What an amazing show at the Showbox in Seattle last night with The Zombies performing their entire album Odyssey & Oracle in celebration of it’s 50th anniversary.
The show was split into two sets, the first being a good solid set of their classic hits as well some of their more recent music from their album Still Got That Hunger from 2015. The first set had the current members of the band performing, and the second set reunited all of the surviving members of the band (Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, Chris White, and Hugh Grundy) to perform Odyssey & Oracle.
This was a wonderful trip through the sixties from the early years with the enchanting melodies of She’s Not There, Tell Her No and I Want You Back Again, down the hippie, love, flower tripping later years with A Rose For Emily, Beechwood Park and Time of the Season. They even played one of my favorite tunes from Argent called Hold Your Head Up which jammed out to a total of 12 minutes and 22 seconds!
These guys sounded as good as they day they started with Colin Blunstone being able to hit all of the notes spot on and Rod Argent absolutely killing it on the keyboards. It’s great to see a band who has been around for so long who can still perform as they did 50 years ago. Definitely a memorable show.
