Average White Band – Rams Head on Stage, 4/11/2019

Table 100, Row A, Seat 3 – front row of tables, at the left side of the stage. Somewhat surprisingly, only 3 of the 6 seats were occupied, although it was a large crowd overall.

 

 

Cranky? Irritable? Just generally out of sorts? Just take 90 minutes of AWB. Repeat as often as necessary.

 

Seriously, this show just reinforces my impression from two years ago that this is one of the best live bands around today. Great solos by the entire crew, stunning soul vocals by Brent Carter, great crowd rapport. The audience seemed more diverse than I remember from last time, and had a high energy level throughout. “A Love Of Your Own” continues to be a show-shopper, although there really wasn’t a weak spot in the entire evening. The couple I sat with mentioned that they come to see them every year; I may have to join them in that.
