10CC - Clever Clogs - Live

10cc Featuring Graham Gouldman and Friends IN CONCERT - CLEVER CLOGS
Filmed at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London

'I'm not in love', 'Rubber Bullets' and 'Dreadlock Holiday' -- Classic tracks from one of the most interesting and talented bands to ever grace the world of music, are all included in this live collection of songs alongside new tracks and presented on DVD for the very first time.

10cc were formed in 1972 with the line up of Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme. The rulebook was thrown out of the window as their unrivalled songs injected with sharp wit and lyrical dexterity plucked melodies and subject matter from previously undiscovered waters to turn the band both into chart regulars and darlings of the critics. They were one of many bands dubbed at the time as 'the new Beatles' -- but unlike most of the others, 10CC actually came close to the Fab Four in terms of hits and quality. After Godley and Creme left in 1976, Eric and Graham decided to carry on as 10cc and were augmented by, amongst others, guitarist Rick Fenn and drummer Paul Burgess. And the hits kept on coming.

Then after years of lying dormant while they all pursued other ventures Graham Gouldman along with Fenn, Burgess, Mick Wilson and Mike Stevens has taken to the road again as "10cc featuring Graham Gouldman and friends'. This DVD includes two appearances that Kevin Godley made as one of the 'friends' at a gig in Cardiff- when he graced the stage for the first time in almost 30 years and again at the landmark Shepherd's Bush Empire show in London.

The set list on the DVD includes no fewer than 17 hit songs including some written by Graham for other artists including the Yardbird's For Your Love and the Hollies' Bus Stop .The DVD "Clever Clogs" also features original artwork and an interview from the originator of all of 10cc's best known album artwork the legendary designer , and founder of Hipnosis, Storm Thorgerson.

The band which includes Take That and Mica's musical director Mike Stevens and the multi talented Mick Wilson will be playing a series of concerts in support of this release including a showcase at London's Indigo venue on May 1st.

If the old fans have moved on, why do old fans want the old 10CC back? Why can't Graham use the 10CC name? I don't see the problem. Looks like a great band to me, and if the original line up isn't interested in being in 10CC anymore I see no harm in Graham using the name. It's no big deal. It's just a band.

I saw these guys yesterday! Got a smile from Mick ;)

[bertfrantic]

Saw these guys on tour the other day, they were absolutely awsomely good. Great songs, great players, great singing, as good as anybody out there. TBH do I care it's not the same line up as the 70s - no not really, I'm just glad there is such an exceptional group of musicians playing GG and 10cc music for me to go and see.
