Lillian Axe is one of those bands that leaves you scratching your head wondering, why weren't they bigger. Unfortunately, the band got pigeon held as a hair band, but if people would stop and listen a little closer, they would realize that they are much more than that. That being said, the band has recently just released an amazing CD/DVD package (One Night in the Temple), of an acoustic show, that they did back July of 2013.
The band decided to do something special for their friends and family, as well as a few lucky fans to commemorate their 30+ year career. They decided to do an acoustic show and film it for a live CD/DVD package. Once a little more thought was put into it, they also decided to add a storytellers element to the live show, which makes this package essential, for any Lillian Axe fan. The band sound amazing and do a nice job of converting some of their heavy rockers acoustically.
The highlights of this package, are the backstage and more initmate moments, with the band. You get to see parts of the sound check as well as a Q & A with the audience. Again, the band sound great and I love how they breath new life into some older cuts, but its newer songs like Death Comes Tomorrow and Until the End of the World that really shine. This is a great package and should not be passed by.
Bottom Line: A great storytellers type performance, by the great Lillian Axe. A Best of, done acoustically.
Standout Tracks: Nobody Knows, Death Comes Tomorrow, Until the End of the World and Crucified.
-Ragman still can't believe this band isn't bigger.
