"Stage 1 gets our interest as we live the delights of our youth, or even our parents youth, as John Coghlan's Quo take to the stage. The eponymous Coghlan, long time drummer for the denimed giants, has put together a 4 piece that brings a raft of Quo classics back to enjoy again. Opening with 'Caroline', the band play some near note perfect renditions of 'Roll Over Lay Down', '(April), Spring Summer and Wednesdays', 'Break The Rules' and 'Paper Plane' as well as the original 'Pictures Of Matchstick Men' which is 50 years old this year. Emerging from behind his drumkit, Coghlan addresses the raptured crowd and remembers the much missed Rick Parfitt with a heartfelt round of applause from the audience. And in his memory they played the festival defining 'Rain' before raising the bar again with 'Big Fat Mumma', 'Rocking All Over the World' and closer 'Down Down'. Great songs that I defy anybody not to "shake it all about" to." Read the whole of Mother's Hard Rock Hell 12 Day Three review here plus check out John Bull's complete Photo Gallery here.

Anyway, check out today's Video Of The Day, filmed earlier this month in Switzerland on the European leg of Ben's tour.

"‘Broken Hearted Melody’ from ‘Plucking Good’ greeted us with intense and chilling bottle neck slide guitar from Webb that cut straight down deep into our souls. Played with fountains of emotional intensity, and sang with much painful yearning and vulnerability! Magnificent stuff! The stellar ‘Tell Me', from the 1969 album ‘OK Ken’, originally written by Chester Arthur Burnett (better known as Howlin' Wolf) in 1960, showcased Webb's amazing vibrato vocals to great effect. The longing in his voice was emoted to perfection, truly awe-inspiring!" Read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's Stan Webb's Chicken Shack London Half Moon, Putney, review from the end of October here plus check out today's Track Of The Day.

"Opening with 'Thunderbolt', the band seamlessly wove their fabric of awesomeness. Then a setlist including 'Sacrifice', 'Nosferatu', classics like 'Motorcycle Man' and 'Strong Arm Of The Law', got the crowd jumping and pumping. They also paid tribute to Lemmy and co, who greatly supported them in their early years, by playing their Motorhead tribute track "Rock And Roll'. The well received track resulted in a member of the crowd pitching his denim waistcoat, adorned with Motorhead patches, onto the stage. Frontman Biff picks it up, don's it over his trademark trenchcoat, and precedes to sing 'And The Bands Played On' and 'Crusader' adorned in it. A remarkable touch from Biff was the trouble he took to sign the waistcoat before returning it to the delighted owner. Class act."

A modern Rock and Roll band, who are all about creating arena-sized anthems, super-sized hooks and layering wailing vocals over it all. That's the rapidly rising Greta Van Fleet (Video Of The Day) who play the second of their three sold out O2 Forum gigs in Kentish Town, London tonight. Rejuvenating the genres that influenced them so much, they’re a band leading the way for a new generation of Rock stars. Three are brothers, two of them are twins, and one a best friend, all from the idyllic Michigan village of Frankenmuth (population 5,000)! Greta Van Fleet's influences are varied, mainly rooted in their parents' vast vinyl collection that includes Led Zeppelin amongst others!

As well as HRH 12 and Focus, there are a number of other gigs taking place this weekend including Sari Schorr supporting the Nimmo Brothers at a sold out Hammersmith Club in London tonight, Bad Touch (Track Of The Day) headlining London's ULU Live tonight supported by Aaron Buchanan & The Cult Classsics plus Daxx & Roxanne and finally The Bude Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival continues with Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado and Wishbone Ash headlining tonight and tomorrow respectively!

"Lyytinen then teased us with a mouthwatering Mississippi Delta Blues medley. "Would you like some Muddy Waters? Robert Johnson? How about this girl from Finland?" Of course the answer was a unanimous yes as Erja mesmerised us once again with her side prowess before asking "Are you ready?" as she rounded off her superb set off with the unusual time signature of the head banging 'Rocking Chair' - another from 'Stolen Hearts' - essentially a true Blues track with trademark in yer face slide guitar plus a nice grooving riff and vocal that made way for both a fantastic Laitinen drum solo and Back bass solo. Before finishing off the night with an excellent encore/cover of Hendrix's 'Crosstown Traffic', Erja deservedly gave a plug for her forthcoming album, mentioning Mr. Landreth of course! Well why not?" Read the whole of AJ's Erja Lyytinen London Borderline review from Tuesday here plus check out both today's Video Of The Day and our Photo Gallery here. And if you missed Tuesday's gig - you might be lucky and snap up a last minute ticket to see Erja supporting Focus at London's iconic 100 Club tonight.

"The penultimate, and for me, the most eagerly anticipated band is Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. Mr. C., once of Motorhead for over 30 years, has put together a band including his three sons, Tyla, Dane and Todd who play some kick bottom Rock and Roll. Whilst having their own distinct sound, they are made from the same straight up Heavy Rock and Roll material of the aforementioned Motorhead. With an hour long set, the playlist was a well balanced mix of their own material and Motorhead classic covers. When we saw them a few years ago they had limited material of their own but following the release of their album 'The Age Of Absurdity', they have some really strong material. 'Freak Show' and "Get On Your Knees' being good examples. But it was covers of classics like 'R.A.M.O.N.E.S', 'Ace Of Spades' and 'Silver Machine' (dedicated by Phil to all past Motorhead heroes sadly no longer with us) that got the crowd properly pumped up. Finishing with a cover of 'Bomber', they boys show that they have evolved into a class act that deserves to be headliners at any festival."

Day Three continues today - including visceral Canadian rockers The Wild! who are on stage at midnight tonight.
