Zoot the Reunion Live

Let's have a look at the live CD by the legendary Australian group from the 60's and 70's Zoot called Zoot Live The Reunion. In November 2011 legendary Australian group Zoot known for hits like Eleanor Rigby,1x2x3x4, Monty and Me and others got back together to perform for Rick Springfield and Friends Cruise that sailed through the Caribbean which it was the first time the group played together since they broke up in 1971 and the line up that played that reunion were Darryl Cotton,Beeb Birtles, Rick Springfield and Rick Brewer which the show was an great success and there were talk of an Australian tour but sadly on July 27th 2012 Darryl Cotton lead singer passed away from cancer aged 62 but the reunion is captured on Cd and DVD. On this live CD/DVD they performed the classic Zoot songs including Eleanor Rigby, 1x2x3x4, You Better Get Going Now as well as classic rocks songs including Summer In The City and Substitute and also besides from the 4 members a guy named Matt Bissonette played bass guitar and also the announcer Mark Goodman did the intro. It is AWESOME,ROCKIN and BRILLIANT with great songs and the band just rocked and rocked on the CD and DVD and there great extra stuff on the DVD which has Meet Zoot and them rehearsing and performing as well which looked great too. Rick Springfield produced it with Matty Spindel doing the the recording and the mixing as well as Rick Brewer,Rick Springfield and Beeb did the liner notes and a guy called Bruce Hutchins who is an Australian liaison for the CD/DVD did the liner notes. It's an must for AUstralian rock n roll fans as well as fans of the 60's and 70's and I am giving this 5 stars which it's in the shops now so do yourself a favour and BUY IT.
