The Makeover

We were not disappointed by this hilarious show! From start to finish they had us rolling with laughter. Chong's wife Shelbie opened the show with her free-style of crude, yet sassy humor. It was done in a very tasteful way that kept you guessing who she was referencing and exactly how far she was going to take the joke. Whether she wrote her own material or not, it was hilarious and fantastic to witness. We were highly impressed, no pun intended! Then, of course, Cheech and Chong come on stage, and the laughter train picked up speed beyond measure! From classic jokes from their movies like "Up In Smoke" to their musical stylings from past shows and movie appearances, they kept us laughing up a storm throughout the entire evening!!! We laughed so much that we were literally crying, and I feel like I got an ab and side workout along the way too. We were delighted to catch this duo in action, and you will not be disappointed, that's a promise!!! Don't miss this possible last in your lifetime show before they're gone! Enjoy yourself, laugh your ass off, and you can thank me later! :D

Gentlemen Hall played to a packed, hometown crowd after spending the summer recording their new album in NYC! Clifflight who is also a Boston based band opened for them to the delight of the crowd. They rocked! The place was packed as Hentlemen Hall took the stage just after midnight. Their set was alive and rocking with many new songs intertwined with old favorites. They rocked so hard you could actually feel the floor jumping under your feet. Watch for their new song Kings, their first single, sure to be out soon along with their ep sometime before the new year! These guys are not only a great band but also really cool down to earth guys that love their fans! If you ever have an opportunity to see them live, do it!

I can't believe this band doesn't have any reviews on ticketmaster, so I feel compelled to give my two cents. I saw them last night in Philadelphia at Johnny Brenda's... and as the review title states, Holy Sh*t. We paid $10 to see them... I would pay $100. In fact, I feel like I owe them money for how sick their live show is. I feel embarrassed that I paid so little for what was truly one of the best shows I've ever heard. It was a small venue, and on a Sunday, so it was a little low key and not as crowded as it could have been, but holy hell they shook the rafters and gave us one hell of a show. I've been a fan for probably around a year or so, and was just looking forward to seeing them live and hopefully picking up their full length album before it hits itunes in a week. I went with a few girlfriends for a night out, we sat up on the balcony tucked into a corner with some beers and we left stunned. I did not expect to walk away feeling like God punched me in the gut. I enjoyed them before last night. I LOVE them now. These guys have to get bigger. I will be shocked if they don't become one of the biggest bands to come out of the states in the next couple of years playing huge venues. They have ruined their own CD for me. I listen to it, and now I'm frustrated, because I know what it sounds like live, and I want that every time I listen to it. The did a cover of the Cranberrie's song "Zombie" and ruined that for me too. I love it more than the original. What the hell guys! Dear Mona - you have made me a loyal fan forever. Where you go, I will follow. I cannot wait until you come back to Philly again! Dear Nick Brown - sorry about the cougar in the pit, she was kinda feisty lol. You have one of best voices... thank you SO much for giving us more than 100% despite the smallish crowd. Also - the opening acts were ridiculous good too! I picked up their music as well. An all around knockout night. I'm an almost 30 yr old female who goes to about 10-15 shows a year, so when I say it was unbelievable, I say it because I truly mean it since I spend a lot of money to hear music live.

It was without a doubt the most amazing, intimate show I've ever been to. We (the fans) surrounded the band and was very interactive. The group I was in was actually sitting on the stage while Paradise Fears was situated in the pit. Sam literally looked everyone in the eye at least once - me quite a few times :) Both bands joked around with the crowd and gave the impression that this wasn't a concert but just a whole lot of people getting together to sing songs and laugh. I truly hope that PF does more of these shows.

We so loved this concert. Jay Siegel from the Tokens talked to the audience in addition to giving us so much wonderful music and Jimmy Clanton came out in the audience and sang to my friend. Charlie Thomas's Drifters were in top form also and once again he and the other groups talked to the audience which just doesn't happen in the larger venues in Pittsburgh. Just a fantastic experience!

Having seen the JaneDear Girls on CMA Awards, as well as a NBC special, I was expecting the group to be more Country/Western in their style. However, they proved to be equally influenced by 1980s poprock radio as well. This Rock n' Roll influence was evident early on and was later reinforced with a medley of popular rock tunes featuring Queen and others. Pat Benatar's "Hit Me with your Best Shot" was played in its entirety. The two young ladies fronting JaneDear proved to be talented multi-instrumentalists as well as vocalists. Their supporting band was equally talented and possessed a natural good-times flair onstage. Afterward, the young ladies autographed merchandise for the fans, and did so in a manner that seemed relaxed and genuine in their appreciation for those who ventured out to this concert.

My five year old granddaughter and I had front row seats at the Saturday matinee. Best seats in the house for one of the finest shows ever for children! Front row is best, whether for a five or 66-year old!

Ignorant had a chick filling in for the Eve Libertine role, and she was really good: she had a lot of lyrics to spit out, and she did it with conviction. The crowd seemed to accept her very well. Ignorant himself did very well of course, and the band was good--they played all the songs you'd want them to play, including my Ignorant favorites like "Do They Owe Us A Living," "So What," and "Big A Little A." The opening band was Goldblade, a Manchester street punk band fronted by a wanna-be rock star. "Do you believe in rock 'n roll?" over and over and over again! The high point was when they did "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" in honor of the recently passed Poly Styrene. The venue is nice. I would've given the show five stars, except the opening band was mediocre at best.

The golf tournament was fun to watch up close. These guys are good!! Saw two holes in one in a 1/2 hour on the 4th hole. They make it look easy!! Doral is a beautiful resort and the Blue Monster course is tough! Water every place! If u are not a big hitter 280 yards or more it's going to b a long day!! Santana concert at night was amazing as always!! He is one of the ultimate guitar players along with Hendrix and Slash and Eddie Van Halen!! He can make that guitar talk!! Second time I've seen him in concert!! Excellent as usual!! Nice bonus was that my Saturday golf ticket and concert ticket was upgraded for Sunday's final round for free!! I received an email at 4:15 saying to just bring my ticket from Saturday to the front gate Sunday and they will give u a general grounds ticket to Sunday's final round free!!

Our home town theater seats about 1300 but there was so much energy that it felt like a large arena. From the opening song, Hamilton was clearly enjoying the evening and it was infectious. And Hamilton has put together a band that's second to none. There's a whole lot more than just notes flowing from Fabian Hernandez' sax when blows. If you don't get goosebumps, you ain't listenin'. Armando and Dante command a constant toe tap that moves up the legs and then throughout. And they surprise during their encore by doing something no one would think possible.
