Everybody's working for the weekend

What did I expect really?
I mean when Marlene asked I had to do an internet search to remember more than one Loverboy song.
During the first hour of this 90 minute show, I vaguely recognized another song and I got really excited when they were doing some kind of jazz fusion that seemed to be moving into the Doors' "Riders on the Storm". But then it segued into something else. Don't know what.
Of course, how could they compare to the emotion of Jim Morrison?


Riders on the Storm

Loverboy had a few hits, but their lead singer doesn't have a strong voice, and as is often the case with rock bands, the vocabulary is limited. How many times do you need to hear "You're a great audience .... this place is rocking!!" The last half hour got better. You might say I'm showing my age, but I would've preferred a good Doors tribute band.

Everybody's Working for the Weekend

Believe

Atlantic City is trying to be more like Vegas. We saw this show last week and it had just about everything you can want in a place where you don't know what to believe and you don't take anything home (especially your money) - - what happens in Vegas....

The performers were of varying quality. Cher, Liza, Patti LaBelle and Prince were outstanding. Bette so, so. Joan Rivers was probably good, but I don't like Joan Rivers so I had a bias. And, Nancy Sinatra was a waste of time - fortunately only a few minutes. All in all a fun show. My favorite was Patti - she/he rocked the house down.

Please Release Me

Englebert Humperdink had a number 1 hit with this song. We saw him in concert at Foxwoods / MGM and even though he's 75 years old he can still sing!

It was a poignant memory for me though because my aunt Mary used to always play his songs on the juke box at my family's restaurant. She loved those crooners. She was always a super aunt to me. I can still remember going to her house on Sylvia street after school and having "made from scratch" cake - she wouldn't stoop to baking a "mix" from a box. She was justly proud of her baking skills. She's probably still cooking in heaven.

Anyway, the concert was fun... we were some of the young uns there.
Hey -- getting older but still feeling young.
