Despite only ║ │ │║ lasting 4 years, the band released 3 albums and ║ │ │║ thereafter, retained a cult following that has ║ │ │║ never died to this day. With Bonnet on something ║ │ │║ of a roll in recent years, as part of his 2017 ║ │ │║ Japanese tour of ôThe Bookö, he reunited with ║ │ │║ Alcatrazz co-founders Jimmy Waldo (keyboards) ║ │ │║ and Gary Shea (bass) after 33 years for a unique ║ │ │║ series of farewell shows in Osaka, Nagoya and ║ │ │║ Tokyo. Rounded out by Mark Benquechea (drums) ║ │ │║ and Conrado Pesinato (guitars), both from the ║ │ │║ Graham Bonnet Band, ôParole Denied û Tokyo 2017ö ║ │ │║ is 11 live tracks, 8 rehearsal / studio demos ║ │ │║ and a 12 track filmed DVD to bring final closure ║ │ │║ to this band in fine style. Led by BonnetÆs ║ │ │║ still amazing vocals, the material typically ║ │ │║ takes a Rainbow flavour and depending on his ║ │ │║ co-composing guitarist at the time, ║ │ │║ neoclassical, rhythmic and classic rock aspects. ║ │ │║ With WaldoÆs pumping keys powering the 70s hard ║ │ │║ rock groove on æToo Young To Die, Too Drunk To ║ │ │║ LiveÆ, Conrado PesinatoÆs guitar brings a ║ │ │║ tasteful modern rock element that really injects ║ │ │║ the energy û and indeed, he should be commended ║ │ │║ for his starry performance throughout in being ║ │ │║ able to handle these classic songs originally ║ │ │║ conceived by those legendary guitarists oh so ║ │ │║ splendidly! Throughout it all is Bonnet, hitting ║ │ │║ the highs, every now and then fraying but simply ║ │ │║ unflappable in his soul and conveying the ║ │ │║ passion ceaselessly, all to the rapture of the ║ │ │║ appreciative audience. On the more metallic æJet ║ │ │║ To JetÆ with Benquechea firing up the double ║ │ │║ bass drums, the massive melodies be they through ║ │ │║ the keys or guitars are no less dramatic and the ║ │ │║ chorus is nothing short of heavenly û not ║ │ │║ forgetting PesinatoÆs brilliant neo classical ║ │ │║ guitar work û truly worthy of a concerto in his ║ │ │║ own right! Bringing it to a close on the slower, ║ │ │║ but no less punchy æHiroshima Mon AmourÆ with ║ │ │║ its 80s synth and high harmonies complementing ║ │ │║ the pure hard rock beat of SheaÆs deep rumbling ║ │ │║ bass and a pure heavy metal solo from Pesinato, ║ │ │║ ôParole Denied û Tokyo 2017ö captures this ║ │ │║ unique farewell performance both on audio and ║ │ │║ video, ensuring the legacy of this band, and its ║ │ │║ faithful fans will remain unforgotten. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review written by Shan Siva for ║ │ │║ www.battlehelm.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Graham Bonnet - Vocals ║ │ │║ Gary Shea - Bass ║ │ │║ Jimmy Waldo - Keyboards ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Mark Benquechea - Drums ║ │ │║ Conrado Pesinato - Guitars ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ - CD1 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Night Of The Shooting Star [01:02] │ │ 02 - Ohayo Tokyo [03:23] │ │ 03 - Too Young To Die...Too Drunk To Live [04:46] │ │ 04 - Suffer Me [05:12] │ │ 05 - God Blessed Video [03:29] │ │ 06 - Will You Be Home Tonight [05:17] │ │ 07 - Jet To Jet [04:41] │ │ 08 - Witchwood [03:13] │ │ 09 - Skyfire [04:25] │ │ 10 - Hiroshima Mon Amour [04:05] │ │ 11 - Island In The Sun [04:29] │ │ 12 - Hiroshima Mon Amour (Soundcheck) (Bonus Tr [04:03] │ │ - [ ] │ │ - CD2 [ ] │ │ - [ ] │ │ 01 - Emotion (Studio Demo 1985) [04:21] │ │ 02 - No Imagination (Studio Demo 1985) [03:31] │ │ 03 - Losing You Is Winning (Studio Demo 1985) [03:09] │ │ 04 - Please Call Me (Studio Demo 1985) [03:45] │ │ 05 - Blue Boar (Studio Demo 1985) [03:22] │ │ 06 - Ohayo Tokyo (Studio Demo 1985) [02:25] │ │ 07 - Set Me Free (Rehearsal/Studio Demo 1985) [04:05] │ │ 08 - Rider (Rehearsal/Studio Demo 1985) [04:19] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [77:02 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
