Nice one. My wife is a lot more in to them than I am, although I do find their covers to be really well done. In fact my main band covers their version of Get ready/You really got me (not as good obviously). 

I wasn't aware they were coming over here until I saw it pop up on my feed this morning and I jumped on it. Most ive ever paid to see a covers band though 😀

We went to Lancaster Grand to see "The Stadium Rock Experience" in a 360 seat theatre. Not my definition of a stadium but what do I know.

 

An eclectic six piece band called "Trigger" who play 70's, 80's, 90's rock anthems, so All Right Now, Free, Quo etc etc. The front man looks like he would rather be at home organising his vinyl record collection (thats a quote from their website BTW), more dad rock than anything else. 

 

A bit like Spinal Tap doing Bon Jovi and Queen and Quo etc. They don't take themselves too seriously and that's their saving grace. It's difficult to find a singer who can do GnR, Tina Turner, Bon Jovi and he doesn't try to. 

 

The musicianship was excellent, the bassist and drummer did just what they should do, the keyboard player had more sequins than Strictly Come Dancing, the female singer was very, very good, the male singer looked like me in a pair of tight leather trousers, not a good look TBH. The guitarist was superb. No idea who he was but he was brilliant. 

 

Did we think we had seen the bands when we left the theatre? No, did we have a good time? yes. Did people get up and dance? yes! Was it worth £20, definitely. A lot of tongue in cheek humour, they didn't take themselves too seriously, but played very well. The first five mins were hilarious as two out of their four mikes failed to work. Did they storm off, Like Axl Rose? No The bass player, Bob, kept the jokes going whilst the lead singer was desperately trying to fix the problem at the back of the stage. These things happen, it was just like Spinal Tap.
