Subject: earth wind and fire


it has been years since I've gone to a concert- but last night went with three friends to see earth wind and fire-

had so much fun

a couple of weeks ago I went with my hubby to hear a cover band that played Steely Dan - they sounded exactly like them and I thoroughly enjoyed myself then too.

it made me wonder - is it worth the extra money to go see the real thing?

Do any of you go to concerts still? To smaller clubs with cover bands?

[> Love, love, love live music. Always better than an album. Don't care how old I am I will still go and watch my favourite things live. -- Katiegirl, 22:44:55 10/07/13 Mon [1]

[> I love live music, too! I've been to about 5 arena concerts in the last 5 years, and it is always a blast! But I love smaller venues too. Can't always afford it tho. One of my favorite groups is the jazz band from my kids' high school. They are awesome! -- The Chief, 16:57:32 10/09/13 Wed [1]

[> [> I agree - it's pricey- which is why I wish it were easier to find cover bands- Naked Lunch (what a name!) played for free and I swear if you'd told me they WERE steely dan - i'd have believed you - the guy sounded JUST like him! Just as enjoyable and way more affordable - -- chris k, 12:17:22 10/13/13 Sun [1]

[> I like both bands and it's always great to see the real deal. However, if the real deal is very old, they often lose their sound, so it might just be fun to experience them in a trip down memory lane. I loved Steely Dan, but as you know, Becker and Fagin always used different studio bands, so in a way, it doesn't matter too much. It sounds like you had fun both times, and that's the important thing. -- Cece, 16:17:39 10/14/13 Mon [1]

[> [> Yes, even the best of singers can *lose* their voices with age. Unfortunately, my voice at 39 is not nearly as good as it was at 25. :-( Part of that is lack of practice and part is due to polycystic ovary syndrome, but I digress. It is always interesting to me how a singer can sound so much like another singer. Case in point, the new, young Filipino lead singer for Journey sounds *so much* like Steve Perry it is uncanny. -- JJ Ronda--I agree that a good cover band can be just as fun for much less. And a great way to keep the memory alive for performers who have passed on., 03:26:25 10/16/13 Wed [1]
