This is Kostas Nikolaides' return to the stage after 22(!) years of absence, playing a set that mostly featured songs from his, just released, first solo album "Fearful Symmetry", as well as some covers and two Northwind songs, one being the unreleased "Bad Connection" track.
Kostas was the bass player of Northwind, one of the first and best hard rock/metal bands that ever came out of Greece, and also sang on their 1987 masterpiece "Mythology" album, where the song "Iole" comes from.
For this gig, Kostas' backing band was:
Tolis Marinopoulos (of Konan) - drums
Phil DeLao (of Loudias) - guitar
George Paul (of Starbeat) - bass
Diamond Karagian (of Mple) - keyboards

Check out the original version of "Iole" here: • NORTHWIND - MYTHOLOGY ...
"Mythology" was re-released on CD in 2013 on the greek No Remorse label and it quickly sold out all its 500 copies.
P.S. For what it's worth, I really hope that all Northwind members will put aside any differences and bad "luggage" they might have from the past and perform/write together again.
