Dragon Live

As my previous post indicated, I saw Dragon live over a series of three concerts last week. They were a very big Australian band at one time and though sadly the former lead singer Marc Hunter is no longer with us, the band is still very good. The music is tight and the overall sound is exceptional. I have come to know and respect the musical talents and people that Todd, Mark, Bruce and Peter are. The album they are releasing soon is called "Remembers" and their concert first set was a series of songs sung in tribute to prominent Australian singers who are no longer with us. It was a fitting tribute and brilliantly executed. The last set was all Dragon, and though the rich tones and warmth of Marc Hunters voice are gone, Mark Williams and the band carried off the songs with as much dexterity and energy as I could remember of them previously.

I thought I would share a couple of shots I created of the band together with some live shots taken at the gigs. The lighting was terrible but for a small intimate venue it is almost par for the course. You will also see their new Album cover which I photographed. Though the graphic artist they used posterised my photo, it was still me who took it!!
