Yesterday a customer gave us a block of tickets to a concert. I thought it would be boring but it was AWESOME!
It was Lou Gramm (from Foreigner), Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, and John Waite.
First off these guys are OLD.
The youngest one is John Waite and he's 57. The rest of them are all 59 and 60
I missed most of John Waite.
Lou Gramm did two of his solo songs and all the great foreigner songs. He was GREAT, but he moved kindof slow. At the end he put on his 9yr old twins, boy and girl, who sung the "hot blooded" section of that song.
Eddie Money was more of a showman, his performance was good, but he seemed more showy than Lou. His singing was great. Singing backup was his daughter, now 20 who is hot as a firecracker. She was singing the "be my little baby" part that Ronnie Specter used to sing and she was GREAT! She also did a solo and boy can she belt it out! You'll see more of her I bet.
Rick Springfield is an awesome guitarist. But his performance for the crowd was not as good as the others. He must have not realized the geezer crowd was there to sing familiar songs they could sing along with so he sung a bunch of new ones nobody knows and lost the crowd. But Man, Can that guy move around. From a distance you'd think he was a 20 yr old but he's 60!!!! He was jumping all over the place and throwing guitars and all kinds of stuff.
Styx, 38 Special and Reo Speedwagon is next month. I can't wait.
I'm getting so old.
