Just sharing my brother's band's new single which they had out on Friday. They're a pop/punk band formed a few months ago.

they do a great job. well done.

Went to see Tower of Power @ the Detroit Opera House on Saturday. Average White Band was the opener.

A few years ago I went to a Play at DOH and was shocked at how bad the sound was. The property itself is amazing. Just a beautifully restored gem. But the production was Amateur Hour. They had miced the stage and performers, but there were dead spots all over the place. Several times they had terrible feedback during the performance and it took a good 10 seconds for the sound guy to adjust. Lapel mics would get jostled and knocked around, sometimes completely turned off. It completely ruined an already questionable performance. This was not a local production, but a major nationally touring show with two "Big Name Stars". I've seen better High School productions. No exaggeration.

Someone told me afterwards that the DOH has Union contracts that make them use local Union lighting and sound guys

On Saturday when AWB started playing, the Lead Singer's mic was off. Sure. it happens. But it took them a song and a half to fix it. This included them turning up the wrong mic to the point of screeching feedback. Unacceptable. The Bass was also poorly miced. They only had two spotlights and the operators had no clue what they were doing. There would be a guy playing a solo and be standing in the dark while a singer standing to the side during the solo would be brightly lit by one of the spots. Just terrible.

In general AWB was just OK. They played for over an hour. I could have done with about 15 minutes. They didn't even tour with enough guys to do their stuff and had two guys from ToP come and play "Pick Up the Pieces" with them. A song without vocals.

ToP was amazing. Mostly old white guys, but My God can they bring it! From the first note to the last they were completely rocking. The lead singer is just amazing. And they had 5 horns, a drummer, bassist, keyboards, and guitar.

Just a great show.

Wow. I am in a little band and we play a lot of his songs. I am basically considering quitting now. This guy is fantastic.

I don't know which is more depressing - how good that guy is or the fact that he's playing some random Pizzeria in Utah with little kids walking in front of the camera.

One more thing from this show that really pissed me off. During the Intermission we went to the bar and got my wife a glass of wine. When we got back to our seats, she realized that her little plastic wine glass was cracked and wine was leaking all over her. She asked me to go get her a new glass. I went to the nearest bar and told my story to the nice woman working there and asked for a replacement glass. She said: "I can't do that unless you bring me the broken one." I said it doesn't have to be one of the wine glasses, one of the beer cups would be fine, just so my wife didn't have to drink from a dribble cup. The woman was a complete ass. "Nuh uh, can't do it. Go get me the broken one."

"Screw you," said I.

I went to one of the other bars in the Opera Hall and the guy working this one said: "Yeah, no problem. Here you go. Sorry about the cracked glass."

I had to walk past the bar with Ms Helpful. I couldn't resist going over to her and showing her the replacement glass: "The guy upstairs was able to help. Thank for nothing."

Her attitude is a perfect microcosm of why this city is so completely effed-up.

LOL.... that was my first thought also. What the hell is someone like that doing in Utah?
