Live Music Rocks





I've been pretty pumped about this Good Morning Maxfield concert for a week now. Listened to their music online and even watched some Youtube clips. But when I walked into that auditorium tonight, it was entirely different. Live music is better than recorded music.
It was a great show, and they were followed by Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band, whose music I had never heard previously. They were an older band- been on the scene for 12 years now, have had a top 40-hit and put on a show on stage. My goodness. They made an amazing cover of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" inturrupted by some AC/DC and Metallica. Although most of their stuff was borderline country, they put on such a good live show that I actually didn't feel like vomitting. It was actually a straight-up great show I'd reccomend to anyone.

Live music makes the hair on my arms stand up. It can be amazing beyond all beauty. But it can also suck. But that's what you get when you ask rockin' bands like Foreigner and Styx to open for you.
Two more weeks until the Cheap Trick-Heart-Journey show. The anticipation builds.

I agree about the live music. A Hollywood filmed musical ain't nothin compared to live on-stage action. Perhaps this is why we are going to see yet another rendition of Saturday's Warrior on stage in a week and a half.
