Living Colour (formed in 1984) is an American funk, rock, jazz and heavy metal band hailing from New York City, U.S.

Formed by English-born guitarist Vernon Reid, Living Colour grew out of the Black Rock Coalition, a non-profit co-founded by Reid, for black musicians wanting to play rock and roll. Living Colour’s early musical excursions were an experimental mix of instrumental tangents, jazz jams, funk fusions and punk rock attacks, in contrast to their later major label releases.

Living Colour’s line-up became a fixture in 1986 consisting of Vernon Reid, vocalist Corey Glover, Muzz Skillings on bass, and Berklee College of Music graduate Will Calhoun on drums. Performing regularly and honing their skills the band released their debut album “Vivid” on May 3, 1988, which became popular after MTV began playing the video for the song “Cult of Personality. The album charted well at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and led to performances on Saturday Night Live, a Grammy Award and a support slot on The Rolling Stones’ Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour.

With their second album “Time’s Up” failing to live up to the first the band played a show at Lollapalooza in 1991 and released an EP of outtake entitled “Biscuits” to raise their profile. After which Skillings left the group to be replaced by Doug Wimbish, whom with the help of released the ambitious “Stain”, which reached No. 26 in the U.S. charts.

With such a plethora of musical influences the band couldn’t agree on a single musical direction and disbanded in 1995. They returned five year later in 2000 and played a live show using Calhoun’s and Wimbish’s drum and bass project Head>>Fake in which Reid and Glover made appearances. Despite critical acclaim their Living Colour’s fourth studio album failed to chart, and Sony released a extensive career spanning best-of compilation titled “Everything Is Possible: The Very Best of Living Colour”.

In 2006 Living Colour including Skillings for the first time in 14 years played a party Jack DeJohnette threw for his wife, and followed the show with a week-long European tour. The band’s fifth full-length album “The Chair in the Doorway” was released in 2009 landing an No. 159 on the Billboard 200 and was followed by a worldwide tour.

Live reviews

LIVING COLOUR - my mind has again been blown by these guys, which is not that easy to do these days. I've seen 100's of live shows at this point (it was one of the driving reasons for me to move to London back in 2003), and I've been lucky enough to see Living Colour roughly 10 times. I thought I had seen everything they had to offer. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what they are serving and I will eat it up all day long, but Sunday Oct 1st at ULU in London? Holy smokes, this show was different. It was a step above every other LC show that I've attended, and I didn't think this was possible as the bar was already through the roof. There is so much to love about this quartet of freakishly talented musicians, each one is very much at top of their field (no blowing smoke here!). Not only that but these guys are the definition of synergy - they come together and make each other better, stronger, even more mind blowing. How the hell are they still so damn humble?? And why aren't they playing venues 10, 15, or 20 times the size of ULU? (No disrespect ULU, I love you really). I loved how each member got a solo moment to highlight their individual other-world talent, Doug Wimbish entrancing us by laying down a bass groove loop and then layering a very Wimbish melody on top; Will Calhoun even stepped out from behind his drum kit to take centre stage with some electric square bongo type device (someone please help me identify it before I embarrass myself further). The new material from just-released ”Shade" sounded fantastic (Who Shot Ya, Who’s That, Come On) and was very well received by all in attendance. Folks had really done their homework as lyrics to the new tracks were being belted out with much passion…

Report as inappropriate

Marking the 25th anniversary of 'Vivid,' the four rockers from New York City headed to Glasgow's Garage with their signature melange of grunge, funk and metal. With a set running from "The Cult of Personality" through to "Which Way to America?" this was a show primarily for die-hard fans.

The first thing that struck many of the crowd was Corey's unusually demure attire. Where were thoe trademark spandex shorts? However, from the very first track it was clear that Corey had lost none of his charm and humour, joking and singing with the crowd, to which he received nothing but love and rapturous applause. Although he may have been the star of the show, Vernon's enthralling guitar solos in 'The Cult' commanded our attention and definitely stole some of Corey's limelight. All of the favourites were performed, but the soulful rendition of "Amazing Grace" provided a calm interlude and moved me to tears. The band yielded to let Corey's stripped-back, heartfelt vocals rip through the air. This was by no means a perfect performance - the encore track "Love Rears its Ugly Head" was somewhat anti-climactic after such a high-pace set, but nonetheless it rounded the night off with a well-received sensual groove. It was also fairly unfortunate that the venue acoustics didn't allow for much discernible musical detail, but their mastery of performance and cohesion as a group demonstrated that Living Colour can still deliver the magic.

