This week we are seeing all of these artists in concert- time has been kinder to some of the talents. It is an extraordinary array of talent and a reminder of our own aging. The girls in the front of the concert are no longer chicks and while they still shake that thing; also don't appear like the used to.
America (the band) had a great sound after 30+ years and I recall the Cassette Tape of America Greatest Hits that Albert Lee gave me for a 18th birthday. That was a special evening as it marked the first real date I had with Anna.
Peter Frampton also is still making great music. He particularly looked to be enjoying himself and was taking happy snaps while on stage and singing with Brian Wilson. It was clear that amongst these stars that Brian held a special status....and the artists were queuing up to take shots while they sang....
The chorus for Good Vibrations and Barbara Ann had the singers from Chicago, America and Peter Frampton all joining in. A classic oldie and it was clear that they enjoyed this as much as we did.
In Melbourne for the "Sounds of Summer"; except that it was a typical Melb weather -- damp, wet and quite cool. This friday evening we see Brother Gibb (Robin) who again I've been a big fan, I even had a single record when he went solo in the 60's. I'm not sure where that vinyl is.....but I'm looking forward to a reunion with the Bee Gees (or at least) what's available for us to see......
