Description
He's been hailed "The Voice Of Rock", and for good reason, as this 6 CD live box set happily testifies. With vocals soaked in blues and soul, but above all ROCK, Glenn Hughes has performed with many rock legends, including Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Hughes-Thrall, Trapeze and Black Country Communion. Despite his huge talents as a musician and as a songwriter, the 80s were relatively quiet era for Glenn, something that has been more than made up for in his much more prolific 90s, noughties and beyond.
Spanning two decades, Disc One kicks this set off with "Incense And Peaches: From The Archives Volume 1", an interesting and unusual set of demos and works in progress. Originally released in 2000 through Glenn's own Pink Cloud Records, it was a collection of previously unreleased songs covering more laid back, pop and soul sounds rather than hard rock..Glenn has always had a major following in Scandinavia, and this collection has no less than three shows recorded in Sweden, starting with his June 1993 show at the Blitz Nightclub in Borlange on Disc Two. A belting take on Deep Purple's 'Burn' is followed by 'Muscle And Blood' originally recorded by the short lived, but much loved Hughes Thrall. Glenn's first major band Trapeze are also revisited with 'You Are The Music' and 'Coast To Coast'. At the time Glenn was supporting his latest album, "L.A. Blues Authority Volume II: Glenn Hughes - Blues", from which 'A Right To Live' and 'So Much Love To Give' were taken. But it wouldn't be a Glenn show without revisiting some more Deep Purple classics, with 'This Time Around', 'Gettin' Tighter', 'You Keep On Moving' and 'Smoke On The Water' featured. Disc Three was captured three months later at Gothenburg's Zoo Club. Opening with 'The Liar' from the as yet unreleased "From Now On" album, the set also includes a cover of Hughes Thrall's 'I Got Your Number', Purple's 'This Time Around', 'Gettin? Tighter' and 'You Keep On Moving', as well as blues standard 'The House Of Rising Sun'.
