Offenbach - Le Dernier Show (1985)

Offenbach - Le Dernier Show (2 LP)

  John McGale was and still is a household name as was Offenbach!    Here is a spectacular live show from 1985 recorded at Le Forum in Montreal.

This double vinyl set is simply killer featuring some of the most electric songs from their vast catalogue.  Offenbach were a special band who play a mix of rock, jazz and fusion with the highest calibre of skill.

Offenbach had three members who played the guitar but also add in synths, organ, flute, sax and piano....and of course they all sang too.     Lead singer Gerry Boulet had a great rough rock voice and on this album he gets to let it wail!   Breen Le Boeuf gets to strut his bass skills while John Gravel and John McGale add thier guitars to the beat of Pat Martel.

  Great rock band and a great album to own !!!!!  Canadiana at its best !!!!
