Setlist: Wild On The Streets, Give It To Me, Helpless, This Planet And Me, To The Devil His Due, Heat Of The Night, Mine All Mine, It's Electric, Am i evil?, Thin Lizzy, Diamond Head Glasgow Academy 30/11/07 View: down the front, dancing in the moonlight Diamond Head are still great and you must see them. If you’ve written as many great riffs as Brian Tatler, you should be legally entitled to a daily round of applause for It’s Electric and Am I Evil. Of course, he’s the sole original member, but that’s one more than Thin Lizzy. Billed as a revisitation of Live & Dangerous, played sequentially, the arrival of Waiting For An Alibi as second song was greeted by a few shocked looks in the audience. And, in fact, what we got was same show they’ve been playing for a decade. John Sykes isn’t a natural frontman, but he’s worked hard at his vocals, and Scott Gorham can almost physically transport to another time and place. There’s the added bonus of the eternal Tommy Aldridge on drums, and there are sublime moments in Southbound, Warrior, Black Rose and Cowboy Song, plus a Sykes encore of Cold Sweat. Stuart Hamilton |
