Daddy & The Steamers ???

Daddy & The Steamers were a live project involving musicians such as Jon Lord, Pete York, Miller Anderson, Tony Ashton and Chris Farlowe. Sometimes they also called themselves Rock & Blues Circus.

Here is an extremely rare live recording from Zermatt/Switzerland

Jon Lord and Zermatt have a long history together … Lord about his first visit there 36 years ago:

I first visited the village in December 1971 and fell in love with it on the spot. Since then, I come back at least two or three times every year, mostly in winter to ski, but now and again in summer too for hiking. We have even had a small flat here for the last eight years.

Unfortunately it is only an “audience recording”, but it shows very well what great music this band played … many well-known songs … listen and enjoy this power of music !

What a line-up … And I have a large MC collection of rare live recordings of this kind …

Recorded live at the Hotel Post, Zermatt/Switzerland, February 1989
very good audience recording
