Streetwalkers: Live at Rockpalast (+ 2 Audio-CDs)

Fun,interesting and raunchy - a proper band with a great vocalist,and real instruments playing real music that's what the Streetwalkers were all about!The band continued the partnership of vocalist Roger Chapman and guitarist Charlie Whitney,the songwriting duo at the heart of legendary British progressive band Family(formed 1967,disbanded 1973).Although the Streetwalkers were somewhat sidelined during the punk era back home in Britain,they remained consistent concert attractions in Europe.Now is the time for reassessment the recent Family reunion concerts and reissues proved a strong market exists,and Roger Chapman has a strong web presence.Two different backing bands perform on this DVD,both led by guitarist Bob Tench(Humble Pie,Jeff Beck).The 1975 show features Jonathan Plotel(bass)and future Iron Maiden man Nicko McBrain (drums).This line up recorded the albums Downtown Flyers(1975)and Red Card(1976).The 1977 line-up includes Michael Feat(bass),David Dowle(drums) and Brian Johnstone(keyboards)both of whom went on to Whitesnake.This line up recorded the album Vicious But Fair (1977).Features key songs from both Streetwalkers and Family's back catalogues,with iconic Family songs Burlesque and My Friend The Sun.
