Trooper's Hot Shots Still Hits a Bullseye!
by Python46 on 2011-08-02Cloverdale Millenium Amphitheatre - Cloverdale, British ColumbiaRating: 5 out of 5Canada Day, July 1, 2011. Cloverdale, British Columbia. I could not believe both Harlequin and Trooper playing for our Canada Day Celebration here in Cloverdale. Harlequin opened with a stellar performance, Then came Trooper. We have enjoyed their music for almost 40 years now. Ra McGuire's distinctive voice sounded just like he does on their albums. They played all the favourites and a new song from an upcoming release. It sounded great. They had the audience rate it and it was a hit. Brian Smith is so cool. Brian on guitar, Ra on vocals, Gogo on Keyboards, fantastic, Scott Brown on Bass and Clayton Hill On Drums. Trooper-2011. With a new remastered Greatest Hits album out "Hits From 10 Albums" celebrates the 35th Anniversary. They make Trooper stand the test of time. More Canadian music that will hold that timeless sound. New generations will hear Their music and fall in love with it like the first. The close to two hour show was finished with a spectacular fireworks display and Ra and the Boys did a meet and greet. They all signed my Hotshots album, Posed for pictures and signed the T-shirt I picked up from them. It's a great feeling when they recognize the fans and take the time to say Hi and Thank-you. Thanks Trooper, Keep On Rockin!
