So, after my dad died in '09, my mother said she'd never been to a concert...13 years later, at age 81, mom's been to a boatload of concerts. Last night we went to see the "Last Summer on Earth" tour - Barenaked Ladies, Gin Blossoms, and Toad the Wet Sprocket. My mom and sister were primarily there for Toad, I was most interested in Gin Blossoms. We figured we'd catch a few of the Barenaked Ladies songs and duck out early before the crowd.
There was no ducking. The first 2 bands were both really good, but Barenaked Ladies were freaking amazing. Great playing, great stage presence, completely engaging...I knew very few of the songs they played, they did not stick to a "just the hits" setlist. They did a medley that morphed from Sesame Street's "Sing a song" into a completely killer version of "Whole Lotta Love" where the singer took over on drums and the drummer just wailed in a way that Robert Plant wishes he could.
If you get a chance and have even a slight liking for their music, see them live. You will not be disappointed.
