Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Trapeze Rocking Strong.......2006-02-11

This release is taken from a rare radio broadcast show of Trapeze near the end of their 1975 tour. The band was promoting their self-titled album from the same year. Many fans of Trapeze tend to overlook or dismiss the quality of the band after the departure of Glenn Hughes for Deep Purple in 1973. However a major factor in defining the Trapeze funk-rock sound was Mel Galley and his signature funky guitar riffs. These are plentiful throughout this concert recording. Mel is trading leads with guitarist Dave Kendrick during this show. Dave Holland and bassist Pete Wright make up the rythmn section. Mel also assumes lead vocals following Glenn's departure. While Mel does not have nearly the vocal range that Glenn had, his pinched and strained vocals have a sort of endearing quality about them. Periodically his voice cracks as he reaches for some high notes. But don't let that detract from the sheer enjoyment of this disc. Trapeze was still a viable, hard-rocking band in the year of 1975. Lengthy jamming ensues on classic tracks like Black Cloud,Jury and Way Back To The Bone. Newer material like Back Street Love and Sunny Side of The Street rock in fine fashion as well. The disc does reveal a bit of hiss from the orginial radio broadcast recording, but the quality is surprisingly good considering the source is over 30 years old !!
