Amigos

El Grande's Saloon is the third album from this Finnish "motor rock" band, as they like to call themselves. It's a combination of old school Motörhead, AC/DC and a little bit of Thin Lizzy to spice it up. Usually with Finnish bands the problem is the singer, either they can't sing in english at all, or then they lack the balls required for this kind of music. With Bryn "El Taff Bastardo" on vocals you have none of that. While the first full lenght album had great riff based hard rock, and the second album expanded on that a bit, while still keeping true to their style. This third album in just as many years seems to indicate that the band is running out of steam. After the very first listen, there was pretty much nothing memorable in it, apart from the title tracks hillbilly violins and banjos.

André is home again! Back in his home town of Maastricht in time for the traditional summer evening concert on the Vrijthof. Once again the famous square has been transformed into a fabulous open-air temple to music. And this new live DVD will allow you to experience André Rieu at his best. It features the Johann Strauss Orchestra, 100 children from the music school, the Platinum Tenors, Mirusia, Carmen and Suzan and the 13-year-old musical talent Melissa Venema on the trumpet. A real high point is the performance with the world-famous Mastreechter Staar male voice choir. And the spectacular appearance of 150 choir members holding torches was a musical and visual delight that you simply cannot miss. So enjoy this fabulous summer evening concert on our new live DVD: André Rieu – live in Maastricht 2.