This show was UNBELIEVABLE! Living Colour still rocks as hard as they ever have. Great setting, great opening acts (Derek Day was very entertaining and better than I expected while The Veldt had tremendous energy and a tremendous sound) and the headliners' energy and volume were incredible. They were better last night than they were when I saw them 25 years ago! If they're in your area, check them out. You won't be disappointed.

It was great! Typical Living Colour, playing as loud and hard as humanly possible. They gave the people what they wanted, the old stuff. Most of the crowd has aged with the band, and it was kool. Keep on rockin' LC!

WHO SHOT YA

TYPE/WHICH WAY TO AMERICA

Excellent show with lots of energy. Good to hear these awesome songs again, too bad the set wasn't any longer. The broke up the set a couple of times with solo play which was nice, but I would have been happier if they had played a couple more songs like Pride or Postman. Would definately go and see them again though when given the opportunity. Corey's voice and Vernon's guitar play are untouched by time!

I loved the show. It was Living Colour like I Love them. High Energy very good singing, strong guitar solo combined with a heavy bass. There was only one Song I missed and that is which way to america, but the only

Reason for that is, that it is my personal favorite. I couldn't Have a better Evening with Living Colour and alter Bridge. Loved it loved it loved it.

Un show de esos que no te puedes quejar de nada, tuvo temas históricos, del nuevo álbum. Los puntos altos, sin duda, las variantes que introducen en la composición original y los solos de cada integrante. Demasiados valiosos Living Colour, música por lejos, eterna.

Band was awesome!

Vocals were even better!!

Sound was absolutely terrible!!!

Sound engineers should be ashamed of themselves.

No separation of sound. One big jumble of muddy noise.

Waste of amazing performance.

Great show loved it hope to see them again sometime soon. Weather was great they were great. Can't believe that I finally got to see them and for five bucks can't go wrong.

Extreme Announce 2023 U.S. Tour With Living Colour, Reveal Two New Songs

The band also revealed two new songs from their forthcoming album

Extreme are hitting the road this summer with Living Colour. The trek kicks off on August 2 at the State Theatre in Portland, Maine and wraps up on August 29 at The Showbox in Seattle, Washington. Check out the full tour itinerary below. Venue pre-sales begin today, Wednesday, April 19, at 12pm local time HERE . General tickets and VIP Soundcheck Packages go on sale this Friday, April 21 at 10am HERE .

Last month, Extreme announced SIX – their first new studio album in over a decade. The record arrives on June 9 via earMUSIC. It is the long awaited follow-up to 2008’s  Saudades de Rock . The band also revealed the video for the album’s lead single “Rise” which was directed by lead guitarist Nuno Bettencourt.

“Musically, it’s aggressive,” says frontman Gary Cherone about album opener “Rise.” “Lyrically, it’s a cautionary tale on the rise and fall of fame. You get seduced into it. Once you’re on top, they’ll rip you apart and tear you down. That’s the nature of the beast.”

In addition to directing the music video for “Rise,” Bettencourt also produced the record.

“When Eddie Van Halen passed, it really hit me,” shares Nuno. “I’m not going to be the one who will take the throne, but I felt some responsibility to keep guitar playing alive. So, you hear a lot of fire on the record.”

When prompted, type in the presale code "RISE" to access tickets before the general public. General on-sale will be Friday, November 17 at 10 a.m. local time.

EXTREME guitarist Nuno Bettencourt previously said: "We have been absolutely blown away by all of the love and support during the first leg of the 'Thicker Than Blood' tour. You all have shown up and brought it every night and we could not be more grateful."

EXTREME 's new album, "Six" , came out on June 9 via earMUSIC . "Six" landed at position No. 10 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with first-week sales of 12,500 copies. The set marked the band's first studio album since 2008. The act was last in the Top 10 with "III Sides To Every Story" , which debuted and peaked at No. 10 back in October 1992.

Four months ago, Nuno told Tiago Ribeiro , that he was thrilled with how "Six" turned out. "I would put our album up against anybody's album; I feel that confident," Nuno said. "And I think the album itself — never mind me or EXTREME — if I heard that album and it wasn't us, I would think the same way I think about the album now. I think it belongs there. I think it's a well-made album. I think the songs are there. I think that the musicianship, the chemistry and the guitar playing. But I think, more importantly, what's really there and what people are connecting with is the mythology of rock and roll. I think that's really what's missing a lot in guitar-driven music, is that…

"I think when people saw a guitar player that's in a band with songs and arrangements and the videos and everything, it was almost like seeing something that… People are saying it's so fresh, but for us, it's, like, this is like going back for us," he explained. "This is more of a reminder than it is anything else that you can still be passionate and have fire and do all those things. And the people are letting us know that they're starved — they're starved for rock and roll like this, I think."

