Bio:
Winger is an American hard rock band formed in New York City that gained popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's two platinum albums, Winger and In the Heart of the Young, along with charting singles "Seventeen", "Headed for a Heartbreak" and "Miles Away", put the band on the top of the charts by the early 1990s. In 1990, the band was nominated for an American Music Award for "Best New Heavy Metal Band".As the music scene changed in the early to mid-1990s due to the popularity of grunge, the band faded after their third release Pull.The band broke up in 1994, but reunited in 2001 for several successful tours. In 2006, the band's 1993 touring line-up (minus Paul Taylor but including John Roth) reunited to record the band's first studio album in over 13 years, IV, and toured in support of the album into 2008. In 2009, the band released their fifth album, Karma. As of 2013, Winger still performs on mini-tours and private events.
Album:
The excellent “Alive The Live” CD series only available in Japan. This release from last year “Live In Tokyo 1991” features the mighty WINGER at the peak of their commercial success.Recorded at Tokyo’s Yuubin Chokin Hall in March 1991, Winger’s performance for their growing Japanese fanbase is a solid amalgamation of the first two albums underpinned by a collection of signature hits in ‘Miles Away’, ‘Madalaine’, ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’, ‘Headed For A Heartbreak’ and ‘Seventeen’.King Street Records / Alive The Live revisits this classic performance with a fully restored and professionally remastered original tapes, presented with background notes and timeline photos.The show begins with ‘Madalaine’, the song that also opened their 1988 debut album and provided fans with their first taste of Winger courtesy of a debut single released in the same year. Their breakthrough hit ‘Miles Away’ fits nicely into the set, marking Paul Taylor’s rich contribution to the repertoire with a song that was originally aimed for his fiancée Emi Canyn, a member of the Nasty Habits, Mötley Crüe’s backup vocalists.Songs from their latest album, ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’, ‘You Are The Saint, I Am The Sinner’ and ‘Rainbow In The Rose’ are performed with a lively feel, edgier than the studio versions. Talented Reb Beach cracks a fantastic solo too.This is prime Winger territory, and highly recommended to all 80s melodic rock / AOR fans.
