Topic: Larry Miller

Saw him in Sevenoaks (Kent UK) a fortnight back, and wow he was amazingly good. Sat front row for a small townhall holding maybe 100 people he put on a brilliant show. If you get a chance to see him especially in such a venue you will not be dissapointed. Played a selection of his own songs including the barnstormer that is Mean Old World of his latest album, a truly great song. Some Rory covers (Messin With The Kid, + encore of Bullfrog Blues) and a brilliant version of his song As Blue As It Gets that segued into a middle section of playing tribute to and recreating the sounds of Jimi Hendrix, Cream Era Clapton, Stevie and Rory.

He then finished with a magnificent encore performance of Parisiiene Walkways in tribute to Gary Moore.

Support by the the also very good Melon Head Man, a blend of southern rock superstion and modern hard rock.

If you get a chance to see Larry Miller by all means take it, he was awesome and is hugely underated. Check out some recent Youtube vids of him for some proof.  + keep Melon Head Man in mind if you want to rock out.

Re: Larry Miller

I have to agree with everything that THEGREATREDDRAGON has said about Larry Miller. I went to see him for the first time at The Beaverwood last night. And he was absolutely brilliant. A bundle of energy on stage, interacts well with the audience and a truly great guitarist. A similar kind of show to the one above, about two hours  across two sets. And he's a really nice guy off stage too. I'm looking forward to seeing Larry Miller once again at The Cambridge Rock Festival in June.

Here's some vids from Larry's gig at the Boom Boom Club from February.

Re: Larry Miller

I also have to agree, I've seen Larry live four times over the last couple of years and would recommend him to anyone.

Re: Larry Miller

I saw him in January - brilliant!
"Cruel Old World" was just fabulous, I had to buy the "Unfinished Business" CD, which Larry kindly signed afterwards.

Re: Larry Miller

Caught up with Larry again last night at Sedgefield Rock and Blues Club. As dependable as ever. And therein lies a bit of a problem for me. He's a great guitarist, gives 100% and he's an absolute top bloke. But me-thinks he's becoming a bit predictable. I'm finding his stage "attire" a bit "party-party" too. He doesn't need to dress up in the flashy jacket, fake leather slacks or wear the sweatband around his head. Some blokes in the toilet said he was in danger of looking like a cross between Black Lace (google it) and Adam Ant.

Really think that Larry's got enough under his belt - good tunes, cracking guitar playing and a tight band - without the stage outfits. Think I'm harking back to the first few times I saw him when he just wore jeans and t-shirt and let his music do the talking. Time to maybe give him a miss for a while?
