Old Time Rock-n-Roll

I saw .38 Special, REO Speedwagon, and Styx this past Friday night (7/3). Let me tell you......THAT is what Rock-N-Roll is all about. Of course, in my opinion. LOL

I've been noticing a lot of the 'new' music that comes out, from the American Idols, or the such, is the lack of MUSIC. It sounds to me like some canned, pre-recorded track for these "stars" to sing to. Whatever happened to the music aspect of it? When songs had :37 intros because it was a good SONG. Whatever happened to 'bridges' of songs? Guitar solos? Drum solos? Maybe I'm just getting old. What I do know is....STYX ROCKED!!!!!

Speedwagon was great as always, and .38 Special warmed up the crowd wonderfully.

One more quick note......pet peeve rather......but if you have an assigned seat at a concert.....SIT THERE!!!! One of my co-workers sat next to us at the show, and in between Speedwagon and Styx, they went for a walk. I had to tell 4 different people the seats were taken. People who did NOT have those seats were trying to sit there. People were constantly trying to sit in the luxury boxes when NO ONE had tickets for there. Kudos to the Live Nation security for bouncing the 100 and some seat jumpers.
All-in-all.....great stage prescence from all three. Great sound from all three. Great show all around!!!! ROCK-N-ROLL!!!!!!!!
