Miljenko with guitar in hand for Everybody Loves Eileen, followed by Angel Eyes from the self-titled album. When surrounded by the best, you are the best!!! Holding down the low end, on bass having a good time flashing a smile, Marten Andersson and shredding through his parts is guitarist Joe Pessia.
Vibrating the walls and grabbing the fan’s attention during his drum solo was Mike Humbert, standing to take a bow. I have sung the praises of Miljenko, but this also applies to the great musicianship that surrounds him no show is complete without solos. Now that we are halfway through the show, we’ll slow it down to probably my favorite moment the beauty, passion, and emotion were breathtaking Miljenko is a phenomenal vocalist with a diverse vocal range, in a spotlight moment of She’s Gone from the self-titled album Steelheart. However, he did address the fans stating even wearing masks, he can see we all were smiling, as he sent out a sincere thank you for being there, that it meant a lot to him seeing all the fans. Miljenko doesn’t spend much time speaking to the audience he lets his showmanship do the talking. Following with the song Cabernet off the album Wait. In celebration of the 30 th Anniversary, we’ll step back to Steelheart’s self-titled album with Gimmie Gimmie not much has changed in those years Miljenko still has that charisma, charm, great smile, do I dare say sex appeal, as he works the stage. Then, rounding out the first three songs with My Dirty Girl from the most recent album Through Worlds of Stardust. Steelheart was not wasting any time keeping the fans in a frenzy opening the night with Blood Pollution, following up with Living The Life from the album Rock’n Milan (Live). The lights start to fade, meaning it’s showtime as the cheers rise, drummer Mike Humbert, bassist Marten Andersson, and guitarist Joe Pessia are getting their grove on as you hear a faint voice through the beat, as frontman Miljenko Matijevic makes his entrance smiling, high fiving the hands of the fans in the front row. The anticipation starts to rise as the fans keep watching the upper lever of the Whisky a Go Go for signs of the band’s arrival. Getting the hearts of the fans pumping and ready for Steelheart were three local bands, If I Fall, Prima Donna Rising, and Wikkid Starr.Īs the stage is being turned over for the last time of the evening. These diehard rockers are ready to let loose and have a good time. The occasion… the iconic band, Steelheart, celebrates its 30 th Anniversary while re-opening The Whisky a Go Go post-pandemic to a packed house.Īrriving at approximately 7:30 PM, to a pre-pandemic familiar sight, the Marquee is lit up with the bands’ names, and a line has formed around the Whisky waiting to go inside. Thursday, July 22 nd, was an evening of celebration at the iconic Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. So, everyone thought, how will that affect the upcoming concerts? As they say, the show must go on…. Here in California, we are finally starting to see that happening then we hit a snag on Saturday, July 17 th at midnight, it was mandatory that Angelenos now have to wear masks indoors, even if they have been vaccinated.

NO live music, which was a hard note to swallow in this industry.Īs the world starts opening up, other states are in full swing, festivals, concerts are being booked, and the fans are out there getting their fill of live music that keeps them going and warms their soul. Tours were stopped, concerts were not being booked, venues and clubs shutting their doors… It’s been 16 months since the world has been on shutdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
