Pop, Pop Rock,
GO WEST were responsible for a string of worldwide chart hits during the 1980s and 1990s and had classic tracks featured in Hollywood films such as „Pretty Woman” and „Rocky IV”. Playing live though was and is core to the band’s existence, and this CD/DVD release records the band playing a sold out concert at the Robin 2, Bilston, England during 2003.
DVD includes outtakes, interviews with PETER COX and RICHARD DRUMMIE, as well as a history of the band.
Still, while leading beyond the obvious hits such as „The King Of Wishful Thinking” which many remember from the „Pretty Woman” movie, this concert reveals a degree of homogeneity to the GO WEST oeuvre, even though the funky „SOS” and „Innocence” rock the house, and „I Want To Hear It” is quite an athletic exercise, Cox’s grip on a microphone stand as firm as it is on the listeners in front of him. The band wring every sinew from their instruments and Drummie switches between keyboard and guitar to add texture to it all, yet, if not for a jazz piano „Missing Persons” could have test a non-initiated patience, unlike „The Sun And The Moon” that’s evoking the spirit of Otis Redding, and „What You Won’t Do For Love” that’s part of a „guilty pleasure” ministry. And there’s nothing wrong with it, as the cover of „Tracks Of My Tears” suggests: GO WEST still are the life of the party.
