Great Show, but....
by Big50Shooter on 3/5/13Michigan Theatre - Ann ArborIf you like old-school blues and LOTS of excellent hamonica playing then this show is for you! Kim Wilson is a MASTER at the harp and during the encore when he was on the stage playing and singing all by himself, he was actually playing rythm and harmony on the harp at THE SAME TIME! Literally, BOTH ends of the instrument at the same time! Awesome... He's also a decent blues singer in his own right... James Cotton could barely be understood when he spoke, but the man also can still "let 'er rip" when it comes to harmonica.. He was REALLY getting into the crowd too, you could tell he was having fun... Now, the drawbacks... From the billing, I thought there would be more than one "band" playing during the show, and even though the guest guitar/harp players WERE excellent, I was hoping to get a flavor for some other musicians as well... Also, my daughter and I were really looking forward to seeing Big Head Todd, who was ALSO on the billing, but they were nowhere to be found... While the sound wasn't perfect in the old theatre, from where we were in the balcony, I didn't have too many complaints on that.... The house WAS "jammin'"... Great sized venue for an event like this one! Overall, I WOULD recommend this show! My 11 year old daughter and I had a GREAT daddy-daughter date night (She LOVES the blues/classic rock/Zeppelin; am I good at raising kids or what?)...
