Concert Review: Robert Gordon (with Chris Spedding, Slim Jim Phantom and Glen Matlock), Patriot Place/Showcase Live/Foxboro, MA - 08/12/2009 - Page 2

But, the band was at full strength with Gordon at the helm as they tore through a duo of Cochran hits, “Twenty Flight Rock” and “C’mon Everybody” (also covered by Sid Vicious), Dion’s “The Wanderer,” Terry Stafford’s “Suspicion” and Gordon’s classic “Wild Wild Women” (originally done with Spedding in 1978).

Gordon has gone through many musicians over the years and made some amazing collaborations. But, with Spedding, Matlock and Phantom, it appears he finally has found a gang that is perfect for his sound.

    I agree with John Reed in that Robert Gordon has found a group that fits his voice and style. My wife Rocky and I traveled to NYC to see him at BB Kings. This was without a doubt one of his best concerts. Right from the beginning it was a love affair with his fans. Robert has lost nothing in the three decades of his career. His voice is deeper and full of a richness that I doubt Elvis would of ever reached had he lived. His rendention of Satisfied Mind on one of his latest albums catches musically the depth and range of truly one of the top vocalist of our times. We are hoping that he remains in the USA and we can continue to see him perform.
