“BAD MEDICINE” – Live In Concert Review
Q-Bar, Darien, IL / May 6th, 2023By: Bud Monaco |
Another night on the rock club floor, witnessing an outstanding performance by “BAD MEDICINE” and witnessing a spectacular guitar performance by ‘Tone King’ fretmaster Joey Miroballi.
“BAD MEDICINE” took the full house crowd on an elliptical trip to the grand decade of 1980’s rock and roll, highlighted by their exacting performances of ‘Bon Jovi’s’ greatest hits.
As outstanding that “BAD MEDICINE” is with Vocalist/Guitarist Joe Frasca, Drummer Joe, Bassist Dave, and the statuesque perfectionist Keyboardist Diane Tragos, the true star of the show was Joey Miroballi.
Joey’s performance was once again, (in the iconic grandeur of the legendary Jimmy Page, Brian May, Jeff Beck, and those other majestic guitarists), as he raged and shredded and heralded with absolute perfect personifications of guitar wizardry, and with his fretmaster techniques stretching from one cosmic tangent to the next, he did so with absolute perfection of guitar wizardry equal to all of the most heralded and greatest guitarists that have ever strapped on a guitar. And he did so throughout the two and a half hour performance, with flawless and dynamic tones that few ‘Tone King’s’ of his level of greatness have done before.
To witness a performance of such was all consuming, as Joey immersed his heart and soul into every chord and note he hammered out with integrity and dynamics that few guitarists are, and would ever be, able to achieve.
