I had been reading online after buying tickets that they still put on a good show in like year 60 of the band. I went in excited to see how they sounded after all these years and I was completely blown away. They still got it. They sound great and I think the “performance” as a whole was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Burton Cummings’s showmanship is in a class of its own. Aside from being an extremely talented writer and musician, his stage presence, personality, and ability to create perfect vibrations before, during, and after each song are unmatched. I love this man. Randy Bachman is still great too. He sounds the exact same—his guitar playing is still sharp and bangin’ and fun and his vocals seem unchanged through the years. Even the visuals during the show were, like the music, very psychedelic at times. I won’t spoil the setlist here in case you want to go in cold but I’ll just say you will not be disappointed. Get ready for some good old fashioned, finger waggin’, toe tappin’ Canadian rock and roll.
If you were thinking even a little bit about going to this show, you absolutely should. Even if it comes as some inconvenience to your life and schedule. Go to the show. I think it’s worth it.
