Glenn Hughes had left and returned and left again, years earlier. Dave Holland was settling in as drummer for Judas Priest. A new singer had been added to invigorate the band's sound. And a drummer who knew the Trapeze library had been found. In this form, Trapeze took the stage in Austin, Texas in May 1981 and recorded what would be the group's last album, "Live In Texas -- Dead Armadillos."On the opening track, "Back Street Love" from the 1974 "Hot Wire" album, Galley's guitar work is peppy, and it heats up as the songs progress. His solo on "Midnight Flyer," also from "Hot Wire," stays fairly true to the studio version, with a bit of added energy. Galley keeps the momentum going with crisp, quick bursts on "You Are The Music" and "Way Back To The Bone," both pulled from 1972's "You Are The Music ... We're Just The Band."Singer/guitarist Pete Goalby does most of the lead vocals during this performance, respectably handling lines sung originally by Hughes or Galley. "Hold On," the title track from a 1979 Trapeze record, does give Goalby a chance to sing one for Austin that he also did in the studio. He lacks Hughes' range and dynamic sound but still manages a solid version of "Black Cloud," the only song here drawn from Trapeze's "Medusa" album. Trapeze did 8 albums from 1970 to 1981. Later reunions added 3 more releases. A band with many outstanding members who are more remembered for playing in other bands
