Wig Wam was the first band on stage starting out with their brand new single, the Mel C-cover "I Turn To You". From the very beginning the band rocked the about 1.800 people showing up this afternoon. They proved they know how to treat and entertain their audience with an image full of 70's and 80's glam elements and pyrotechnics. After the next song "Bless The Night" we got a medley of covers by Aerosmith (a band I rarely hear someone covers), Scorpions and AC/DC before we got the great "Mine All Mine". I will inform that Wig Wam was a cover-band until last year playing classics by Europe, Kiss, Def Leppard, Sweet, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi etc. I must say that they do these cover-songs very well, but vocalist Glam isn't suitable for all of them. But Glam is a clever singer with a great voice, no doubt about that! During the next song "Out Of Time" the band was dressed up as munks "fighting". Quite funny and very entertaining. I found it a bit strange that they did so many cover-songs wen they continued with 2 songs by AC/DC as they've just released an album of own material. But then we soon got "Tell Me Where To Go" to slow it down for a moment. This early Alice Cooper-like ballad sounded great live. But soon we got a blistering guitar-wanking performance by Teeny in "Erection" (the song, not the feeling) and some drum-banging from Sporty which sequenced into Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz", a song the band do extremly well. I was happy to hear they tuned into "Car-Lyle" and "No More Living On Lies" from their album only interupted by Van Halen's "Jump" (which was the song that Glam didn't do very well). "No More..." sounds a bit tougher and rawer live than on the album, and it suits the song very good. Then another medley of cover songs turned up. "Hard To Be A Rock'n Roller" came next and Glam now sounded a bit tired, but still did a great job. The last cover was Europe's "The Final Countdown", but the keyboards (put on tape, no keyboard-player) was drown in the mix. To end it all we got "Crazy Things" to sum it all up, "those crazy things we do for love..." (of our audince...) All in all the band did a great performance and had a good sound out to the audience. During their nearly 90 minutes appearance alot of cover-songs was needed as the band only got one album out (yet). They are musicians and entertainers and makes us re-live the 80's rock-scene. I highly recommend anyone to see this band live.
