Dea Matrona ....Crossroads

The Limelight Belfast 28.5.2022

[@AthelstanEngland]

Great stage presence these two....

[@peterwallwork4778]

Just impressed with theses girls how they switch from lead to bass can’t think of many bands who’ve done it over the years.

[@seanfeeley5985]

Orlaith is so natural on that guitar.....she's a goddess in the making

[@alanalmo5834]

Never seen Jack Bruce looking better....😀

[@raystewart6524]

Anyone who can play Cream 60 years down the line this well gets my vote.. Jack Bruce would approve..

[@VinE83656]

Their version of Crossroads when they were younger and playing in the streets of Belfast, their video was shared by Jack Bruce’s official site. So, you are correct.

[@jrezvb3789]

I love them😊

[@rebeccadeane4679]

I LOVE DEA MATRONA, they know how to ROCK

[@gilgorman4796]

Great job 🎉

[@muchogustotaoskier]

Wow! Both solos! That’s new. And she shreds it! Amazing!

[@dannyharpermusic]

You girls are GREAT!! I love it!

[@user-dx4sx2ii2v]

Very very good, ladies, cooooool!!!!!

[@Tracey66]

That was great - well-done version of a blues classic. :)

[@gregbutcher_musicplacecheck12]

You girls and guy Rock!

[@baynesstreetblues]

Good capture Chris. Heaps better than the rough and ready phone footage posted from their recent European tour by others. The girls’ rendition of Crossroads is closer to the authenticity of the Royal Albert Hall original than I’ve heard from many others.

[@chrishorner2952]

Cheers David.

[@Frisbieinstein]

The original by Cream was recorded in 1968 in an ice rink in San Francisco.

[@panicandfreakout-]

@@Frisbieinstein It was a 5,800 capacity hall with wooden floors, no ice :D

[@Frisbieinstein]

@@panicandfreakout-It was recorded at Winterland. I believe the album says Fillmore but that appears to have been a marketing white lie. The Fillmore was famous and hip whilst Winterland languished mojoless.

[@ANTHONYGL23]

Fantastic. Orlaith let it rip.

[@PeterStrachanMusic]

This is superb...

[@larryfelder4404]

Great!

[@stephaniemarx9162]

Gawwwww..............Dham................ Whoooa.... Whew... I mean..........Holy.............. Ok so maybe the future isn't as dark as I fear. Peter Greene and Jack Bruce are smiling. I have watched these ladies do Oh Well, Crossroads and Whole Lotta Love. Then watched their original Red Button. Wow. Just saying "They are good" is insufficient. The last new band I felt this good about was Green Day.

[@davidterry9749]

Eric you have competition 🎼

[@soundking4]

I think I just found the band to play at my retirement party! Maybe they could work on Savoy Brown, Jethro Tull, and Ten Years after covers in the mean time.

[@VinE83656]

Except their moving away from covers and playing bigger and bigger venues. You better retire soon.

[@soundking4]

@@VinE83656 Agreed!

[@terryengland1880]

Savoy Brown my first proper gig

[@greenbudkelly2820]

These two sure tear this tune up

[@wheelie63]

i am Willie Brown...........and i approve these SUPERSTARs calling me their FRIEND !... wb

[@Koboille]

fantastique... excellentes musiciennes et super sexy!... merci

[@rogerbowen5753]

Boy can Orlaith shred!

[@cgrovespsyd]

Noice.

[@Stepz56]

Who is on drums?...hes great.

[@VerbalKint74]

Orlaith and Mollie have such star quality...oh yes...and their guitar playing is outstanding. Utterly unique. I much prefer their version to Cream's!

[@terryengland1880]

Bit of juniors waling would go down well

[@therealDac10012]

Get Sina to sit in on drums till Mamie returns 🙂

[@VinE83656]

I left a comment on one of Sina’s posts last year and she responded (at least it appeared to be her). I suggested she check them out and she said she might look into it. Evidently nothing ever came of it or it was not her or it was her and she was just being nice.

[@juliandario4749]

Suzie Quatro on bass

[@VinE83656]

She is a fan of Suzi Quatro. BTW, if you're not familiar with them, they both play guitar and bass and swap for various different songs.

[@mikepierson9944]

what happened to the little sister on drums

[@bobbysmela3942]

I believe she is getting her education right now. I do hope she comes back though, the 3 of them together are fantastic. Love them.

[@orcaflotta7867]

Where's drummer girl?

[@VinE83656]

She left the band to further her education.

[@orcaflotta7867]

@@VinE83656 That's not the proper Rock'n'Roll mindset. :o

[@VinE83656]

@@orcaflotta7867 She was very young when she joined the band. So, maybe now she wants the college life and who knows, maybe she will miss being on stage.

[@faithinverity8523]

Where’s Mamie?

[@joelmorris8368]

She left the band to focus on her education

[@faithinverity8523]

@@joelmorris8368 Smart

[@joelmorris8368]

Yes she's still young, she's got plenty of time for music

[@estivalsyves7591]

your music is clean. You show that with a good guitar, bass and drums you can play good old rock with talent. Stay just as sober in your choreographies, don't try to adopt an attitude.

[@orcaflotta7867]

Nobody likes a smart aleck. :|

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Who asked you?

[@yascanzi3380]

Why haven't they had the success of the Maneskin yet?

[@VinE83656]

They have not had the exposure that Maneskin has had. Maneskin won Eurovision. Dea Matrona is still making their name doing festivals and touring Europe last year, the UK this and next month and their own Irish tour last year. They just did a festival in France and another in the Netherlands. Spotify featured them in the cover of a Playlist just this week.

[@bobcook599]

Stop banging your heads together! :)

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Why?

[@fritzfritz1999]

Nicht schlecht ihr girls, aber die Original Version von CREAM ist unerreichbar! 🤗🐋💜

[@erswnn]

I wonder what Ginger Baker would be saying? Great song, good stage presence from the guitars...and the musicians nail the sex appeal part... but the drums...... No idea of his skills but that song needs more than a time keeper. No fills, no nuance. Not going to comment on skills, he may be very good but still, needs a little something still..

[@markweiner4430]

Geezz... Does the name Karen Carpenter sound familiar? Please eat something! PS. What happened to your first drummer?

[@VinE83656]

I believe the singer is vegan so she probably does not gain a lot of weight without meat. The first drummer left in February 2022 to go to University and pursue interests outside of music.

[@geraldcrook9504]

Good sound just need a singer

[@panicandfreakout-]

dig em' but not sure of all the crawling around on the floor, they should just light it on fire like Jimi did:D
