Lynch Mob - 12 November 2017, O2 Academy Islington, London

This was a curious gig for me. I'm not a big guitar virtuoso fan, but this was a chance to see George Lynch's band in a small environment (and also support the live London music scene). To be fair I was not familiar with his work in Lynch Mob, however the set did include 3 songs from his time in Dokken ("When Heaven Comes Down", "Into the Fire" and "The Hunter" which I guess was only to be expected. Although the singer Oni Logan was suffering from a cold (how rock n roll to have a hanky), this didn't affect the performance.Completing the line up was Jimmy D'anda on drums and Sean Mcnabb on bass. Sadly I'll remember this gig for how short it was. Up to the 9th song I was really enjoying the gig with the songs sounding great.However during "Testify", George Lynch's amp blew up(!) and we were informed by him that he did not have a replacement.As a result an unfortunate and early end to tonight's concert. What a disappointment. Next time George, bring a spare!
