  • Description

    This collection kicks off with 1985’s “THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT”, the acclaimed live album recorded in Holland and Germany in March and April 1984 on the tour to promote the “Don’t Get Mad Get Even” album. With Paul Samson on guitar and vocals, lead vocals from Nicky Moore, Pete Jupp on drums, and new additions Dave “Bucket” Colwell on rhythm guitar and Merv Goldsworthy on Bass, the band powered through versions of classics including ‘Losing My Grip’, ‘Vice Versa’, ‘Tomorrow Or Yesterday’ and ‘Mr Rock And Roll’, as well as five tracks from the recently released album. This first CD is augmented by the addition of the “Live At Mildenhall 1982”, 3-track EP, featuring the Samson/Moore/Jupp/Aylmer line-up on their first major UK outdoor appearance at the East Anglia Rock Festival, Mildenhall, Suffolk on 24th July 1982. •Following the split, he formed Paul Samson’s Empire to promote “Joint Forces”, and included Dave “Bucket” Colwell from the last Samson line-up on 2nd guitar and keyboards, Kevin Riddles (Angelwitch, Tytan) on bass, Mark Brabbs (Tank) on drums and Sam Blue on vocals (ex-Emerson, and later with Ultravox & Dizzee Rascal). They are captured live here on “PAUL SAMSON’S EMPIRE LIVE AT THE MARQUEE” at London’s legendary club on 29th May 1986, with a set that includes ‘Burning Emotion’, ‘Vice Versa’ and ‘Earth Mother’.
