CD reissue of this extremely rare "radio station only" album, LIVE IN CLEVELAND. Only a handful of lucky disc jockeys and hardcore collectors have ever owned this album! The album features a 12 minute version of his classic ''Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo''. Rick Derringer is a guitar virtuoso who started out with The McCoys, worked with Edgar Winter and then issued numerous critically acclaimed solo albums. One particular favorite of his was this DERRINGER LIVE album from 1976.
PERSONNEL: Kenny Aaronson - bass, background vocals; Vinny Appice - drums; Danny Johnson - guitar, vocals; Rick Derringer - guitar, vocals.
It’s October 1976, and we’re in Cleveland’s premier rock venue, the smoky, boozy Agora Club. For those of you not au fait with the Derringer legend, you have to go back to the mid-1960s and a band called The McCoys, responsible for that perennial hit, ''Hang On Sloopy''. In their ranks were brothers Randy (drums) and Rick Zehringer, Rick being a guitarist, composer and vocalist of prodigious talent. Thus they became, eventually, Derringer (easier to pronounce), and like the fabled gun of the same name, they don’t fire blanks. Within a decade of 60s chartdom, they evolved into this terrific live act with Kenny Aaronson, bass, Vinny Appice, drums, Danny Johnson, guitar and, of course, at the well-gripped helm, Rick Derringer. This live album, if you’re into high-octane speed rock, will totally wear you out. It’s an air guitarist’s dream, and if you try and listen to the incredibly talented axe-twiddling on the track ''Beyond The Universe'' after consuming too much beer, you may end up needing mouth to mouth resuscitation. The crowd are loving it, and there’s some nice surprises, like a fine reading of Bowie’s Rebel Rebel, and the absolutely hair-raising ''Rock & Roll, Hoochie Koo''.
Recorded Live At Agora Club, Cleveland, For WMMS 101-FM On 11th October 1976.
