Kossoff Charity Review
CHARITY FUNDRAISING EVENT
IN AID Of 'The Paul Kossoff Fund' 19th March 2004
The gig was most enjoyable. The
venue was a very quaint old seaside theatre, about 60 miles from where I
live. DC started the night off by introducing the first act - a
Hendrix tribute called Purple Haze. Well, the guy who was "Jimi"
was pretty impressive - I'm not sure what nationality he was, possibly
Vietnamese - and he was playing the "Hendrix" reversed Strat.
He certainly had all the licks and the voice too, with some of the
showmanship - playing with his teeth, etc. The drummer and bassist
looked out of place, though - they hadn't really made much of an effort to
dress the part, and the bass was some horrible modern thing - should have
had a Fender Precision or something similar. Certainly, I could
see "Jimi" getting a different rhythm section, because he really
outshone his current pair. Right from the start, there were quite a
few people dancing, which continued throughout the night.
Then it was announced that DC and David Kossoff would be hanging around
on the floor to give people an opportunity to speak to them. I had
planned to speak to DC, but I was just too shy - silly me. Then,
David Kossoff got on the stage and said a little piece about his son and
the history of the Paul Kossoff fund, before introducing Freed.
I'd seen the band a few months before and was quite impressed. The
bassist particularly was excellent I remember, but they'd had trouble
getting a guitarist and the guy I had seen was a stand-in, because their
regular guitarist was touring with another band. The stand-in guy
had done well, but was not Koss in style. Anyway, this time they
announced that they would be having a couple of guest guitarists.
They started with (I'm guessing) their new guy, who was competant but
not really Koss enough for me. They did about five songs with him
(can't remember exactly which ones - I'll give you a rough set list at
the end) and then came the highlight of the evening - their second
guitarist, John Buckley (?)
The band were asked to do a couple of encores and it was half past
midnight before I left to drive back home through thick fog. OK,
I'll try and remember what songs they played... Remember, Fire &
Water, Mr Big, Don't Say You Love Me, All Right Now, Walk In My Shadow,
The Hunter, I'll Be Creeping, Woman, Be My Friend, The Stealer, Songs of
Yesterday.

Paul and the Hendrix Tribute
Experience Hendrix, the company founded in
1995 by the Hendrix family to oversee the estate assets of Jimi Hendrix
who died in 1970, has announced that a national tour of all-star artists
performing Jimi Hendrix tribute concerts will launch in February, 2004.
Three concert dates and venues have been announced so far: PAUL RODGERS WILL BE APPEARING AT THESE THREE SHOWS BELOW February 22, 2004, Seattle, Washington, at the Paramount Theater February 24, 2004, Portland, Oregon, at the Roseland Theater February 26, 2004, San Francisco, California, at the Warfield Theater To further immortalize this rock icon, Experience Hendrix L.L.C., the family company dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the Hendrix legacy now joins forces with McFarlane Toys to create a collectible figure of Jimi Hendrix. Working to keep the spirit of Jimi alive through music, education and community involvement, Experience Hendrix sees this venture as an opportunity to create a tangible memento for Hendrix enthusiasts to enjoy. The figure is to be released in November 2003, 37 years after the formation of the Jimi Hendrix Experience in London on Oct. 12, 1966. The release also comes in celebration of what would have been Jimi's 61st birthday, Nov. 27. This beautifully rendered and intricately detailed, six-inch action figure will come in a deluxe box set and a standard blister pack. The box set includes a replica of Jimi's six-string guitar and a custom base, memorializing Jimi's iconic stage presence at the historical Woodstock concert in August of 1969. The life-like figure recreates the persona of Jimi, dressed in his blue velvet pants and white fringed shirt, with the familiar scarf tied around his hair and another wrapped around his left leg. With his left-handed guitar strapped around his neck, the performer is leaning back from his mic stand in front of two amplifier stacks. The message spoken by this rendering is made clear by the hand of the guitarist raised, giving the "peace" sign to his adoring crowd. The base replicates an authentic section of the wooden stage with metal framing and a cloth awning. The scene is made complete with guitar effects pedals placed on the stage. The standard figure will include a guitar, smaller stage section, one amp stack, mic, mic stand and guitar effects pedals. The Jimi Hendrix figure will be available at major music and specialty retailers, as well as select toy retailers. The anticipated price is $12 to $15, with the box sets estimated at a $20.

A campaign by local author and long time fan Ms Julie Cain of Henderson Kentucky has taken on the administration and voting board of the Rock -N- Roll Hall Of Fame. Questioning why singer song writer Paul Rodgers and the bands Free & Bad Company have not been inducted into the hallowed hall? In her book The Rhythm Machine she states "Over the years they have dropped the ball many times, being motivated by the politics of the music machine, there seems to be a great deal of agreement as her web site The Classic Rock Forum And Artist Outreach http://www.network54.com/Forum/259071 which offers fans a place to chat ask questions and learn about the activities of their favorite artist, as well as offers help to artist dealing with drug and alcohol problems, has logged countless votes in answer to her call to fans. Also in agreement is Mister Jeff Cornell of MTV who in a statement provide to Ms Cain states " This is a travesty, Paul Rodgers should have been inducted years ago". Many on the web site seem to take it as an insult that Mister Rodgers and his band mates Simon Kirke, Paul Kossoff, Andy Frasier, of Free and Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke, Boz Burrell of Bad Company have been over looked yet again in favor of this years inductees. Many have expressed their dismay at Prince being inducted while what they feel is true rock and roll has been forgotten. Ms Cain states " Free was without a doubt the best band of it's or any other time, formed in 1968 their music is still as good today as anything you hear being played, and still is being played 35 years later, has sold well over 20 million units, and produced the greatest rock anthem of all time in All Right Now, which still gets air time to the tune of over one million plays per year and that's just here in the U.S. I ask you can Prince make this claim? I am not saying Prince is without talent, he is a very talented artist, but he does not have the years invested as does Paul Rodgers and his band members from Free & Bad Company. Bad Company formed in 1973 became one of the top Super Groups to ever set a stage, released 6 multi platinum albums, the talent in these artist has well passed the test of time, they deserve to be acknowledged, This is suppose to be the Rock Hall Of Fame. Throughout his career Paul Rodgers has sold over 125 Million units, his music is known world wide. He has been the front man of Free, Bad Company, The Firm, The Law, as well as kept up a solo career in which he was Grammy nominated for his Muddy Waters Blues album. Ms Cain is at present calling out to fan's to have their voices heard, and rattle the Halls a bit I want them to set up and take notice, the fans are speaking, and we are the ones that buy the music and the tickets, it is time to take out the politics of record producers and the music money machine, time to recognize true talent and the desire of the fans to see their music honored.
Thank
You Judy for all your hard work on
this project. Let the fans have a voice this
time........................
