Rock and Roll is alive and well thanks to BCC!!! What a revival of pure unadulterated rock. The CDs are great but seeing them live at the 9:30 club was a treat.
It was not a sell out by any means, so the club has the ability to move the stage up and make it seem to be packed. However those in attendance which was 500 - 700 was really into it and they were loud! The sound was great, Warren does such a fantastic job and ensuring the right mix for any venue, he is the best. It was loud for sure and on certain notes Glenn voice would be a bit piercing but that was on the floor standing with sista Jane. After about 5 songs, I went upstairs on the balcony where my wife and son was and had no problems. There really is not a bad spot in the place. Kind of reminds me of the venues that Joe was playing several years ago before the theatres. It was interesting to watch the crowd from up there and a lot of head banging, dancing, hooting and hollering going on!!!
Really nice to meet the band at the M&G, especially Jason. We got to chatting about the Led Zeppelin reunion show at the O2 and got him to sign my ticket stub and hardback program which he hadn't seen before. Glenn was kind of busy on the phone but did get to say hello, Joe was gracious as ever. Got a bite to eat after that and Joe comes over as well, got to chat some more with him. There was a couple sitting next to us and the girl got so excited that Joe was coming in. She wanted to get a picture with him but was too shy to go over, so I took her over and introduced her, but she was so star struck she couldn't hardly speak, it was priceless. After Joe ate, he came over and I took a picture of them together, made her day for sure!!!
It was really nice seeing a lot of Bona buddies again, like Jane, Jim Clark, Roy (Vortex), Bob (Taurus), Don and Jocelyn. Nice meeting Jane's long time friend, she was very sweet...
Look forward to seeing BCC again in 2012, hopefully. Already got tickets for three different Joe shows this fall... Rock on...
Music is good for the Soul...
