The Dixie Cups Tickets

They were great. However, we bought a CD from them and the Quality was very poor. Could barely here their voices.

Last Sunday I continued with what is becoming sort of a regular thing. My daughter and I headed off to the casino show room for a Sunday afternoon show and then used some of my free rooms to spend the night. They book in older acts for 3pm shows charge low prices, so it’s a good value. This time we saw The Coasters, Drifters and Dixie Cups. $10 tickets and we were able to move to 5th row, not a bad deal! The Dixie Cups are best known for their hits “Chapel of Love” and “Iko Iko”. They opened the show with a 20 minute set that included these songs a couple of other and they finished up with God bless America and When the Saint Go Marching In. These ladies are in their 70’s I think, but 2 of the 3 are still original members so I thought that was cool. The harmonized well and they were better than I expected. 20 minutes was appropriate and just enough. This was my 5th time to see a “version” of the Drifters. It’s really more of a tribute band, or better yet a “franchise”. I was in Vegas once and there were 3 different versions of the Drifters playing in town at the same time. I saw 2 of them-ha! There have been as many as 7 different versions worldwide. As long as you do not expect any original members and you what you are getting its fine. These guys were entertaining. They ran through most of the hits. (save the last dance for me, this magic moment, up on a roof, under the boardwalk, broadway, there goes my baby) they though a cover of what a wonderful world. I guess they played 40 minutes. The Coasters closed out the show. There are 2 or 3 version of the band as well. No originals that I know of are in any of the versions. Thye often bicker as to whom has the real rights to the name, with one version posting the judge’s decision on their website. Yet these guys still put on high energy show with a lot dancing and audience interaction. I actually like more of the Drifters material but the right band headlined. Yakety yak, Charlie Brown, Poison Ivy were the biggest hits but they also included some covers such as Love Potion Number 9 and Shake Rattle and Roll. A 45-50 minutes set that was just right for what they had. My daughter and I danced and sang along with many of the songs and had a very good time. After the show was over we got to meet the Dixie Cups and Coasters and got autographs. Then we had dinner and watched Disney dvds in the free hotel room. The hotel they have is very nice. A good reason to take Monday off! Even got a free breakfast at their Paris Café The Winstar casino has a very nice show room. It also has an entrance right by the show room so we can walk right in with having to through much of the casino. I am planning on taking her to see an Elvis impersonator this summer.
