Not a crowd but a respectable amount of fans out for Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby at TT the Bears on a Tuesday night. It's been so many years since Whole Wide World was a hit, but even now I couldn't let the chance go by. I neglectfully let another appearance go by about a year ago.
I was afraid that Rigby would dilute the Wreckless Eric experience but it was to the contrary. She added depth and feeling into the songs that probably wouldn't be there without her and two of the highlights of the night were lead by her; a version of Broken Doll and a surprise, You Tore Me Down, the Flaming Groovies' song.
Eric did many of his favorites: Semaphore Signals, Reconnez Cherie ,Take The Cash, Hit 'n' Miss Judy and of course - Whole Wide World.
Add Amy's songs in there, especially Dancing With Joey Ramone and it was a great collection of songs.
But a song list doesn't' tell the story. It was a funny and intimate night lead by the charming Eric. This is one funny guy. Any comment would spur him on to a story told in one of those Enlglish accents that just make you laugh right off. It would have been a great night just hearing him talk. The show lasted two hours and it went by in a flash.
Next time he comes to town, I'm there.
and here's some news...Cam Ackland and Dennis McCarthy's new band The Port Charles Quintet do their first show October 17th along with The Last Ones at The Cantab!!!
AND here's some interesting news...I got it straight from the band that The Real Kids will be playing some gigs at the end of summer/early fall and they will play ALL NEW SONGS, they are working on and practicing 10 new songs already! YAY...we look forward to that!!.....
Ok folks, that's it for this week.....click and write me!.... Lyn
