Last week, I went to the Buddy Holly Hall to see 2 of my favorite bands from the 70s bands. LRB was on it's 50th anniversary tour & the Dogs have been touring since 1968! There are no original members of course in LRB & 1 original Dog there since the beginning. Both have young energetic bands behind them to keep the music going on & on.
LRB had good voices & they knew all the words to the songs but it was not quite the same. I wonder sometimes why they choose to go with a legendary band name & music catalog instead of doing their own thing. We oldies want to hear the familiar songs of the band. They did a couple of their own songs too but the response was lukewarm because we were there to see LRB.
Three Dog Night's original member Danny Hutton is about 85 & still has a strong voice & his younger back ups were really good. The sound was great, good pace, amazing lighting. I hoped that LRB's lighting guy was paying attention. It was an tight show, like you'd expect from a band that had been performing for 57 years. I'd seen them in Vegas a long time ago & they pretty much sounded the same.
I was almost in the rafters & my eyesight is not great so my sight & my pictures were not great. It was not a cheap show...I'm surprised I forked out that much money for a seat where I couldn't see that well. I mean, look at all those empty floor seats.
But I enjoyed it!!
