This is the 3rd time Chris Holmes has played the Underworld in the last 19 months.I reviewed his concert back in October 2016 where I gave it a rating of 7/10. So was this one better? Slightly, due to more WASP songs being played (8 in total). Despite playing to a very small crowd we were treated to more WASP tunes than from October's gig. Starting off "On Your Knees" this was a mixture of solo and WASP songs. The best of his solo stuff being "Born Work Die".Personally this is one of the best value for money show I've seen in a long time at the Underworld as we get a total of 18 songs in over 90 plus minutes. Backed by a great band, Chris obviously took lead vocals on his solo songs whilst Kevin Van Raiser didn't disappoint with his best Blackie performance on the WASP songs. Finishing off with covers of Black Sabbath, Jeff Beck and Neil Young we all went home satisfied. All WASP fans would love to see Chris & Blackie back together again playing under the WASP moniker, but it will never happen. At least when Chris tours we get to hear "Animal".
Fact - this was a better concert than WASP's 'Crimson Idol' tour last year!
