Review from Hard Force magazine

Translated with Google Translate:

The Hard Force opinion: "What a change in two years! On November 22,1985, the date of her former visit to Paris, we attended a concert that was all in all correct, but not extraordinary. Poor acoustic conditions, random visibility and nervous management weighed down our enthusiasm. Lee Aaron-the group, returns with brilliant form (is it the fact of starting the tour in Paris?), A straightforward show, solid musicians and a front-woman more beautiful than ever.
The band, first of all, sounds as perfect as the album, with the interesting contribution of keyboards and the new musical distribution of roles since the elimination of rhythm guitar. Lee has an effective stage performance and a fabulous voice, the first one overwhelmingly unleashing an audience of even supercharged ones (be careful not to push the joke too far!), The second delighting the eardrums of the music lovers who sit quietly at the back of the room (and who, for lack of seeing anything, listen religiously). The new titles mark a frank comeback of the Canadians: "Powerline", "Goin' Off The Deep End", "Heartbeat Of The World" and the genial "Don't Rain On My Parade". We relay that we are dealing with reliable musicians, excellent even, at their best. "If This is Love" has a little less impact than "Barely Holdin On", unfortunately deleted from the repertoire. The arrangements give a new dimension to old songs like "Rock Me All Over" or in the medley "Hot To Be Rocked/"Danger Zone"/"Evil Game", proof that, rejecting the label of change, the term evolution is more appropriate. The group does not actually break definitively with its past. An excellent concert, very good musicians, an opinion which engages only me, knowing the epidermal reactions of some with regard to any music bearing the melodic label. Only one complaint: come more numerous in concert, that said I understand that you prefers to watch "Dimanche Martin" rather than come to support groups which deserve it."
