EPIC
by MICHAEL on 12/21/21Goodyear Theater - AkronRating: 5 out of 5We plebeians don’t typically consider the amount of effort that goes into a show like this, but my god it showed in spades… SUPER tight- band rocked as always, stage show/ lighting was spot on (pun, whatever), & sound was really expertly done.
First number coming back after break was totally unbelievable, my mouth was hanging wide open, dried out and started to burn, but I don’t think they sell moisturizing tongue cream.… the slower parts, where everyone else became background and Neil just stood front and center and frigging SANG that thing like a god- blew me away, & everyone around me. That’s their true sweet spot, from where I sit. I almost burst into tears.
Boston’s Foreplay / Long Time interlaced with Greensleeves was #%*ing BRILLIANT… throw in the Aerosmith etc. … arranging was both seamless and frigging GENIUS. The finale medley, of course, but the whole show from start to finish. I frigging love them. Xmas music expertly darkened and deepened until it went from ‘palatable’ and pegged the needle straight to ‘epic’.
Don’t. Miss. A show from them.
