Music reviews of Memorial Concert
Music Review: A Very Fond Tribute!
Rating: 5 Stars
I FINALLY found this CD after trying to get it for nearly 2 years, and it was WELL worth the wait! This is a very fond and heartfelt tribute to a man so revered for his immense musical talents, but in some strange way, still didn't get ALL of the respect that he was so deserving of! The biggest letdown of this tremendous album is the conspicuous absence of David Bowie; I feel his not appearing on this album a show of GREAT disrespect! What was Bowie doing then that was SO important that he couldn't afford the time to pay tribute to the man that he owes his entire CAREER to? How sad that is!Well, no matter...the treasure trove of talent that DID appear on this album MORE than makes up for Bowie's absence; everyone from Joe Elliott and Phil Collen of Def Leppard, Roger Daltrey of The Who, Roger Taylor of Queen, and Ian Hunter from Mott The Hoople and the Ronson/Hunter projects of the 1970's. Also appearing were the original Spiders From Mars (Mick "Woody" Woodmansey and Trevor Bolder) in a reunion set, as well as a brief appearance by another of my guitar heroes, Bill Nelson! Everyone involved turned in great performances, especially Ian Hunter, who contributed the lovingly personal song "Michael Picasso" to Ronson's memory; I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye in the entire theater that night!
Some of the "surprise" appearances on the album come from ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman (performing with his side project, Willy & The Poor Boys), Mick Jones and Big Audio Dynamite, and also Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel, turning in a wonderfully rousing version of his classic "Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)". Wrapping things up on this generous 3-CD set is the tour-de-force finale "All The Young Dudes", played by all of the contributing musicians; a very fitting show closer!
As tribute concerts go, this along with the Freddie Mercury tribute held the year before (which turned out to be Mick Ronson's final appearance) are the cream of the crop; they don't get any better than this! "Memorial Concert" is a limited edition of 5,000 copies and will more than likely go out of print again like the original 1997 issue. For old and new fans of Mick Ronson, this is a MUST HAVE; you'll enjoy it immensely, and it's a great way to remember a wonderful man and musician!
