Magic Moments -25th Anniversary Special Show (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Axel Rudi Pell songwriter, guitar wizard and likeable German. The Lord, if you count his time at STEELER, already 25 years studio and stage experience to which he can look back. Since Axel pulled course times résumé and a large scale at the last year's Bang Your Head, for which he is invited not only for a long show his band, former members and the complete STEELER occupation, but also an illustrious dance to famous singers.

That the whole thing is then to be additionally detention in picture and sound, was then of course clear. And so to me is now the time being, unfortunately, only the audio version of Magic Moments 25th Anniversary as a 3-CD edition before. Well, of Axel Rudi Pell, there are already numerous live recordings, all of which are managed, but of course the question arises as to whether you need five live DVDs / BRs. In the case of Magic Moments, but I would recommend to any fan slamming, although there are a few things to complain about.

The band starts the Steeler lineup, talk to Peter Burtz, Tom Eder, Roland Hag, Jan Yildiral and classics like Call Her Princess, Night After Night or Undercover Animal. The songs sound rawer than the current work of the Germans, but are already making a lot of fun, rather he Rob Rock (IMPELLITTERI, DRIVER) and Jörg Michael (ex-STRATOVARIUS) brings to the Bühen to abzufeiern Nasty reputation in a big way. For more classics like Warrior and Fool Fool Jeff Scott Soto must, which was active in the '90s with ARP, the mic, before you asked the current lineup on stage.

Clear with Volker Krawczak, Ferdy Doernberg and Johnny Gioeli one has achieved a strong lineup, which was recently completed by Bobby Rondinelli on drums. Just a pity that we could not win for one or the other song Mike Terana (or wanted). Again, the song selection is of course a pleasure. Rock Long Way To Go, Strong as a rock and the medley consisting of the Super epics The Masquerade Ball and Casbah, get under your skin and continue to be a pleasure. But here's a little disappointment I was Johnny already experienced live and as he made several times for goose bumps, but here it sounds somehow not up to snuff and a little hoarse. Nevertheless, the strong-voiced Italians put over backward.

On the third disc then expect us to a Drum Battle with Vinniy Apice (DIO, KILL DEVIL HILL) and Bobby various cover songs by ZZ Top, Deep Purple, RAINBOW or URIAH HEEP, which have also been beefed up again by guest stars. Ronnie Atkins (PRETTY MAIDS), Graham Bonnet (RAINBOW) and John Lawton (URIAH HEEP) are there absolutely no stranger. The grand finale was then celebrated with the entire gang and Smoke On The Water.

AXEL RUDI PELL has created a unique thing with this appearance and again a monument that gives it fortunately for those who missed it, even for the living room. Also the sound and the live atmosphere there is nothing wrong, therefore for fans and who want to be there is Magic Moments is an absolute must buy!
