Going to opening night of the Zombies' 50th ann. Odyssey & Oracle tour tonight in PA....super stoked. Pet Sounds Live by BW last year...now O&O with The Zombies...what a time to be alive.
-
The Zombies were absolutely sensational. Bucket list material. Incredible show. Not exactly another concert, but I'll be seeing "Whose Live Anyway?" at The Lyric here in Baltimore in May...improve show with some of the "Whose Line is it Anyway?" guys...should be great. I've seen Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood twice and look forward to seeing some of the other cast members!

I'm back again
Tonight was Stevie Nicks & The Pretenders except there no Pretenders due to "illness" with absolutely no refunds whatsoever. We were informed of this upon entry, not prior. So the 7pm didn't start until 8:15pm when Stevie Nicks decided to saunter out. She was "okay"...she was on stage two hours...the cumulative total at the end amounted to about one hour of singing and one hour of telling very very very very long stories and changing her various flowy fabrics. I saw her open for Rod Stewart five years ago and it was the same problem, but a much shorter set so it didn't seem so bad. My girlfriend has always wanted to see her so I bit the bullet and got the tickets...we both agreed this would be her first and last time. -
Sorry about your bad experience with Stevie Nicks and the Pretenders. Unfortunately, there are not too many Paul and Bruce's around in believing that the customer deserves the best relative to all the hard earned money they pay. Paul and Bruce came from blue collar families where hard work is taught. I recently saw a Macca tribute band (the McCartney Experience I think they are called) and they were great. My experience with tribute bands (if they are a good one and not the ones you see at Vegas or Atlantic City that cover multiple artists) are very positive and that is where I think you get your best value. The band members are normally much younger where there voices are still at peak. Also they really study the performer they are copying and they have the songs down almost note for note. The great news for the consumer is that the tickets are normally under $30. They also play for a good 2 hours. That is my recommendation for people who don't have a lot of money. I've seen a couple of Beatle tribute (Fab Faux was one) and they were excellent.

Cool! This lineup included Chris White & Hugh Grundy on the second set for O&O. It was a stellar presentation and presented very nicely as well.

Saw The Who the other night in Liverpool,was advertised that theyd be playing Tommy in its entierty so off we went and frankly was a little disappionted to find they couldnt do all of it just a selection of it (which sounded great to be fair,just made it more frustrating),they were good but i'd sort of set my sights on Tommy being played..
-
Well, saw Radiohead this week in KC; ahhh, not a big fan. What a slow, boring, weird sort of rock show. Decided to go at last minute. Sorry, but just didn't get it. What am I missing people???

Catch them in the Netherlands and oftentimes elsewhere ... at least once in Londen - O2 The Analogues sample song:
