sound and filled any void that might creep in. The material is reminiscent of Deep Purple, Led Zep, Thin Lizzy, The Chile Peppers with a heavy heaping of blues rock from Joe. This was a solid 2 hour show from the opener :Black Country to the closer: a searing rendition of Burn!!!!! They added Bonamassa's barn burner The Ballad of John Henry for good measure. 2 CD's in 16 months? This is a serious band not a rock star project. For all of us hard rock fans with a little road wear, let's hope they stay around for a few more cd's and plenty of live shows. I loved it!!!!!
It has been a long, long time since I've heard a band that had balls . I've had enough of the music from bands the past twenty years crying because there mommy and daddy didn't treat them right or there girlfriend left them . Rock and roll is back with a vengeance. This band is nothing like you have seen before . This is truly the first supergroup since the term was coined , many , many years ago ! Rock and roll has been dead a long time as far as I am concerned . It now has been reborn ! This band stands among the gods of rock , and pays tribute to them in there music .long live rock and roll . Long live black country communion !
This was a very exciting show! I felt like I was back in time seeing some of the greats from my youth. They were on fire and totally in sync. Glenn is without a doubt the voice of rock, Jason is the best hard rock drummer alive, Derek' Hammond underpins it all and sets the atmosphere while Joe burns on hi guitars. Totally fantastic guys.
With an era of supergroups, Black Country Communion is truly one of the best. Wherever BCC is playing, I highly recommend you see them.
This band takes the roots of rock, infuses them with blues, and brings to the stage music that heralds the return of great rock.
It was a great show as the band was very tight an knew the setlist very well. Each member was excellent and brought a lot to each song. Glenn Hughes is a great lead singer who brings emotion to each song. Joe Bonamossa is a fantastic guitarist and he was blazing this evening. He had the perfect blend of blues and rock. Jason Bonham was the driving force on the rhythm section and made the songs seem heavier than on the CD's. Derek Sheridan was a complement to the band and the songs live. He didn't miss a beat. All in All it was a fantastic concert and I wouldn't hesitate to see them again. I just wished they played 2 songs more to make in a 2 hour set. The 105 minute set was making you want more and more.
From the moment the band stepped on stage and started playing I knew it was going to be an amazing concert. It was unbelievable to hear the '70s rock sound that the band drew from, yet the sound was a new and in the present. I am qualified to say so because I was loving and listening to rock in the 70's. So great the way these guys from different generations have come together to create a sound that touches your soul. They are a great group, as well as unbelievable talented individuals. Thank you Glenn and Joe for the song writing and music, thank you all for meshing so well and delivering the best show.
I am so glad I made it to this show, have been living with the BCC's first disc so was glad to hear the new material with no preconceptions! Bought the 2nd disc on the spot! It was great to hear these guys live - hope they release a "bootleg" through the website.
You could not put together a group of more talented musicians! You would think that with this caliber of musicians there would a battle for the spot light but there isn't. Everyone shone in their own way but still completely played as a cohesive band and not 4 soloists. One night was not enough, I can't wait until they come back and I would definitely travel to see them again!!! BEST SHOW EVER!!!
This show was incredible! Would see again again and again!
It is what was advertised. Purely meshed and mashed neo classical rock. If you blended Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and ,modern blues rock, this is what you'd get. A tight band that rocks from start to finish. I will be seeing them again for certain
really love joe bonamassa and thats who we really came to see. glenn hughs screamed the who time and we really didn't care for his singing. the rest of the band was also good. bonamassa carried the show. again the chairs where aweful. went and sat on a couch way in the back. couldn't see the band but the couch was comfy.
From the very beginning, it was clear that BCC came to rock the Casino Ballroom.For the next 2 plus hours, the crowd was rockin to the sounds of this ass kicking, pure rock band. BCC just continued to blow me away. BCC claims to be bringing rock back and they deliver with each song.Glenn Hughes and his hard rock ,high volume voice,amazes you with every note. He brings back some great memories of bands that I loved in the past. It's almost like he's a tour guide that takes you back to the age that rock had balls,soul and all was good. Joe Bonamassa is a guitar god.He continues to amaze and surpass what you have heard before.His playing continues to be kick ass whether he's playing with his solo band or going full metal jacket with BCC. With the additon of Jason Bonham on drums and Derek Sherinian on keyboards BCC is Ready for a trip to Rock greatness. Make plans to see this group before you can't get tickets to their future sold out shows. I'm sold after just one show..
The band came on at 8 pm and started with the song Black Country and took off from there.With a mixture of songs from their first two albums and announceing that this was their 7th show of the tour,BCC were amazing.I've been to over a thousand shows and their's no one more entertaining and enjoyable to watch then Glenn Hughes.His singing, bass playing and the energy he gives off thru his music is phenomenal.Alongside him was Joe"rip fire"Bonamassa on guitar who also sings and on his way to being another guitar god.Waching Joe smile through all those songs and ripping through those solos made you feel real comfortable for tonights show.On drums-Jason BONHAM-the name says it all-absolutely fantastic and Derek Sherinian who came from the band Dream Theater-on keyboards,another supreme musician.The show was very enjoyable and the band played with passion and energy!!!
Wow! Great show it was nice to see joe take a back seat and enjoy himself even more than usally
Saw this concert with Joe Bonamassa playing with Black Country Communion. It was a shame I'd wasted my money on it, as it in no way compared to Joe's concert there at the Casino last November, with his own band. Musically, it was a scream fest that actually hurt your ears and seemed pointless when Glenn Hughes dominated a song. And even when he did not dominate, when the audience was screaming and cheering for JOE'S solos, he jumped to the front, center stage, threw his arms open wide and enjoyed the limelight. I want to be clear that the songs in which Joe's singing was featured, and his playing featured, the place felt alive, rocking, there was a powerful rock groove that the rest of the band just did not inspire, with the exception of the drummer. Hughes' antics were pathetic, and his hair and outfit tacky and stupid looking. I cannot recommend highly enough avoiding ever seeing these guys. Sadly, even as great as Joe B. is, even with his influence, it's a show worth passing on.
Nothing special about this show, I kept waiting for it to get better. They didn't play for very long, shortest show I have ever been to.
They absolutely brought it with a hard rock edge and maniacal blues guitarist who makes sure to let you know that it's more than just riff rock. An excellent show for a fresh new band on the come up. Bonamassa was sharp & sly as always, just melting faces with solos. Bonham was ferociously on point all night, really impressive. Some people are going to complain that Glenn's voice is too high pitched, I'm not one of them. I think certain songs the soundman should've been able to acknowledge he needed to pot him down a bit but didn't. But Glenn is just an ultimate showman, always pumping up the crowd and playing with energy. Sherinian was also better than expected. All around great show with good mix of tracks from both of their LP's. "The Ballad of John Henry" and the Jimmy Page inspired "Save Me" were the highlights of the night.
