LONG LIVE REAL ROCK!!
by Tré on 10/9/25The Bellwether - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5What a great actual rock show. Had never seen them, had never been to the Bellwether, both were perfect that night; must admit, was not terribly familiar w/ the catalog besides the hits, but nearly everything they played that night was loud, raw rock'n' roll in a classic but modern style (broken up w/the occasional ballad); the Bellwether is also a modern classic place to experience live music, the venue matched the music perfectly. The crowd clearly knew they were witnessing something special, particularly by the time the band got deep into their better-known tracks, closing w/a cover of Purple Rain that had the audience swaying & singing along; Mike Scott's a consummate showman & his band is comprised of absolute virtuosos — definitely a tour worth getting in on.
