I remember
to hear about this group when they were the support band of a French AC/DC
tour. It was in 1981 or 1982, and my friends, that were at the show, only
talked about Dave Meniketti. Thats why I bought the Black
Tiger album in 1982 (the band is born in 1974) and I could admit
that my friends told me the truth, we got a really good hard Rock n
Roll band. Then I saw the evolution of the band and I remember Mean
Streak in 1983 and In Rock We Trust in 1984. Following
their gifted leader, guitar player Dave Meniketti, Y&T is still alive
and well and they worked hard to get the respect of the new generations.
Now, the old Joey Alves (guitar) and Leonard Haze (drums) are gone and
have been replaced by John Nymann (guitar, he played with Mr Bigs
Eric Martin) and Mike Vanderhule on drums. Y&T shows are always very
intense and Dave Meniketti guitar play is always up-to-date. Thats
why its a real pleasure to find back on that DVD songs such as Lipstick
And Leather, Mean Streak, Summertime Girls,
Rescue Me, I Believe In You, Forever
and many others. Y&T said that Rock n Roll can save
the world, and we can believe that ! Recorded in Holland in October 2006,
this DVD is the best witness of the qualities of that super
Hard Rock n Roll band Y&T !
