Unique experience in that it was an outdoor, late-afternoon concern on a super hot and muggy day in South Jersey. The three of us--my wife and an awesome millenial friend who was the ultimate good sport--all were sweating like the proverbial sinners in church.
But it was THE HOOTERS for pete's sake! First time I'd seen them live since 1985, and I'd have gone if the concert was in a honky tonk parking lot filled with broken glass. They were fantastic, of course.
So, if objectivity is important in these reviews, I fail to meet that benchmark. The band absolutely sounded great, and despite the heat, I saw very few concertgoers who were not having a grand time.
And above all, they are genuinely caring humans who've spent their lives making music that moves me and countless others, and I'm grateful beyond words for that.
