Royal Hunt's "Live 1996" from Japan

[conversationpc]

If you're not familiar with Royal Hunt, shame on you.

Anyway, this is awesome stuff. This is when D.C. Cooper was still in the band, prior to their last album with him in 1997, "Paradox". I prefer him to John West, though he is also a great singer in his own right. Wish I had this on DVD. All the videos from this show, broadcast on television in Japan, are on Youtube. These are listed in the same order as the tunes on the CD are in...

1. Flight
2. 1348
3. Wasted Time
4. Stay Down
5. On the Run
6. Stranded
7. Martial Arts
8. Far Away
9. Last Goodbye
10. Land of Broken Hearts
11. Makin' a Mess
12. Clown in the Mirror
13. Guitar Solo
14. Step By Step
15. Drums & Bass Solo
16. Running Wild
17. Epilogue
18. Age Gone Wild
19. Ten to Life
20. Legion of the Damned
21. Kingdom Dark
22. Time

For you singers, check out track #8, "Far Away", especially. He sounds fantastic on all the other ones but that one song alone probably showcases his full range and technique better than the others.

You went to a great deal of trouble to put this together and I for one really appreciate it, thank you. I will spend some time watching these today while at work.

DC has a good voice but I prefer John West's, which sounds smoother, more caressing to me. He also has that "human bell sound" like SP...I highly recommend the DVD, Royal Hunt LIVE 2006...not a bad song on there.
