Thank you for posting!!! The weather was beautiful and the line up was spectacular!! So excited for the meet and greet. Mike is truly a gifted musician and kind soul!!!💛🎶🤘🏼
Electronic drum set.. ok. lol. I thought the drums sounded not natural at first listen. Lead guitarist is pretty damn good. Looks like Joe Perry/Kane Roberts with the gray streak, lol. Dude plays great!! NAILED the WAIT solo! Great vocals/harmonies. The drums though... wish they were acoustic drums... but i get it for the ease of in and out. Rock on!!!
It was smart using electronics for the drums. It’s the only way to the match the original studio sounds. Geoff Tate did the same thing on his last tour. It makes a huge difference. Well done.
I'm glad you shared this with us. I love White Lion but this isn't White Lion. Mike has lost his power and turned those amazing songs into a bad karaoke band version. The songs are barely recognizable to the original. And I can't believe he said he was going to do something stupid like meeting his fans and signing autographs and taking pictures with them. What a complete slap in the fans face. I'm glad I know that I don't want to waste my money on seeing this version of Mike Tramp's karaoke white lion tribute. No wonder Vito won't play with him. His ego is still huge and he obviously thinks spending time with fans is stupid....a direct quote from him in this video.
What are you talking about?? He never said that this is White Lion. Listen to any recent interview he has done lately. We don't live in 1988 anymore & he can't sound like the younger version of him. He met his fans after the show & took the time to sign autographs & take pictures...all free of charge. Vito doesn't play with anyone anymore as he has been off the grid for 30 years now.
What a stupid comment . Get a clue man this is his life’s work , he has every right to play these songs as Vito who obviously has been gone for 30 years! Get over it people lol
What are you talking about? The guy has zero ego. Have you met him? He loves music and has every right to play the songs HE sang years ago (and wrote in many cases, including When the Children Cry)…you’re part of the problem with this negativity. Go back to your hole.
No matter how good the respective artist might still be, the whole "Name of person -apostrophe S, followed by name of once-notable band" just makes me kind of sad for some reason.. In a parallel universe, I'm sure real live rock music still sold in the millions, and never got sidelined by modern autotune production and people still flocked to arenas to hear real people play live and raw. Or maybe I'm just a grumpy old Gen-X er lol. This sounds pretty good actually. "Tell Me" , "Little Fighter" and some of the other classics, has kinda vague Springsteen vibes, played in a lower tuning here and the way Mike strums a Telecaster. Great lead guitarist too)))
I feel bad for Mike. White Lion failed him. This is actually pretty decent. That's cool they did Lady of the valley. Yeah, its s bit watered down but so are most older bands.
@@MyKingdomForAK9 well....i guess it depends on who is singing Karaoke, but yes I am a vocalist, and i have had people come out of the crowd on my stage and completely kill it!
@@SirZeusor11 Fun❣️ Good point, too, yes, there are diamonds-in-the-rough, out there. (A boss once told me that I was one.😆☺️) Liked this short concert by Mike so much, that I gave it a Like; will listen to it again. ❤️ Hope he tours next autumn, too. 🤞
@@SirZeusor11You could feel the sorrow and anger in Mike Tramp's voice when you listen to All the Fallen Men from the Fight to Survive album. His voice was so powerful and emotional and unique. Here, there's no conviction in his voice and the song is way out of his range.
This is exactly why Vito Bratta doesn't wanna play with him anymore. They had a discussion that he would not name his band White Lion and that's exactly what he's calling it, Mike Tramp's White lLon. It's not White lLon and him and Vito Bratta said that he,Mike would not call the band White Lion and that's exactly what he's calling the band. This is why Vito Bratta doesn't want to perform with him because Mike does not stick to his word or to the agreement they have.
I hope he is still playing in some form or fashion. Even just at home like most of us. He had such a great style and played with such accuracy. Definitely miss his playing.
He doesn't have the vocal range to sing those songs anymore, so why rehash these old songs instead of creating new songs that suit your vocal range? "Fallen Man" sounds horrible, its like some middle-aged dude doing karaoke. Anyway thanx for sharing
Spot on, although the problem is, he has no other skillset, so, he HAS to tour. He is not like you and I who can pick up an instrument, rock out then hit out 9-5 monday through friday. I have met a lot of my former heros.....theres a reason they say never to meet them.
@@SirZeusor11 Fortunately, some of my rock heroes have been a sincere pleasure to meet; Todd Rundgren, and Peter Frampton, for example; shining Rays Of Light. 🌠
Its called nostalgia, people don't care that grew up with these bands, they just want to see their idols when they were teenagers and they now have the cash to do it. All the vocalists from that era sound nothing like they did back then, Tom keifer, Jeff keith, Joe Elliot, Vince Neil, Axel Rose, Bon Jovi David Coverdale ectttt. all of them sound awful if you compare then to their primes and yet some fill stadiums. Mike sounds no worse then any of them. And the important thing is, the crowd is cheering, not booing soooo why shouldn't he play?
This is Don Dokken rough, except Don could really sing fantastically until he wrecked himself smoking and drinking and pushing his 80s range on into the 00's, this guy never could really sing that well tbh, saw them on the Pride tour in Baltimore and Vito was 100% the main draw!
@@MelvinZooperswell you know what they say about opinions 😂, having seen them both in their 80’s heyday, I would take Don over Mike every day …. now both are pretty rough … and that’s being kind.
Don dokken was as generic/vanilla sounding as they come, that is why dokken could never score that double platinum album like Tramp and white lion did! Mike had a unique voice, that you either liked or disliked soon as you heard it, Don was just like ya he's ok no matter who you ask, not great not bad just ok.
The dude on lead is quality..Vito gives him the 👍 up
Correct on both acounts!
Awesome !! And what a good lead guitarist you found Mike.
Wish they would have taken more video of the lead guitarist, he sounded good.
Saw White Lion original lineup years ago when Pride first came out.Good to see he's still outhere touring.
00:00 Out with the Boys
04:50 All the Fallen Men
09:20 Tell Me
14:35 Little Fighter
19:50 When the Children Cry
25:00 Wait
31:15 Lady of the Valley
Thank you Lonley Dwight. I hadn't got to that yet.
Thank you for posting!!! The weather was beautiful and the line up was spectacular!! So excited for the meet and greet. Mike is truly a gifted musician and kind soul!!!💛🎶🤘🏼
We loved that he took the time for autos & pics as well! Class act!
Thank you for sharing🎉

