| - ALL I GOTTA SAY IS, WOW!
I saw a billboard about this and thought it would probably be cool to watch these guys do covers on some of the best rock n roll songs ever made! What I discovered was that these guys can play AND sing the crap out of any song they perform!
This is not your typical song and dance type of show. They actually incorporate a story in which how rock n roll got started and how it came to be. The narration by the actors gives it flavor and you cant help but laugh at the roles they portray because that really happened!
For those that grew up in the 60's and had their kids listen all through out to the 80's, all the songs they play are monster hits from Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and the doors, to Queen just to name a few. Heck, from what I observed, the audience that was in attendance was a mix of young and old. I guess the common theme here is that no matter what your age, its always good to appreciate good music.
As for the sound, lighting, and overall production of the show, man it was awesome! I really didnt expect it to be 2 hours long but since these guys sang and played so good, honestly we could of been for there for 4!
At the end, I found out that these guys were all former band members from prominent bands like Asia, Quiet Riot, Heart, and Survivor just to name a few. That explains why they were all so professional in their performances. Also they have special guest appearances from other former band members. For this show it was one of the lead singers from Toto. Forgive me for not conveying any names because honestly, I dont know any of them. I do recognize some of the band names and know that they are very good at what they do.
Since there are so many good rock songs since the 60's, they could only play so many of them. They made sure to play the best songs from some of the best bands and there are too many to mention. They even tried to play snippets just to get more songs in.
I for one would definitely watch this again. Anybody that likes music at all will definitley appreciate what these guys do. You can tell these guys have the passion and the love for their craft and it shows in their performance.
