They came out of the gates smokin’ and they tore into “Hot’lanta”. You could feed off the energy in the crowd. This was only the sixth show of this brief tour, and I was amazed by how tight they were, right on key. They sounded great!
The Liberty Room was packed. Moufy mixed with the crowd with non-stop energy that was infectious. He was down and serious with getting his message of loyalty to New England and Boston. It was a wild party with positive vibes that did not stop. He emits that he just loves this music to the core. I can’t imagine him doing anything else. He was completely in the zone.
I came in during “How Long” and the room was already ablaze. “Tame The Beast” was played next and the song took the stage as if it were its own entity. They built an elevated character and we reached for it. The FLUTE was jammin.
The Goo Goo Dolls rocked the Hampton Beach Casino at the beginning of this summer to a sold-out crowd. On November 19, 2011, they returned with Ryan Star to once again, perform to a sold-out show. This time it was the last of over 300 performances on the tour, and the last show for the Casino as it closed out its fantastic season of music.
Joe showed the capacity crowd why he’s the new riff king of rock and contemporary blues.
This tribute, in remembrance of his father’s passing over 30 years ago, must have moved every guest at this theatre. Everyone could see the emotions in Jason, and it was very touching to see how grateful he was about paying tribute to his father’s legacy. Jason also said my dad was ” just a regular guy.” Of course, the elder Bonham was no regular drummer …
One of the last remaining links of the great Chicago blues men, not only did he bring the enthusiastic crowd through a history of blues classics from the likes of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and Albert King, he played his own material as well.
This well rounded team took the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom by storm helping the Motor City Madman re-state his case as one of the best live rock ‘n’ roll performers of his or any other generation.
Picture this: Aaron walks on stage, sporting a black Hatebreed t-shirt, a camo baseball cap and jeans, takes his guitar and sits down on a stool. The setting reminded me of VH1 Storytellers …
Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Sherinian and Jason Bonham: Elegant and explosive, wild and restrained, professional and engaging. They presented a show to a sold out crowd in New Hampshire on Friday night that exceeded the expectations of some very experienced rock fans of all ages.
