Black Midi. visually stunning and the lyric is for me compelling . Great morning song. Hot times upcoming in BFLO city. 💃 I like it but the complexity is given me a szuzh.....that means brainfog a bit confusing. Live show YES I would attend this. I do not know Asbury Hall though.

My memory tells me that it has 2 separate areas. One bigger and one smaller. Cults and Guards played the smaller. I do know Ani DiFranco. I appreciate the links Gracias! YEP.The smaller venue is called the 9th ward. I was there only once but we had a great time. Wing boxes galore back stage lol. Even the vegetarian drummer decided he had to eat at least one. hahahaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw Chicago last night. Technically, they are really great musicians. Horn line is smokin’! Drummer is dang good. Original singer, Robert Lamm still has a great voice but isn’t in the show much, kinda stands in back and plays keyboards. The songs he sings though he does a fantastic job. My biggest complaints? The lead guitarist is good, but outplays the music. Chicago music isn’t about thrashing solos. Lastly, the lead singer is decent, can hit the Peter Cetera notes well enough, but doesn’t have the vocal range when singing subtly. He lives more in the higher pitch. A really good show, but honestly wouldn’t see them again. Glad I had the chance to see them finally. Glad to see Lamm is back! As far as the guitar goes, I get what you’re saying m, but in fairness, in 25 or 6 to 4, the guitarist solos through 90% of the song, lol. Glad you got to scratch one off of your bucket list! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of good guitar work through the years for sure. I guess I shouldn’t expect to hear albums perfect solos. Problem was the guy was a bit too much at time. TBH, the acoustics at Turningstone are terrible. Could be we sat to the left of rhe stage, about 1/2 way down. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Just got back from Billy Idol at Fallsview Casino on the newer stage. All I can say is wow! Such a great venue and acoustics/sound system is top notch. Billy was absolutely fantastic! Still has a great voice and tons of energy. Not running around but very active. Still hits the higher notes, voice is still great. Steve Stevens his guitarist..I guess I never really paid him much attention to him in the day, but holy shnickes the dude can freaking play! Amazing guitar work and was impeccable. The opening act of Kelsey Karter was limited to her signing and her bassist playing lead guitar, and that is all they had. Remainder of band couldn’t get over the border. All I can say is she has an amazing voice! Did Joplins Mercedes Benz and absolutely slayed it. Then did Hearts “Alone” with Steven’s on guitar which was simply amazing. Fantastic show. If y’all get a chance to see him, do so. At the very least, check his shows out on YouTube. I hope Karters “Alone” with Steven’s ends up on YouTube also. Only drawback is they allowed standing in front of the stage a few people deep which caused the ripple effect of everyone standing in their seats. Kinda hate that.

I was a huge Billy Idol fan throughout middle and high school in the 80s. Got to see him in ‘87 with the Cult opening for him. Dream show for me and it was amazing. Glad to see that he’s still rockin’ and LOVE that Steve Stevens is still with him!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandson loves the Beatles, so this will be a treat for him. I am an avid Beatles fan. Always. Even a Macca guy and I was lucky enough to see him close to a decade ago. I love Ringo the Beatle, but I’ve never been able to embrace his solo stuff. I know that his ASB experience is much more than just his music. I would love to see him, primarily to be able to say I’ve seen two Beatles. But with ticket prices these days, it’s still a hard sell for me. Either way, I love that your grandson is going to see Ringo and I’m sure it will be a memory to enjoy for a lifetime!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
