The 'Voodo Dogs' Rock, yea they do,  They transfixed the crowd at Amigos Last night,  And rock they surely did.  from the moment I got there and Angie asked me what I was drinkin,  to when i had to go I really had a good time, Kudos to jermeny for Bringing in such a fine group. he realy did us alla favor.

 On vocals we had, Richard Lee, Bass was provided by, Rick Fox, Slamming drums by, Tom Baratta,  and the great, John Sanchez on electric guitar.  They were to start at 7;30pm and they did, how often do ya see that happening. they right into song and from the get go, they howled n rocked all night.  They have been together 8years hails from parts unknown, but they said they're from Ventura.  Nice town, i like it there, for one thing it's cooler there! These guys are total pros all the way,  I heard only one thing that werent perfect, but im not going to mention it.  Just a lil thing that nobody elese probally notised. 

  From 7;30pm to afyter 11pm they jammed and rocked the place. Much to the joy of those who were there, people danced and sang along, everyone had a grand time, even me.

  Their best songs to me were, 'Miss You','Purple Rain', that was very good,  'Sweet Emotion', The Pink Floyd song,  'Time'  and the  Led Zep  medley that they played, drove everyone there nutz, John on guitar shone like a Diamond, playing as close to Jimmy Page as anyone I've ever heard,  The crowd went limp after he played a perfect copy of Jimmie's immortal lead solos on 3 songs. I loved it, They also did well on 'Bowie's, 'Fame" and "Feel Like Makin Love". This group is so very pro, from one song to the next without a break, no tuning up, no bull, just full throttle rock n roll old school, and they played the songs their way and it was good,  'Life in the Fast Lane"  was cooking, "Man in a Box" was also a stand out.  These guys don't just jam, they are consummate pros and they play songs, music, for those of us who dig this sort of old school stuff, But I still say how can Led Zep ever go out of style,  Simply great. Hope they come around again.

  Richard Lee on vocals drove all the points home with nary a bad note, his high energy out put was insane, It even tired me out to see how much he was putting out!, Rick Fox on bass and B/g voices really impressed me as his background vocals were spot on and his bass lines were in the pocket, he jammed like glass. Tom Baratta on drums laid down the most perfect drum beats, every roll was right on and he played his heart out, These guys earned every cent of whatever they got paid, if you ever get a chance to see them, check 'em out. They don't disappoint, They rock!
