Every performer was wonderful in voice and in music. A great concert. Thanks to WBAB for putting up a section of seats for $10.23! than way we had more money to spend on food and souvenirs (which we did).
The show was amazing, though they didn't mention Johnny until well into the second act. I was very annoyed with the the people in front of me holding their phones over their heads videoing the show, it really ruined the night for me, because the light was in my eyes. Why can't people just watch the show!!!! Phones should be outlawed at all concerts....
Concert was great. was very impressed with the flow of the concert. Especially the changing of the acts.
THAT IS ROCK N' ROLL.... Every Musician appears to give it their all...after 45 Yrs. of playing in every venue.
All performers were great and the end tribute to Johnny Winter was supurb! My only complaint is that the music was not loud enough! This isn't the first time sound low......
I don't think it should be called a tribute to Johnny Winters. Tribute was done poorly. More like, the show must go on. I don't think Johnny's band was going to be on the bill anyway since it looked like Edgar Winter's band played with the other guest on the bill. Haven't figured out how Rare Earth fit in this bill, other than filling up 20 minutes of show time.
Kim Simmonds, hot as ever, Peter Rivera was a wonderful surprise, I always loved Rare Earth and this fellow was funky as hell. Vanilla Fudge was ponderous way back when and they haven't changed. Edgar was terrific as always and he brought tears to our eyes, we too will miss Johnny.
It is very reasuring to see that these guys in spite of a good 40 plus years of living the lifestyle can still wail it on stage. There was no hint of Arthritis, Rheumatism, Hypertension or Alzheimers present on that stage. The venue is great because there are no bad seats and it has an intimacy that no longer exists in most other places. Kim Simmonds opened up and from the first chord he kicked it out like there was no tomorrow. He has a new album out that I will definitely check out. Next, the drummer from Rare Earth came on stage and kicked the beat into the audience. He mixed stories of Motown and the good old days with very high energy renditions of old classics, Awesome!!. After that we saw Vanilla Fudge. I found their performance a little too sloppy and cliche. Edgar Winter closed out the show with stories of his brother and again keyboard infused high energy music. The finale with all the players was high energy and you could almost feel Johnny in the room. Good Stuff!!!!.
Johny Winters died, he was the lead act of the show.They were supposed to have a Memorial or a dedication to him and they really didn't .They only sang one song There was no slides or film. They called this Rock N Brews Concert, they had the same Beer That they always have.
