Burton has just recently started to perform Dream of a Child again in concert. It's so wonderful to hear that one live even if he didn't write it. It "sounds" like a song that he would have written.
Most of the time he tours with a band out of Toronto called the Carpet Frogs, very tight sound. Their sound is spot on. He's also started to add a few solo shows to his schedule, just Burton and the piano.
Blackhawkpat, I was at that show at the Arcada in St. Charles in September, Burton with the Zombies. Fantastic venue and what a great night of music! Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent still have it and the crowd was very enthusiastic.
Would have been a great place to have Charlemagne on the setlist. I took a few pictures of the "Legend of Charlemagne" fox statues on the bridge over the Fox River.
Yes Marvin, you are absolutely right, Kurt Winter and Randy Bachman made huge contributions to many of those songs that the Guess Who are so fondly remembered for. Just an outstanding string of unforgettable music.
Burton has had a videographer, Lillian Sarafian, capturing concerts, rehearsals and backstage moments for many years now. They've been working on putting some of it together on a series of dvds called "RUFF". The first volume is in the finishing stages and should be released before Christmas. It should be interesting.
