Canned Heat
Live At Rockpalast 1998 (+dvd)
The story of Canned Heat is one of triumphant perseverance, for despite their successes and disasters, the band has maintained their musical integrity and commitment to the blues, and is admired and active to this day. When the band performed at Rockpalast in 1998, Fito de la Parra and Larry Taylor, who previously played bass and now plays guitar, were joined by vocalist and slide guitarist Robert Lucas and bassist Greg Kage. During their performance, the band performs many of their most popular songs, including 'On The Road Again', in which de la Parra attempts to recreate Wilson's extraordinary, haunted vocals while the band performs some of the hit record's mesmerizing magic. As the performance at the Rockpalast in 1998 proved and every performance since has underscored, Canned Heat were never purely a nostalgic band. In fact, they have always been a blues band of irresistible power that has been delighting audiences for over fifty eventful years.
