MG does Dallas, w/Mr. BIG!!
I’m not sure who the opening acts were and I wish I had paid better attention.
The first band played mostly covers, and they were very good. The second
band sang original stuff, Chemical Love, Chemical Reaction, Chemical High,
Chemical other stuff. They were young, they were cute and really very good.
I got in trouble w/security here^^^, so I spent most of my time trying to
comply with his wishes …that guy wanted my camera bad.
This was an audience of true blue, die hard Mr. Big fans …young, like us,
and younger. I wasn’t kidding about the guys, the audience was majority men.
They hogged the rail and all the vids, I’m pretty sure, were done by men.
The Big guys rocked and entertained from the moment they hit the stage.
They stopped here and there in between songs to chat …#1 to make sure we
knew how grateful they were to be in the US, Dallas, TOGETHER and their
reunion was long overdue #2 to make sure we knew how much they appreciated us
and #3 to show us some love …they love their fans!
EM’s vox are every bit as sharp live as they are recorded …so much soul,
everything is sung from his toes, when they’re rocking, when they slow it
down, no matter, he gives it his all. I love his voice and his style. He is
energized, but not too much…he knows his stuff.
The band is incredible, so much talent, on their own instruments and on
each others. When they swapped out instruments, including vox, for S>O>W …
I have to say I was impressed, but when they swapped again, I was amazed.
I have never seen a band smile so much,
EVER!!
I knew I was going to love the music, I knew they were a talented bunch,
I knew I loved those vox, but I will admit that I was surprised that EM sounded
so incredible live. I was further touched by the outpouring of love between the
band members, the absolute blast they were having w/one another, which
translated to the audience, which translated back to them. If they grabbed
their hearts once, they did so over a dozen times throughout …if they had
been anywhere else someone would have called the paramedics …
They were so gracious and genuinely touched by the love they were getting
in return. Great, great crowd, loved the old stuff, but got the most excited
when they played the new stuff.
Deb, I know To Be With You isn’t one of your favs, but I love it …EM puts
so much
sooooul into this song. Without his vox I’d feel different,
but geeeeez, he sounds just like yesterday and even if he didn't it's the
soul that makes him so incredible ...for me. Much like
you know who!!
FU and I chatted just a bit about what it must feel like for them to go from
the huge venues they are accustomed to across the pond, to this. She
commented that when she saw them over there, there were just waves
of people and that has to be a thrill, but being able to have a more intimate
one on one with their fans at these shows …they just have the best of both
worlds. I’m glad my show was on the smaller scale.
Love The Bigs …class act!! PLEASE come home again soon!!
