Vibe for Philo '06 Part 3
-
SOUTHBOUND BAND
The main act turned up on the stage.
In fact I did not know who was who in the backstage but finally I could realize.
Southbound Band consists of 5 members includes a lead singer.
I immediately got familiar with the vocalist Paul.
When I was playing with Jimmy he had been watching us eagerly side by side with Smiley at the stage wing.
I remember one of the guitarists, Robbie, used to be a member of a Lizzy tribute band called THE ELITE. When came to Ireland in 1995 I was going to see their gig but a pity I could not.
That band had inspired me to have willingness to join a band as Lizzy tribute.
It has been arranged that Jimmy would sing 'Boys back in town' with them on the stage.
The show started with a number 'Black rose'. Needless to say but they're skilled and the audience showed a great reaction.
I decided to see their show at the steps beside the stage. I could see not only the band but also the audience. I found Jimmy was banging head in the front row… wondered whether or not he's well because drunk a lot …but believed ok because he's a tough guy.
They made it longer and longer at the ending part of 'Black rose'.
Paul commented 'We give you the highlight set of Live & Dangerous !' Then started 'Jailbreak'. In any case this number is essential. The show went on with 'Emerald', 'Dancing in the moonlight'.
The rhythm session for 'Johnny the fox meets Jimmy the weed' was so cool. I once again admired them as playing this number to be such a cool tune.
I got excited more, for 'Cowboy song' I raised fist and sang and sang, Paul recognized and pointed me. This is The Live Music that I love.
'Boys are back in town' started, Jimmy climbed up to the stage hardly before the start of the vocal part. (Phew…)
Jimmy occasionally changed the main part to 'Girls are back in town'.
This number has a special excitement and I really thought to be happy to have met this song.
Everyone was enjoying all over the venue.
When about to take a stage photo of Jimmy and the band I thought
'Philip wrote great songs which make us enjoy forever…' I held the camera but at that moment I found something unusual was happening to me.
