Just got back from seeing what amounted to the
'Yacht Rock' version of
"The Last Waltz" at a casino out here.
Holy frickin' cow!!
The show was basically 1970's/Early 80's pop group
Ambrosia joined by an all-star lineup of other famed 70's acts and one
(or two) hit wonders. One by one they called up performers to join them and sing some songs.
As a tribute to
Robbie Robertson, they even all joined together for an awesome doing of
"The Weight." Spectacular!!!
Here are the cool highlights. Look at this lineup of huuuuuuge hits:
Ambrosia - "How Much I Feel," "Biggest Part of Me," "You're the Only Woman (You & I)" and "Holdin' on to Yesterday"
Al Stewart - "Time Passages" and "Year of the Cat"
Walter Egan - "Magnet and Steel"
Elliot Lurie (Lead singer of
Looking Glass) - "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" and their other Top 40 hit, "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne"
John Ford Coley (From
England Dan & John Ford Coley) - "Nights Are Forever Without You," "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight," "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again" and
(everyone on stage joining in for) "Love Is the Answer"
Although, it wasn't all good. It's going to be impossible to forget all of the former 'hotties'
(with an additional 40 years of road wear on their bodies) excitedly shaking their asses up front and singing loudly along to the songs. They always seemed only moments away from tossing their underwear, well
Depends, on stage. Don't want to be mean, but these former 'groupies' have turned into 'droopies.' Gravity is a cruel demon. Yoinks!!!!! I found myself reaching under my seat in search of an in-concert barf bag.
Other than that, what a cool event!!!
