i love this generation of bands bcuz back then when they were performing they actually tried to perform well in front of an audience. now its all about showing off and shit but these guys have kept it real and are a great live band.
Its funny that this band is not filed with the greats, partially because of so much less volume of hits, but their hits are as good as the very very best.
Saw Zombies/Yardbirds tour in June. Colin Blunstones voice is amazing, what a fantansic show, best I've seen in ages. Listen to the Cd Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre, I bought a signed copy at the show, can't stop playing it.
I think this is the line up I saw at Cox's Yard, Stratford-upon-Avon with Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent, last year. They were excellent! Does anybody know if the rest of the band are from the original Zombies?
I think it is great that they have decided to carry on rocking!
Colin and Rod perform with their touring band. Guitar is Keith Airey, Drums is Steve Rodford, Bass is Jim Rodford (Steve's dad). Jim Rodford played with the band Argent (band formed by Rod after the Zombies split up).
In March the 4 surviving original Zombies (Paul Atkinson died 2004) did 3 concerts in London to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Odessey and Oracle. A live 2cd is released this 30 June.
I heard them live this year in Seattle at the Triple Door. I, too, love Colin's vocals. I don't think his voice has diminished, but I think that for some reason he's shouting the high notes which on record, he eased out.
Saw them at Hippiesfest 7/27 in Wallingford. Had 2nd row & center seats and worth every penny. Fell in love with Colin when I was 12 and he is better than ever 40 yrs later...live no less!! Supposed to meet them, but the venue screwed that up. Thanks for the great video!!!
hard to capture the singing on the first line of the recording. That breathy, far away quality comes out in later sections of current performances, but that first line is hard to re-capture. There must have been some fancy mixing and many takes to get it on the record. However, these guys are an inspiration for touring. Its for the love of the music and people I'm sure.
I also saw the Zombies at Hippiefest in Dallas last weekend. The Zombies alone were worth the price of admission. Colin's voice was stronger than ever, Rod was a wild man on the keyboard, the touring band was tight, and they all connected with the audience. An amazing experience.
Saw them last night at Hippiefest in Dallas. Great set! And oh by the way, if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all, or didn't your folks teach you any manners?
I agree with SLOVoyeur, the older you get your vocals do change a lot. I give him a lot of credit. His vocals are good compared to some others out there.
What the heck are some of you guys going on about?!!! I saw them 2 nights ago & Colin's never sung better in his life - the new songs were pretty good too! Respect is due!!!
i agree, his voice clearly sounds better on the studio version, but for she's not there, i like the geezer version a lot better cuz he doesnt sing falsetto like he used to, but just belts it out and it sounds amazing
Marvellous!

I believe the bassist is one of the original band mates.
SLOVoyeur 3 years ago
@SLOVoyeur
The bassist is Jim Rodford. He's Rod's cousin, and was in Argent, then The Kinks.
I saw these guys a few years ago. The guitarist looks the same (he was with Paul McCartney), so the drummer should be Steve Rodford, Jim's son.

He sounds like Ozzy at 0:47, I'm sure The Zombies were a huge influence for him who came up later on with Black Sabbath.

Get your shit together people...it isnt age
gigging all around the freaking world.
If half the singers on the radio today
sounded this good (even on a bad nite
for the zombies) theyed be so lucky.
Not counting all the hit's theyve left
in history. Today's band cant even crap
out 3 hit's even if they wanted to.
