Title: 10k plus at the show, no one else here went to Styx et al?
Post by: Sir HC on June 24, 2009, 10:21:49 pm

REO, not my think, got to go quick for them (singer had the Annie Lennox do).

Styx were on, other than the shtick that could have been an extra song, they were great, played classics that I (and my friend who is a HUGE fan) wanted to hear.  No "This is a new song we think you will like", no b.s. songs that no one knows (a la Jackson Browne), they were on.

38 Special, heck I feel embarrassed to say, I liked their set.  Their singer was a git, but they did great songs that I liked on MTV 20+ years ago and did them well.  No extra crap, though they did this medely of 80 crap they didn't do.  Still fun show. 

So, it was a fun time, heard some classics that were a lot of fun (and could not not think of Cartman during Come Sail Away), yeah it was an expensive show, but they did deliver.

As far as classic rock goes, I'd really like to go to the Leppard/Poison/Cheap Trick show, if it wasn't at Nissan P that is.  The new CT CD out this week is really really good

Right there with you. I would go see Leppard/Poison/Cheap Trick show if it was at MPP. But since it is at Nissan, no way.

Was there, and loved it. Even Reo. Could do without all the "We're here to rock you" banter. But the toons were all there.

I remember a while  back there was a guilty musical pleasures thread.  Styx would be on my list for sure.  My kids love it when I rock "Lady" really loud on the stereo.

Keep Pushin' and Golden Country are the only two REO songs I'd care to hear.

Not "Riding The Storm out?".  That was mine.  Still there was something so transcendental to my original MTV time that just made me go "wow".  And I am usually a forward music go-er.
