OFF: Hoey and Focus

[BREVARD, Adrian R.]

AB,
>Who's on Bass and Drums?

Pimp slap me man.  I forget already but it is not his normal studio
partners.  Frankly I never heard of either one of these guys but they
play well enough.  Initially I thought this might be Gary and MIDI but
its a living breathing three piece.  Couple of preliminary thoughts:

A little dissapointed in the live version of Bert's Lounge,  Think he
needs a second guitar to make this sound better.  Linus & Lucy doesn't
come across as the face melter I thought it would.  Big surprise on this
sucker is The Deep.  Man that one comes out real well, the whole band
had fun with it.  Drummer shines.  The Insanity remix of Hocus Pocus is
funky, I like it a lot. Red House sounds pretty good, don't know why
Gary dosen't sing more often. He also could have saved High -Top Bop; I
would have used Stack Attack from the first cd.  Now if he really wanted
to have some fun he could have thrown in some Heavy Bones material but I
doubt if anyone would know where it came from.  I'll feed you some more
after a threepeat.

Yeah it's the Focus song alright, but I was just laying out which studio
albums were represented on the live one.  Hoey's cover of HC appeared on
Animal Instincts, his second solo.  Red House, as a cover does not
appear on any of his studio songs.

Theo BTW, knowing how much you love Ted 8>), the Hammersmith '79 ain't
too bad.  He stretches most of the songs and rambles a bit too much but
I did not know that Ted pulled an Al, three sets in one day!  Ted was
really wired in those days I can't imagine his high strung antics for
three sets.

OBCD - why Hocus Pocus Live, Gary Hoey (Hoey wih Queensryche?  There's a
thought)
