One More time..........,

This review is from: Steve Marriott Astoria Memorial Concert [2004] [DVD] (DVD)
This DVD is of the very memorable concert held in Steve's honour at the London Astoria on 20th April 2001. The premise of the show was to pay tribute to the work of one of our best vocalists by having various bands, close friends, musical associates and relatives perform his music throughout the course of the evening. The task was never going to be particularly easy as they were basically trying to fill the shoes of a raucous blues belter, but it was all done for the right reasons and the atmosphere that the event generated on the night was magical.There were a few treats in store during the course of the evening, with various 'big names' popping up here and there to add weight to the evening. Humble Pie, fronted by Peter Frampton stormed through a five song set to give fans of Steve's later career a treat. Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer from Oasis appeared alongside Ian MacLagan and Kenney Jones in a supergroup finale to round off the evening. But the real treat of the evening was to see Steve Ellis fronting various backing bands during the proceedings and sending a shiver up the spine with his vocals which in this situation were uncannily close to that of Mr Marriott's, so much so that the ex Love Affair singer stole the show and just reminded one of his talent as one of Britain's best blue eyed soul singers! This DVD is a fitting tribute to a much missed performer and the concert is a must for any fan of Steve Mariott's music.

GREAT "WHITE" SOUL Legends - Musn`t Grumble eh Steve?,

This review is from: Steve Marriott Astoria Memorial Concert [2004] [DVD] (DVD)
Just looking at the 2 British reviews, one seems to have nicked a couple of my 'obs' from this DVD on another site or my review of the smaller [single] CD of this concert called 'Musnt Grumble' [If so - No offence taken at all if thats the case Kevin?] & then, well Dave I dont know how old you are, however it seems you may not have been around either in the 60s for the very popular Tony Rivers [tho not my cuppa on this!], & Billy Nicholls [STILL touring with The Who as does 'Rabbit' from time-to-time, oh & Ringo`s lad IS a member of The Who!]Bobby Tench - I could go on, but HOW, in gods name didnt you even mention the supreme star of the night &, as recently said - by me & others Ha! - one of the greatest blue-eyed-Soul singers in Steve Ellis [who WAS The Love Affair!]. He sang so sweetly here, there & everywhere that night & I had the pleasure - & several of his demos - of having him as a 'online mate' as a result of this concert when I thought he deserved to be told how brilliant he was on the night....yet no mention of him from ya Dave??? I`ve also got Steve singing at Guildford on, my personal, hero Paul Weller`s solo tour of the same year as this. Weller also plays many instrumentals on Steve`s last couple of solo albums. I wont go on about the 70s 'revival' if ya dinna know 'The Mods' & Dennis Greaves from '9 Below Zero' & 'The Truth' then ya couldna been there....& I`m from Nottingham!People, who didnt/dont know about the concert, it was a real rushed thing to get together & sold out very, very quickly that organisers knew they coulda picked a bigger venue [as they did for Ronnie Lane`s a few years after but there was a less attendance there &, unfortunately, it wasnt in the same league as this concert despite the re-appearance of Ellis, Paul W, Midge, Greavesy & joined by Townshend, Sam Brown & on....]. I wasnt a great fan of Stevie Marriott`s work with Humble Pie, however they did contribute to the night for the few more 'rockier' geezers in the crowd, however I think the night was one for the Mods. I`ve seen Weller live that many times, I lost count in the early 90s. But this Concert was/IS up there with the best of any of Paul`s. Maybe it was the raw emotion of it all but you had to be there. If you werent there, all I can say is BUY THIS & join in at the end of the 'supergroup`s' [including Ellis...& just about everyone else!] session....WE ARE THE MODS, WE ARE THE MODS, WE ARE, WE ARE, WE ARE............altogether now....... R.I.P. Steve, Ronnie L, Greg R & Big John Weller.

Excellent concert in memory of Steve Marriott!,
By Dave Viking "Davey" (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steve Marriott Astoria Memorial Concert [2004] [DVD] (DVD)
Steve Marriott was the nuts & this concert proves just how many bands his music influenced. With modfather Paul Weller, half of Oasis Noel Gallagher, Midge Ure, Zac Starkey, the two surviving Faces - Kenny & Mac, Free key player ‘Rabbit’ and Deborah Bonham amongst others this would have been an amazing gig to get tickets for. If you didn't get to go to the gig, like Steve Marriott, The Small Faces or any of the artists who performed at the concert then this is a MUST HAVE in your collection! I give it a massive 5 out of 5 as it showcases British musical talent at its best!