Live Review: Living Colour @ Tally Ho Theater — 7/28/23

Every album that is ever released will eventually have a 30th and 35th anniversary. Few bands stick around with their original, or close to original lineups to celebrate those anniversaries. Living Colour is one of those unique bands: Their debut, Vivid, was released 35 years ago. And their third album (and first with current bassist, Doug Wimbish) came out 30 years ago.

Living Colour played an amazing, if somewhat short, set at Tally Ho Theater in Leesburg, Virginia, recently. The band is currently on tour celebrating Vivid and Stain’s milestones.

At Tally Ho on July 28, the show started with The Alan Scott Band. The last time I saw Living Colour was in 2017 at the Tally Ho with Alan Scott opening. I even went with the same friends! Alan is probably the happiest opener I have ever seen. He’s a blast to watch!

Just before Living Colour hit the stage, WTFF played over the house speaker announcing the bands’ arrival. The band is the same lineup that it’s been since Stain was released in 1992: Corey Glover on vocals, Vernon Reid on guitar, Will Calhoun on drums, and Doug Wimbish on bass. The band came out on stage ready to play. This was the third show on their tour and the second of three shows in the DC area. Living Colour’s set opened with “Leave It Alone” from Stain.

Stream Stain by Living Colour on Spotify:

One of the great things about seeing Living Colour live is the banter between songs. Corey was the only band member to come out wearing a jacket and noted a few times how hot it was. After several calls of “Take It Off!,” Corey informed us all that under no circumstances would he be removing the aforementioned jacket. And even though he was apparently overheating, Corey was full of energy. He danced, did a bit of headbanging, and hopped off stage in front of the barriers and paced in front of the crowd. He even picked up a small table that was set up for drinks that had been knocked over.

The set focused mainly on the first three albums and their Biscuits EP. In fact, the only song that wasn’t from those albums was “Decadance” from The Chair In The Doorway, released in 2009.

The band played their most popular songs, including “Ausländer,” “Leave It Alone,” “Love Rears Its Ugly Head,” and “Cult Of Personality.” When they got midway through “Solace Of You,” Will Calhoun burst into a mini drum solo, which appeared to take the rest of the band by surprise. 

Next up was Bad Brains’ “Sailin’ On” from the Biscuits EP. Corey and Vernon then got into a disagreement about how many people in the audience knew who Bad Brains were. The crowd assured Vernon that we all knew who they were!

The show wrapped up with a medley of The Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go” and “What’s Your Favorite Colour (Theme Song).” The entire set was 14 songs and a little under 90 minutes with no encore. But even with that slight disappointment, it was still a great show and definitely worth seeing.

• Ignorance Is Bliss
• Glamour Boys
• Love Rears Its Ugly Head
• Cult Of Personality
• Solace Of You

Extreme and Living Colour Launch Joint Tour: Video and Set Lists

Extreme and Living Colour  opened  their joint tour  on Wednesday at the State Theatre in Portland, Maine. You can see the set lists and videos below.

Both groups will share the stage for a month of U.S. dates on the Thicker Than Blood tour, which runs through the end of August. They'll head overseas for additional shows in Australia and Japan before the trek concludes on Sept. 26.

Extreme is touring in support of Six , their first studio album since 2008's Saudades de Rock . Singer  Gary Cherone  recently told UCR they were particularly excited to play the new song " #Rebel " live. "That’s one we will probably do live for the rest of our lives. Because it’s aggressive," he explained. "I think some of the one-off festivals that we play in Europe, it might even open up the set. It’s a punch in the face."

True to his word, "#Rebel" was indeed the opening shot in Extreme's blistering 21-song set. The performance featured five songs from Six , with "Other Side of the Rainbow" and "Small Town Beautiful" making their live debuts. Extreme represented each of their albums, going heavy on tracks from their breakout Pornograffiti  and its follow-up, III Sides to Every Story .

They had fun, too, teasing a bit of Led Zeppelin's " Stairway to Heaven " before playing their chart-topping smash " More Than Words ."  Six's " Rise ," featuring a nuclear guitar solo by Nuno Bettencourt, helped wind down the concert in fiery fashion as the first song in the Boston band's encore.

Living Colour's nine-song opening set proved to be the perfect primer. The funk-metal veterans focused on their classic era, with the entirety of their stage time devoted to songs from their first three albums, Vivid , Time's Up and Stain . Opening with Vivid's "Middle Man," Living Colour mixed in fan favorites like "Type" and " Leave It Alone " alongside deeper cuts. They closed out their performance with a powerful double shot of the classic "Cult of Personality" and "Time's Up."

The Thicker Than Blood tour continues tonight in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
