Orchestra Center, Row B, Seats 105-106 (second row, on the center-right
aisle)
I have actually “scene” this band very seldom; not sure when the last
time was, but it was almost certainly not in this century. Although the current
lineup doesn’t feature any of the original members, the group still put on a
nice show, with two fifty-minute sets. They’ve always been known for pulling in
songs from other genres, and this evening’s performance included “Sitting On
Top Of The World” (done by Cream and many others), James Taylor’s “Sweet Baby
James”, and John Fogerty’s “Big Train (From Memphis)”. Having three primary
lead vocalists provided plenty of variety in the sound, and the harmony vocals
were excellent, especially when Ronnie Simpkins added bass on the gospel
classic “I’ll Be No Stranger There”. And they did do my personal favorite, “Wait
A Minute”, as the last number in their second set.
