police squad Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Who's in his band for this album. This song has great feel (I don't really like the lead playing) I've googled it but I just can't find who is in the band, or at least on the single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowland Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Peter May has been Cliff's drummer since 1988, I'm pretty sure it's him on the ROB record. I met Pete at a studio I worked at as house engineer in the mid-80s and thought him a pretty extraordinary player (and all-round top bloke), one of those drummers who can play metronomically accurately or with as much feel as you could want. Googling around, I found this interview from a few years ago about the various work he's done with emphasis on West End gigs - an interesting read and insight into that world.

skankdelvar Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) To be fair, Mr Richard's voice (and demeanour) has always been polite. Even on 'Move It' the Cliff-ster sounds like a bashful, well-spoken schoolboy soliciting directions to the nearest post office. Let us never forget that Lord Cliffington's polite wholesomeness has been the foundation stone of his unfeasibly lengthy career; he is just safe enough to appeal to those people who collect model cottages, clip pictures of kittens from the newspaper and become unmanned at the prospect of loud music in confined spaces. Indeed, were the [i]soi-disant[/i] Bachelor Boy to commence one of his concerts with a shouty exhortation to 'Kick out the jams, motherf*ckers!' the profanity would fly far above the heads of his audience for never before would they have encountered said epithet. If Mr Richard's milquetoast approach to rock and roll meets the needs of a significant minority of record buyers and concert goers, who are we to gainsay them their simple pleasures? There's a place for everything and everything in its place. [color=#faebd7].[/color] Edited November 2, 2016 by skankdelvar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Seems fine to me. People who like Cliff will love it. Good to see him out performing at 75, especially after the debacle over the last year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Adams Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Sorry, but I don't like it. It's all been done so many times before and Rock N Roll should (IMO) be rough and edgy not smooth and finely honed. Almost as feeble as Michael (Hey, I'm the new Bobby Darrin) Bubble. Music for money's sake. Sorry, rant over, back in me box!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
