I went to the Buddy Holly Center to watch the band Air Supply. Lubbock was the 1st stop on their 50th anniversary tour. I've loved their music for all those years. Basically, they are geezers, like me.
I've seen them 2x before...once at the Orleans in Vegas in 2015 & then at the local fair in maybe 2018. They put on a good show.
Neither of their voices are what they used to be but I'd hate to admit what I've lost as I've gotten older. Falsetto guy Russell still sounds good but partner Graham has lost most of his voice. However, G plays a mean guitar.
They also had a young band behind them...one particular guitar player played "tortured" like he was in a hard rock band instead of a geezer band. It was humorous.
Russell had overdone the hair dye & the make up & was dressed in plain shirt, leather pants with studs & tassels & black shoes (or boots...couldn't tell) with rhinestones. Graham looked normal.
My favorite song is 'Two Less Lonely People' ...because I relate to it:
I was down, my dreams were wearin' thin
When you're lost, where do you begin?
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love that never came my way
