Rock Music : Magnum - "Vigilante" and 'Les Mort Dansants'

Movie recorded at a concert in Pontypridd, South Wales in November 2009.

Magnum are a British Melodic Rock band from Birmingham, England. They have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of vocalist Bob Catley and guitarist/songwriter Tony Clarkin remain today.

"Vigilante" is not just one of my favourite Magnum songs but one of my all time favourite Rock Songs.
It was one of the tracks from the Album of the same name and comes from perhaps their most commercially successful period of their career, i.e. mid 1980's.

"Les Mort Dansant" if from their fifth studio album : 'On a Storyteller's Night', released in 1985 on FM Records. The album is widely considered as Magnum's breakthrough album. This is one of Tony Clarkin's most thoughtful songs, painting a picture of a man about to be executed by a firing squad.

Personal Note - Great Gig in a small venue that allowed me to get right up close to the front. Tony Clarkin is probably one of the least flamboyant lead guitarists I can think of ... but that doesn't matter when you play as well as he does.
