| - Let me preface this review by noting this show also had the added talents of the band WAR, which are best known for Why Can't We Be Friends and Low Rider.
When I was offerred tickets yesterday to see George Wallace Presents WAR, I was apprehensive at first. The band is a bit beyond my time, but after reviewing the many hits they had plus getting a chance to see George Wallace perform, this was not a show I wanted to miss.
Like Susan R., who I met for the first time and sat with at last night's show, I too had seen George Wallace at the Danny Gans benefit show a few months ago. George covered many topics including politics, idiot sayings and Vegas locals.
Unfortunately for me, this was much of what he brought up last night, as well. His 30 minute standup at Danny Gans was the same here with a few additions. Susan noted to me that he was constantly bringing up "tomorrow's show" and what he'd talk about then. He was very funny and entertaining, but I too found it annoying to listen to advertisements for something I probably won't be able to afford to attend.
War was an excellent addition to Mr. Wallace's show, bringing their 60's-70's funk to the stage and playing about a 5-6 song set of their hits. They jammed through these songs, however, taking about an hour to play the songs. With the combination of comedy and music, the $75 ticket value is well worth it.
