Reviews: Amadeus Live in Radio Active Nightmares - 13th Of September

Radio Active Nightmares RAN - Chapter III
By Rach April Minä

When September Rolls around that means just one thing there in Lynchburg Tennessee ... Jack Daniel's Birthday . However, The Day and even The Year remain unknown. In the Windy Town of Brummana , When 13th September arrived , That meant a Whole new Chapter of Amadeus Awad's Awaited Radio Active Nightmares Show.Sitting on top of a pine-forested Hill , Over-looking Beirut and the Mediterranean coast , This Beautiful resfreshing town offered us the right ambiatic imageries to get in the mood for the show that was about to take place!When we say Brummana Pubs , The first thing that comes to mind is none other than Cheers Club , where Radio Active Nightmares Show was hosted. It was RAN all over again , for the third month in a row , Back with a new Chapter ,,, And an exquisite new twist and Surprising Fresh Materials.


Amadeus had definitly added peculiar flavors to RAN III , as his improvisational performance was influenced by the Styles of the Legendaries Joe Satriani , Steve Vai and  Steve Morse.
This Experimental Fusional Rock Show was a display of Technical excellence and genuine creativity as Amadeus excelled in exhibiting both with his Deep imaginative Tricks and Touches.The themes of this night were totally assorted from others , From a lighter funkier mood to heavier symphonic melodies.The music was a combination of originals as well as improvised instrumentals. 
You would clearly feel the difference as the music varied vividly in genre and style.
RAN has also become known as a set of Musical colors and Sounds .. The thought is that It springs from the spirits of oriental beats and fuses with Dark progressive moods.

In this Artistic Musical frame , the picture isnt utterly completed without the right musicians to complement it and perfect the outcome.
Featuring the Full-line up , his brothers in life and partners in music :

- Patrick Stephan on Drums
- Marcelino Said on Bass
- Charles Sawma on Keyboards

They have put on an amazing show together!
It was , with no exaggeration , drop dead impressive, There is really no easy way to say this but These guys have caused musical wonders , and Amadeus has never seized to dazzle his audience..It was obviously remarkable the way heads were moving , eyes were closing and minds were dreaming .. Our entire bodies were reacting and here lies the beauty of this show , its ability to keep all attendees seated in their places undesiring to move an inch away from the stage . Not a note played passes unmeaningfully. Everyone was observing the way these musicians were passionately playing and a mutual interaction was manifesting beautifully . Amadeus's musicis an invitation for our imagination to dwell on his "Radio Active Nightmares".

This Band takes us on a fantasy and I quote : " Progressive rock bands sometimes used 'concept albums that made unified statements, usually telling an epic story or tackling a grand overarching theme'  "
Thats the purpose of this music and what they have successfully achieved so far ; Generally in the improvised instrumentals and more specifically and exclusively in the originals from the Upcoming Debut Album "The Poetry Of Time".Amadeus tells us mysterious tales through his improvisations and creates more of a spacial atmosphere with the use of his Ibanez JS1200 .
The highlight of the show was the way Amadeus used his whammy bar, it was so unorthodox and it has produced very unusual sounding dives and screams. 
At other points , the speed of his finger reached an unforeseen state , I have never seen fingers working those strings like grease lightning before! It was like wildfire!

It is worth mentioning that the feedbacks we got, while the event was taking place and afterwards ,  were indeed splendid and beyond satisfaction.The reputation of Amadeus's Shows speaks for itself and for the ones who attended for the first time, the credibility of his work and its authenticity was most certainly confirmed. Sincerity ; devotion and truthfulness are among the Big titles to qualify what this band is all about.

This Set includes both originals from the Album Such As the Fusional progressive tracks "Prologue" and "The Inside" ; And improvised instrumentals whose themes have become adapted and popular among listeners after many performances.
Among The songs performed , we have grown familiar with All the following :

- Prologue
 - Silent Moon
- Manifestation
- Radio Active Nightmares
- Horizontal Scan
 -Meteors In The Blue
- The Inside

- La Soledad
It was the Third song performed and it is originally a beautiful Classical cello Piece re-orchestrated and adapted by Amadeus. Now that was an unexpected yet befitting Touch that painted the night with swingy feel.

- Outro
This last song was a First-time improvised instrumental, where Amadeus used flawless double hand tapping techniques with which Amadeus has made his massive closure. What a stupefying Ending! It has certainly left us longing for more.

Amadeus has accustomed his audience with highly professional and luxurious equippement and hardware to provide the best sound system there is.

The Performance all in all was heart-stirring and Take my word when I say that Everyone that witnessed this event feels the exact same!
I would like to send out a Warm Special "Thank You" for all True friends , fans and regular attendees for their continuous support.Expect Big Announcements to come about a One-of-A kind Surprising Event in October ... When Autumn would have surrounded us with its georgous Hues.

Stay updated with Amadeus's Latest News.
See You all Soon.
