A three-piece from Scotland, featuring Gill Montgomery on guitar and vocals, and Heather &amp; Hannah McKay as the rhythm-section, the girls belted out a 30 minute set of high-octane rock, clearly influenced by the likes of AC\/DC and Airbourne, taking me back to seeing Girlschool in the early 1980s \u2013 from their new album \u201cGAME ON\u201d being released in the UK this month. Musically solid and with a huge guitar sound, the band will benefit from touring with such pro bands in developing their stagecraft, but certainly won over a large proportion of the crowd, closing with a singalong of \u201cHARD &amp; HEAVY\u201d. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theamorettes.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">http:\/\/www.theamorettes.co.uk\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Both of the main acts were doing full headline sets, so the stage was cleared for the BSR gear and a new backdrop of the latest album cover for \u201cKILLER INSTINCT\u201d. The current band features the core threesome of the Thin Lizzy band which toured Australia in 2013 with Kiss \/ Motley Crue \u2013 Scott Gorham, Ricky Warwick and Damon Johnson \u2013 with a new backing duo of Jimmy De Grasso (Drums ) and Robbie Crane (Bass), and now that there is a second BSR album, there is a little less need to rely on the classic Lizzy material to support the set \u2013 although you can\u2019t avoid it. Ricky Warwick remains a terrific frontman for BSR, and also provides the Irish brogue for the Lizzy songs. Damon Johnson is a fantastic guitarist, and more than holds his own with the Brian Robertson \/ John Sykes foil to the so-cool Scott G whose understated solos are just a delight to watch \u2013 even when his gear issues threatened to wreck the set.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">I really like the BSR originals, and set-opener \u201cBOUND FOR GLORY\u201d is a cracker \u2013 followed up with \u201cJAILBREAK\u201d, and then \u201cKINGDOM OF THE LOST\u201d and new song \u201cCHARLIE I GOTTA GO\u201d. \u201cHOODOO VOODOO\u201d and \u201cBLOODSHOT\u201d from the BSR album bracket a storming \u201cARE YOU READY\u201d before another newie \u201cTHROUGH THE MOTIONS\u201d. \u201cHEY JUDAS\u201d from the first album works so much better live and this really lifted the crowd into the massive new track \u201cSEX, GUNS &amp; GASOLINE\u201d before the set closed off with 4 Lizzy standards including the wonderful \u201cEMERALD\u201d, and new song \u201cFINEST HOUR\u201d which I thought could be classed as BSR\u2019s version of ROSALIE\u2026.just before they played the Lizzy classic. New album title track \u201cKILLER INSTINCT\u201d was the set-closer, and then the green lights shone to celebrate the Irish rugby win, before a raucous reception for a storming \u201cWHISKY IN THE JAR\u201d brought the BSR show to close.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">A further gear clearance revealed the chess-set inspired War of Kings backdrop and riser \/ backline \u2013 before the intro-tape heralded a white-light drenched stage for the new album title track, followed by \u201cHOLE IN MY POCKET\u201d and \u201cLAST LOOK AT EDEN\u201d \u2013 with Joey Tempest still seeming to be the 20-year old frontman we all remember from seeing The Final Countdown on TV for the first time. Energy and enthusiasm to burn, he runs through what he called \u201chis moves\u201d while still showing what a powerful voice he has. He noted that his 7yo son thinks some of the moves are a little embarrassing, which bassist John Leven said that the rest of the band agreed with too! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">It is so obvious just how together this band is after so many years \u2013 with John Norum holding the sole guitar role, supported by Mic Michaeli on keys \u2013 with the signature Europe sound coming to the fore with \u201cROCK THE NIGHT\u201d, which raised the roof of the Empire, followed closely by \u201cSUPERSTITIOUS\u201d. John Leven and Ian Haugland provide a straightforward and solid backing to the melodies, with occasional flashes of brilliance throughout the set. Joey Tempest is just a livewire onstage, and really knows how to work the crowd \u2013 clearly not taking himself too seriously, and having a blast.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">\u201cWASTED TIME\u201d was tonight\u2019s selection from the Stormwind album, followed by the classic ballad \u201cCARRIE\u201d, then two new songs, \u201cNO STONE UNTURNED\u201d, and a slightly more industrial stripped-down \u201cPRAISE YOU\u201d which worked well live. One of my favourites, \u201cSEVEN DOORS HOTEL\u201d kicked off the run for home, with \u201cFIREBOX\u201d then \u201cLET THE GOOD TIMES ROCK\u201d before the set closed with a mammoth \u201cCHEROKEE\u201d, another from the new album &#8211; \u201cDAYS OF ROCK AND ROLL\u201d, and the inevitable \u201cFINAL COUNTDOWN\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">No partisan crowd here \u2013 the whole audience were equally supportive of the two headline bands \u2013 just showing that an innovative double-header bill of two such well-loved bands \/ musicians can really work on a national tour.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Essential Information<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Venue:<\/strong> Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire, London<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Date:<\/strong> March 21, 2015<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Supported By:<\/strong> The Amorettes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Website:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.europetheband.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">http:\/\/www.europetheband.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackstarriders.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">http:\/\/www.blackstarriders.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Photos and review by:<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"> Peter Coates \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/InsideEdgePhotography?fref=ts\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Inside Edge Photography<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/maytherockbewithyou.com\/mtrbwy\/2015\/03\/europe-black-star-riders-%e2%80%93-shepherd%e2%80%99s-bush-empire-london-%e2%80%93-march-21-2015\/\">Check out our full gallery HERE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Set List:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Europe<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">War of Kings<br \/>\nHole in My Pocket<br \/>\nLast Look at Eden<br \/>\nRock the Night<br \/>\nReady or Not<br \/>\nSuperstitious<br \/>\nThe Second Day<br \/>\nCarrie<br \/>\nWasted Time<br \/>\nNo Stone Unturned<br \/>\nPraise You<br \/>\nSeven Doors Hotel<br \/>\nFirebox<br \/>\nLet the Good Times Rock<br \/>\nCherokee<br \/>\nDays of Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll<br \/>\nThe Final Countdown<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Black Star Riders:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Bound for Glory<br \/>\nJailbreak<br \/>\nKingdom of the Lost<br \/>\nCharlie I Gotta Go<br \/>\nHoodoo Voodoo<br \/>\nSoldierstown<br \/>\nAre You Ready<br \/>\nBloodshot<br \/>\nThe Boys Are Back in Town<br \/>\nSex, Guns &amp; Gasoline<br \/>\nThrough the Motions<br \/>\nHey Judas<br \/>\nEmerald<br \/>\nFinest Hour<br \/>\nRosalie<br \/>\nThe Killer Instinct<br \/>\nWhiskey in the Jar<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the second of two nights in London, and the last night of the 15 date UK tour for this cracking double bill, and on early arrival at the venue, there were already two long lines of people queuing for the doors \u2013 40 minutes prior to them opening.
