Inspired by his guitar heroes Jimi Hendrix and Rory Gallagher, the young Bernie Tormé pitched up in London in 1977, then in the grip of punk rock. He embraced punk, playing the Roxy and the Vortex. But he had his reservations: \"Guitar solos not allowed\". So he was perfectly placed to hitch his wagon and trusty Stratocaster to Ian Gillan's new venture, Gillan, in 1978. Bernie's guitar histrionics were the perfect foil. Gillan's new solo band saw the singer enjoy his biggest solo successes, across four hit albums, numerous singles and appearing before millions of viewers on Top Of The Pops. After eventually jumping ship in 1981, Bernie released his debut solo album, 'Turn Out The Lights' (CD1) to chart success the following year. Bernie was joined by Phil Spalding on bass and vocals, Saxon's Nigel Glockler and Mark Harrison on drums and Gillan's Colin Towns on keyboards and flute. Following extensive touring of the UK with the Electric Gypsies, Bernie released his second solo album with the power trio featuring Everton Williams on bass and vocals and Frank Noon on drums. 'Electric Gypsies' (CD2) was produced by Bernie Tormé and Stephen Stewart. Ever the showman, it made sense for Bernie to record a live album, and in 1984 he released the self-explanatory [LIVE] (CD3), recorded in London the previous year. Putting together a new three-piece band, Bernie was backed by Colin \"James\" Bond on bass and Ron Rebel on drums. The fourth and final CD in this set is 'Live In Sheffield 1983' (CD4). Recorded live at the Octagon, Sheffield on the same tour and with the same line-up as the [LIVE] album, the show on CD4 mines a similar vein as the first live album on this collection, drawing heavily on his first two solo albums, and including a cover of Gillan's 'No Easy Way'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn Out the Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Painter Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Getting There\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Possession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Reply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chelsea Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Oh No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Try and Stop Me (From Back with the Boys)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What's Next (From Back with the Boys)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Back with the Boys (From Back with the Boys)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chelsea Girls (Live Rehearsal 1982 Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boney Maroney (Kingsway November 1979 Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wild West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lightning Strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Call of the Wild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D.I.S.E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Presences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can't Control Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Go Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Shoorah Shoorah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Search and Destroy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Possession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Search and Destroy (Live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In Paris 6.11.1982 Previously Unreleased) 16 Star (Live in Paris 6.11.1982 Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Intro\/Presences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wild West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Turn Out the Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lightning Strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Getting There\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Easy Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Live at the Red Lion Gravesend 1983\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wild West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lightning Strikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Presences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Beat (Live at Leeds Cosmo Club 3.11.1983 Previously Unreleased)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wild West\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 20th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Easy Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Turn Out the Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Presences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lightning Strike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Getting There\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Can't Control Myself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Young\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernie's Guitar Extravaganza\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Possession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Beat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No Easy Way (Repeat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"HNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44603134247133,"sku":"5013929930025","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/4238290-3028217.jpg?v=1727269742","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/bernie-torme-lightning-strikes-volume-1-1982-1983","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
