Very consistent with shows recently posted on You Tube. Great array of hits. Technical difficulties with Niles' amp early on delayed the show a little, but no worries.

Good Times! The Nile Rogers and Chic show is incredible. Not only did they play all of the greatest hits that CHIC are famous for, but they also played a wide selection of songs that Nile wrote and/or played on. Some of these hits include Madona's Like a Virgin, Bowie's Let's Dance, Daft Punk Get Lucky, Diana Ross Upside down (which is also the music track for "Mo Money" by Biggie, etc., etc. and the band is a collection of the BEST musicians on the planet. If you want to go to a performance that makes you MOVE, try to catch this show!

Last Thursday evening I took in a show billed as The Night of Proms . The nice 2 level theater with great sound and sight lines was almost at the 6000 capacity thanks to many comp d tickets and generous ½ price deals leading up to the show. I, like many, got my tickets for free. I didn t really have a grasp of what the evening was to entail otherwise I might have passed on the show even though it was free . I thought it was being advertised as Night of Proms because of the four groups in the line-up: The Pointer Sisters, Nile Rodgers, Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald. You know, older groups, maybe prom type music in the 70 s and 80 s. Wow, was I WRONG! I had heard there was an orchestra but it still didn t click. Later I would find out that Night of Proms is an Orchestra, Choir and Opera show that has been in Europe for some time and they will feature rock and pop acts. This is its first time to America. I think it originated in Belgium. The show was almost 4 hours long about and only about an hour of it were the four acts I went there to see. Basically it was classical music and some opera for 30 minutes then you got 15 minutes of one of the rock/pop artist. Sure everything sounded good, a great light show, they tried to incorporate some humor with the opera but overall IT WAS A BREAT DOWN! There was a host sort of a Lawrence Welk kind a guy who talked between most of the songs. The classical music they was more well know sopngs. I had heard much of it before, and they played whatever the song is that Iron Maiden used as the intro on the Brave New World tour. That was cool. However if it hadn t been for that fact that I had never seen any of the 4 acts and it was a 40 minute from my home drive I would left!! The best part of the evening was seeing McDonald and Loggins duet on This is it and What a fool believes , I don t how often you get you to see that. When the Pointer Sisters hit the stage(40 minutes into the show) they exploded with some much needed energy. They looked good and sounded good. 30-40 minutes later Kenny Loggins played. This guy is still stick thin and very youthful despite being in his 60 s. I didn t know his 1st song; he did a lame sing a long on the 2nd song. His last 3 songs were good. At some point in the 2nd Act Nile Rodgers finally played. I love all his old disco and funk music, but he only got to play 3 songs. He did get the place on its feet. There was some guy that wrote and played for Tina Turner he did a few songs even a good version of Queen s Bohemian Rhapsody. Then another 30-40 minutes went by and Michael McDonald played. He was really over weight and bloated. He still has that distinctive voice but he seemed to be struggling in the short time he was on stage. At the end everyone came out on stage and played We are family . Very quality performers but it just wasn t my thing. Of course many shows might have been a let-down after seeing Boston the night before. Night of Proms Set list Pointer Sisters: Fire I m so exited Neutron dance Jump (for my love) Kenny Loggins: Conviction of the heart Celebrate me home This is it Danger zone Footloose Nile Rodgers: I want your love Le Freak Good times Michel McDonald: Yah mo b there Sweet freedom On my own What a fool believes I keep forgettin every time you re near
