After the weekend of Kid Rock, it's time to settle down into some mellow 80's rock. Well.... the Dogg may not be ready to be mellow yet! On 7/20/09, the Townespeople and friends Paul & Jane were witness to an 80's show that may or my not be what the crowd wanted. First came the "semi YES" band Asia. Asia was formed upon the ashes of the original YES and to this Dogg's opinion, is a sick orphan. This may have been the lamest warm up band in history! Throughout the first act, all that set the band apart was a lone woman in the pavillion that rocked out, totally out of beat, acting as if she had been tased by a 50,000 watt taser! When this is the highlight of a show, you know you went to the wrong concert. Musical highlight was an excellent drum solo. Even their hits, got little response. Good band with shitty songs. Not this Dogg's cup of tea.
At least we have YES to look forward to. Oh no, they lost their lead singer and replaced him with a man that is a clone. Whoever this guy is, he is Jon Andersen reincarnate. The band is tight , the singer rocks, but it is not near enough. Me and Brenda walked out during the last 10 minutes of the show. Not a bad show, but it was not as advertised. A crowd of approx. 6,000 was well behaived, well dressed, and stayed in their seats until Roundabout and Starship Troopers. Then they finally stood up and rocked. Just an average concert.

This concert was a snoozer. Better off staying home watching re-runs of Leave it to Beaver!
