Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Boogie on.......2006-11-18

Michael Katon's U.K. schedule around the time of this release was based on rave reviews from the then Bible of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal i.e. "Kerrang" Magazine, giving it 5 Stars out of 5. His first appearance at the legendary London Marquee club turned out to be a healthy gathering,and it was this tour that proved to be the only U.K. tour with Harmonica come guitarist player Ed Phelps. It remained my favourite of many Michael Katon gigs due to the fact that Michael obviously was revelling in the Spotlight. That, and the only time I saw him play one of my All-time favourite Katon songs - "Tight White Pants". I asked him on a few occasions if he would play that song again, but he insisted that he needed the Harp playing to do so. Michael has continued on for the last 18 years as a three piece, and the music usually gets heavier and heavier with each release apart from the below par "Rage called Rock n Roll". The other best songs on the track are the full-on Original Boogie Tracks "Boogie is my Business (And business is good)" and the ever popular "Roadhouse 69". A fine version of the Cream song "Cat Squirrel" is also a highlight. The production is not the best on this album, but it was an improvement on his previous independant release "Boogie all over your head". I dont think this recording has ever been released on CD yet. I have also heard word that Michael is not planning on touring the U.K. again due to fading audiences which is a real shame. I saw him once at the Cine Bar in Raynors Lane London during the "Rub" tour, and there couldnt have been more than 20 people there. Back to the first time I saw him at the 1st Marquee gig, I will forever remember his dedication to Keith Richards, a barnstorming version of "Midnight Rambler". It would have been a real treat to have heard this on CD, especially a Live album.
