Music keeps me young and energized! I don't know where I would be without it!
I'm the best person to go to a concert with and the worst!
I live in the moment at each concert I attend...take it all in.....enjoy it to the fullest. My short term memory, on the other hand, hinders my concert experience.
We can be on the 3rd song and though I danced and sang to the opening song, for the life of me, I can't remember its name! Doesn't mean I am not enjoying myself, just means my memory is shot!
I take pride in knowing a little bit about music and when I go to a concert, I am immediately drawn to one of the band members and watch them all night. I close my eyes and see if the group sounds just as good live as on their recordings. And, I just love listening to the harmonizing and backup singing. A good group has perfect harmonies, complementary back up music.
Enter: Heart and Journey! Cheap Trick was pretty darn good too...but Ann and Nancy Wilson are always spot on. God gave Ann a strong set of pipes! Journey is one of the tightest groups around. Neal Schon is a genius and a crazy guitarist! Jonathan Cain is my man in this band. He's part of a great collaborative team, keyboards, guitar, harmonica and vocalist. When I think of Journey, I think of phenomenal keyboards and Jonathan Cain never lets us down!
(Cheap Trick)
The night was great (except for the little usher man that would not let us take any pictures! The website said cameras ARE welcome --small, disposable and digital but he reprimanded me and from there I just acquiesced and enjoyed the sweet sounds!).....
Just 5 guys --2 guitarists, keyboards, drummer and vocalist --that really pack a powerful punch! They rocked. They were on the money and never let up. Their new stuff is tremendous. Can't wait to get 'Revelation' and jam to 'After all these years!'
There is absolutely nothing like listening to your favorite songs performed LIVE by the original band mates (most of them) under a beautiful starlit night! Pinch me!!!!