Out with the Boys, det du er Mike og en rigtig god rock sang. I gir den gas 👍 for sat god turné over there 😀 .
Great set
I'll see you today. Great venue
Hope you guys can come up here to either Windsor, London or Toronto Ontario 🇨🇦 Canada 🍁.
I'm wondering if the lead guitarist is Keel's guitar player. Looks like him. Anyone know?
I believe he is German. Am impressed- the whole shift to lower key is a pain in the ass for a guitarist!!!!❤
It was smart using electronics for the drums. It’s the only way to the match the original studio sounds. Geoff Tate did the same thing on his last tour. It makes a huge difference. Well done.
I’ve been watching all Mike Tramps while Lion shows - this one had the weirdest start
I still can’t help hearing the Goo Goo Dolls 😂
Saw White Lion open for AC/DC when they were touring for Pride and For Those About To Rock
Those eras don't mesh.
@@MelvinZoopers OK you are probably right, Im old and not rememering right. Wrong AC/DC tour but whatever it was , White Lion did open for them.
@@MelvinZoopers Maybe it was 1988 for Blow UP YOUR VIDEO? I had to look it up lol
@Boomshakalak67 Very cool. I saw them open for Kiss in '87 & then for Stryper in '88. Great memories!
I hit too hard for electronic drums, but they sound pretty tight

3 steps down???
If that's what it takes.
Is he singing that an octave lower?
Du er ``Òut whth the boys`` og i gør det godt og en rigtig sang med gang i 😏. Forsat god turne 🥴🥴

Before to sounded like a hard rock band.
Now it sounds like a Doom Metal band 😂
😆
I feel bad for Mike. White Lion failed him. This is actually pretty decent. That's cool they did Lady of the valley. Yeah, its s bit watered down but so are most older bands.
How did it fail him?
They didn't fail him. Life got in the way and Bratta did the right thing to help his family. If anything, Mike was the weak link in the band..
@@scottdaughtry6740 how was Mike the weak link? Vocals?
@@jazzcat1056 Nailed it.
@@scottdaughtry6740no he was not the weak link ,there wasn’t one shit happened life happened. And this doesn’t sound bad at all actually pretty good
The songs are hardly identifiable tuned down some much. Completely loses its edge and appeal. Oh well ...we have the albums to crank up!!!!
Drob B down with Slip Knot
Sad ....
Sad that it we no longer live in 1988.
I hate to say this, but these people need a refund. this is atrocious, and sounds WORSE than someone singing karaoke, or the bar band's rendition
Definitely not karaoke.
That's a harsh take; 🙃
don't you agree? 🙂
(I read you're a vocalist; cool. 👍✌️)
@@MyKingdomForAK9 well....i guess it depends on who is singing Karaoke, but yes I am a vocalist, and i have had people come out of the crowd on my stage and completely kill it!

It's not called "White Lion", end of story.
Who is Vito playing with? No one because he doesn't play anymore.
@MelvinZoopers Lets go Dirty Vito 😊..dude gave up playing years ago to care for his folks
I hope he is still playing in some form or fashion. Even just at home like most of us. He had such a great style and played with such accuracy. Definitely miss his playing.
Wow that’s horrible. I would have walked out. Probably the worst I’ve ever heard
Just stop, that is terrible!
No it's not
Horrible
Harsh its balls deep to the asshole..we're going to see the band in February..looking forward to it
He could never sing good anyways

💯❣️
Mike Tramp truly sounds terrific;
hope to catch him next autumn,
if he tours. ❤️

Couldn't disagree more with the Dokken comparison. Don never has impressed me with his vocals.

PS- bro, sell insurance guarantee you be more successful and home every night🇺🇸
Oh man -white lion who? Not even close!!!! Sound is just as bad-MIKE, stop man its over & this is embarrassing
Not "White Lion". He is just giving us a chance to hear the songs again with a new spin. No shame in that.
9:42 tell me you would stop if you were him lol! 63 yrs old and has thousands singing back!
