Oh, this is just too good. Love the energy and soul. Terrific players and her vocals are powerfully perfect. Question: Is Steve doing an impersonation of Animal (Sesame Street) at the end of that solo? Looks like it too me. Great creativity and too funny if that is so.
Turning "Rollin' and Tumblin'" from a blues song into a rockabilly rave-up? Great execution, but poor decision making, I would say. Do "Train Kept A Rollin'" instead. R&T is such a great blues song it seems a travesty to totally ignore that tradition and do it as a Rockabilly song. I love Imelda as a rule, but I don't like this choice.
The guitarist is amazing! I have been watching many of Imelda's videos on YouTube and I am blown away.... that old rockabilly guitar sound is just classic. A little bit of Scotty More and Carl Perkins in that sound!
Such a lovely woman! Such a great rockabilly singer. Great band, great drumming, great guitar playing - though the bassist, I think, needs to put more energy into his playing. He plays well, but needs to be more upfront. Love Imelda May. To my thinking, she may be one of those rarities that come along once in a blue moon.
@Pilchadium I havent seen him for almost 20 yrs when he was just a lad. Excellent bass player with crackin knowledge in music, from jump jive to Rockabilly.
I'm a 59 year old Irishman and only became aware of her fromy my 29 year old daughter playing her. She's the greatest female rock voice I've heard. Better than Lulu, Tina Turner or anyone, Alanis Morrisette.
I hope they are able to do the Brian Setzer Tour this year. I'd love to see her and higham in CALI for xmas. she sings with so much conviction. she freakin means it!
Blows my mind how these UK vocalist's accent totally changes to the US South when they sing the oldies. Great stuff. (Had to laff at the "good NEW music" above: how old does it gotta be? this one's ancient.)
This was just one of those once in a lifetime gigs,evrything about it was unreal,like some fantasic dream event but it happened and we witnessed it.I really want this gig now on dvd,the memory isnt enough,this sort of gig has to be captured on film,for all to see.
Jeff as usual was THE business,outstanding guitar work throughout,OH,by the way Inelda joined him on stage to sng,Lilac Wine, OH MY!!,then later helped out (with Dave Gilmore)Jeff with Hi Ho Silver Linings,the noise of that whole audience singing/shouting was deafening,oh yes I was one of them screaming out the lyrics!.What a night,what a night.
thanks for posting this, i love the covers she does. a great cover of Oh Darling by The Beatles in Glasgow on Sunday.. I'd come on hoping to find her doin the Blues Keep Calling, which was also just awesome in Glasgow, but this is great too.
Thanks for the comments guys! I agree she's definitely one of the best live acts around at the moment! I hope my videos can reach out to those unfortunate not to have heard of her!
Mrs. Imelda, you´ll have the whole respect from the Kellerasseln!
Perfect job done!
