UNION – Live In The Galaxy (1999)
This is a really nice request as this band needs to be discovered by masses. UNION was formed in 1997 when ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, ex-MOTLEY CRUE vocalist and guitarist John Corabi, bassist James Hunting (DAVID LEE ROTH), and drummer Brent Fitz (SLASH) united to form a band. Kulick left Kiss after they decided to go back to their original lineup, and Corabi left Mötley Crüe under similar circumstances.
In between the band’s self-titled debut, 1998’s “Union” and 1999’s second effort ”The Blue Room”, UNION recorded this “Live In The Galaxy“, and glad they did it.
It’s an intimate, so polished performance / recording that you barely notice this is a live recording.
And the band did their own, wonderful versions of the Kiss songs “Jungle” and “I Walk Alone”, Cheap Trick’s classic “Surrender”, and the Beatles “Hide Your Love Away”, and my fave, “Power to the Music” from Corabi days in Motley Crue.
Recently all Union albums were reissued including bonus tracks, buy only on vinyl LP limited edition unfortunately sold out. Hope hope for a CD reissue soon.
