Thanks very much guys, glad you enjoyed it.
Robbie - We did 'Look After Yourself', what a song. Why it doesn't get any airplay on radio is beyond me. Tough for me to pick a favourite, 'Redneck Boogie', 'Jive Town', 'Song For the Road' and three or four more are up there

Once I'd learned a bit about Stars and thus the contact list Mick must have I began to wonder if it was some sort of a joke, just like in the film 'The Dinner Game'

Louis - Mick has an incredible voice, I actually think he sounds as good if not better now than on the original recordings from the '70s. You can see why professional singers refer to their voice as their instrument. I hadn't really picked up on the Queen similarities, but now it seems obvious. I'll post more as they become available, at this stage it's all videos that were shot from crowd members, but the sound guy had a camera rolling all night, as well as recording individually tracked instruments. They should be better
This was taken a week or so ago. We backed local singer Mick Pealing as he sang the repertoire of his old band, Stars', for the first time since a legendary 1980 concert, which our bass player attended. I hadn't heard of the band before - I wasn't born for another couple of years after said concert - but they had some fantastic songs. We had a fun night playing great songs to a sold out venue, it's definitely a career highlight for me.
