A Night of Classic Rock

Tracy scored tickets to the Foreigner/Styx/Kansas concert last night, so we grabbed Chris, Bethany, Lisa, and Gary and headed to Jiffy Lube Live. The coolest thing about the concert was seeing a entire audience my age or older. All of these bands came to the national stage in the 1970's, so the 20-30 year olds were few and far between. All the members of the band are old, but so am I, so who cares?

We were treated to 4 hours of 70's and 80's rock and roll. The 1980's remain the golden age of music in the United States and hearing the old stuff kicked ass. Tracy, as usual, made a spectacle of herself, but who could blame her? There is something ethereal about hearing the music from your youth and Tracy let loose.

Predictably, each band closed with their most popular song:

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
Styx - Renegade
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero

Since the bands are so old (Renegade was released 32 years ago), very few of the original members are still around. That said, the new singer for Foreigner was a dead ringer for the original vocalist and if they had not brought it up during the concert, I never would have known.
