On July 1, 2019, the iconic Auditorium Stravinski stage at the Montreux Jazz Festival was electrified by the sheer force of Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators. This performance was a key stop on their extensive 'Living the Dream Tour,' which supported their 2018 album of the same name and saw the band play over 100 shows worldwide. The synergy between Slash's legendary, top-hatted silhouette and Myles Kennedy's powerhouse vocals created an unforgettable night of pure rock and roll.
Backed by the formidable rhythm section of Todd Kerns on bass and Brent Fitz on drums, along with Frank Sidoris on rhythm guitar, the band delivered a blistering set. The setlist was a masterclass in modern rock, blending new anthems like "The Call of the Wild" and "Driving Rain" with established fan favorites such as "Halo" and "Anastasia." A highlight for many was the inclusion of the Guns N' Roses classic "Nightrain," which sent a wave of energy through the packed auditorium. This concert was a testament to the band's tight chemistry and their status as one of the most consistent and thrilling live acts in rock music today.
