mate stubb Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm pumped for the Zombies show next weekend here in town. It will be a chance to see one of my keyboard heroes - Rod Argent was equally as important to me as Mark Stein and Jon Lord as my very first rock Hammond influences. I expect them to be poppier than Argent was, but here's hoping Rod will get some chances to cut loose.

linwood Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'd go see that in a heartbeat. I've got all the old Argent lp's, but never have been able to catch him live yet. I'm hoping Once Upon A Dream with the Rascals comes through town. I'd love to see Felix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StartRun Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Saw them in Nashville in March. There was a nice mix of Zombies; mid-60's pop, O & O, and recent; Argent, and arrangements of Colin Blunstone tunes. I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I was seriously considering driving over to Ames for this show but then noticed the date conflicted with a long-planned trip to Minneapolis. Make sure you give us a review!

Dana. Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've seen The Zombies twice in recent years, including this past summer in Central Park. They sound amazing -- even more so when you consider Rod and Colin have been together for 50+ years(!). Rod had a PC3X and a Hammond XK-2(?). Enjoy!

Tonysounds Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 So....HOW WERE THEY! Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mate stubb Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Zombies rocked it tonight in a nice little local auditorium. We really enjoyed ourselves. Rod played a Kurz PC3 most of the night with an XK3 organ, monitoring thru a couple of big JBL PRX speakers on poles. It was the last night of their current tour, and they were high energy and tight. Colin still has his range and Rod tore the house down on Hold Your Head Up!

Bridog6996 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I was lucky enough to play on a bill with Rod and Colin Blunstone at last year's SXSW, where they did a piano/vocal duo thing. There was a ton of music that week, but that was the #1 highlight. Easily the best part was being able to hang with those guys backstage. They were super cool, and I heard some amazing stories. I have to be honest in saying I wasn't particularly a huge Zombies fan previously (they were way, way "before my time"), but I definitely am now. You can tell they thoroughly enjoy every second they're on stage. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
