Scott Miller Wrote:Tis the season for live music and I got my summer kicked off in fine fashion last night with The March Fourth Marching Band. The are a collective of roughly 20 musicians, 4 stilt walkers/dancers, hula hoopers, and a few burlesque-type dancers who pump as much energy into the crowd as any band I've ever seen. I highly recommend seeing them if you find the following video at all entertaining because while it shows what they do it in no way captures the vibe of being there.



The video comes from their official site and hat is worth poking around in as well; they are quite an interesting troupe.

I saw them at a new-to-me venue that was pretty awesome as well; the Mishawanka Ampitheatre is nestled right next to The Poudre River in The Poudre Canyon. The picture doesn't really do it justice but you get the idea. http://www.enditpresents.com/venues.htm

I will be returning on July 9th to see Bob Schneider.

Who is on your list?

Scott Miller Wrote:Me and technology, I'll see about getting that video working.

In September I'll going to see TOTO(with Joseph Willams!).

rjack_fan Wrote:My work schedule makes it hard to see many of the summer concert events around here during the week. And while SPAC is great, I don't have the patience for the traffic.

Scott Miller Wrote:I like Ben, was he by himself or with a band?

Scott Miller Wrote:I seem to recall that one of the reasons TOTO wasn't more popular is that they refused, or were at least reluctant to tour so it's cool that you are getting to see them. I am already pysched for the Schneider show on the 9th.

Scott Miller Wrote:You'll have to catch The Last Train To Clarksville.



What is SPAC? I'm no fan of concert traffic but I figure it's a tradeoff.

rjack_fan Wrote:Every time I see clarsville on a map I wonder if it's on a train line
I considered replying with a relevant Monkees lyric, and then adding one to each post I make to see who gets the song, but I don't think anyone here share that kind of love for the Monkees. Maybe I should join a Monkees forum...
