June 29, 2018 at The Scene in Independence, MO. —<\/h3>\n

Guitar legend George Lynch returned to Independence with his band Lynch Mob. The band consistently is an ever-changing lineup of musicians, which currently features bassist Sean McNabb, drummer Scott Cogan and vocalist Nathan Utz.<\/p>\n

\"\"The crowd of fans waited eagerly and patiently for Lynch to take the stage. Preceded by three opening bands, Lynch Mob took the stage at 11 pm and performed a balanced set of Dokken and Lynch Mob classics, the band rocked the house for an hour and a half playing 15 songs. Quite the blast from the past, absolutely no filler tracks here, excluding the cover of \u201cRed House\u201d the set was split evenly between seven Dokken and seven Lynch Mob songs. <\/p>\n

Nathan Utz recently took over vocal duties for Oni Logan, with big shoes to fill; he handled lead vocals originally sung by Don Dokken, Oni and Robert Mason with relative ease. Scott Cogan brought a whole lot of energy to the stage bashing away on his drum kit, providing backing vocals and taking center stage for Dokken\u2019s \u201cUnchain the Night.\u201d The group\u2019s performance of \u201cWhen Heaven Comes Down\u201d was f\u2019ing heavy, Lynch\u2019s rhythmic prowess is as great as his lead skills, and he proved it here on this timeless classic. Another great tune to hear live was \u201cThe Hunter,\u201d great guitar play throughout, you gotta love Lynch. \u201cMr. Scary\u201d was the featured instrumental; despite a poor performance by the sound engineer the band rocked this one as well.<\/p>\n

The band took an opportunity to jam a bit while performing \u201cRed House\u201d and in the middle of \u201cWicked Sensation\u201d where George and the gang went into a Fusion-esque groove.<\/p>\n

Lynch made use of Marshall and Park guitar heads. Once they actually turned up the guitar, you could hear and feel his powerful, clear guitar tone cut through the PA.<\/p>\n

Armed with his customized ESP guitar, he displayed his legendary skills on all those classic songs like \u201cRiver of Love,\u201d \u201cSweet Sister Mercy,\u201d etc. One is always amazed by his serpentine fretwork \u2026 Lynch is serious about his craft, so much so, that he took to the mic and spoke harshly to the sound guys when they just couldn\u2019t get their shit together. In addition, even while he was hot about it, it didn\u2019t waver his intense performance of some great rocking songs.<\/p>\n

It was a late evening, to say the least, but so worth it to see Lynch and company tear it up.<\/p>\n
