Hail! Hail! the gang's all here, and what a gang it was. Last night's
performance of "A Walk Down Abbey Road, A Tribute to The Beatles" was an
outstanding show. From the opening "Magical Mystery Tour" to "Golden
Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End", this group cooks. Highlighting the
tour was an unbelievable performance by Anne Wilson. This Rock Icon didn't
miss a note while belting out some of her most difficult material. Todd
Rundgren was his usual silly self, totally capturing the audience with his
showmanship. But wait......what about Todd's talent? Todd performed the
Nazz hit "Open my Eyes", his solo rendition of "Hello It's Me" and yes,
"Bang the Drum" with brilliance. Additionally Todd rose to the occasion
with several glistening solos on his old (very coolly painted) Gibson SG and
some beautiful work on the 12 string doing a solo performance of "Hey,
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away". MVP's to this show, however were
Geoffrey Townsend and Dave Pack on guitars and Steve Luongo on Drums. Dave
and Geoffrey provided rock solid guitar chops and solos throughout while
Steve just kept things pumping, taking and giving cues all night long. John
Entwistle and Alan Parsons performances were incredible to say the least.
But both were somewhat understated in the fanfare. John and Alan did what
they do
best ...... They make everyone else's' jobs easier. DON'T MISS THIS
SHOW!!!!
