Fire It Up, Let Love Live Again!!

Fire It Up, Let Love Live Again!! Happy Monday folks!! Yep..you guessed it...it's review time again  So who is it this time? Well let me tell you.... Friday night was Johnny Reid at the MTS Centre  Those of you who don't know, I'm one of his biggest fans ....and he AIN'T country...  I don't care what you say This was his first time doing a whole show in the MTS Centre...I've seen him at the Casino (twice) and the Concert Hall, but this was big time 10,000 people according to the paper...pretty cool huh? But before I get to the main event, I have to comment on the support act.... Carolyn Dawn Johnson is a great artist in her own right. That being said.....when you open for another act, your purpose is to "warm up" the crowd...sort of like a musical "fluffer" Oh come on...this IS a sex site after all I'm contractually obligated to get some sex in here Anyway.... If your purpose is to get things started, so to speak, why oh why do you perform a set that would bore a corpse?? She's a great singer...has written some great songs....and she's a great performer....but she was boring  .....and depressing lolI know she's Country...but really??? A couple of more "upbeat" numbers wouldn't have gone amiss Maybe it's just me...but I don't think so Then again....nobody was there to see her anyway  On to Johnny Reid... As always this guy delivers He looked as at home in that building as he does in the Casino...he was born to entertain and nobody could have been dissapointed with the performance he put on, complete with pyro He spent two whole songs running around the whole arena...and I mean the WHOLE arena lmao the security guy must have thought he was nuts lmao Great song after great song, the set list relied heavily on the new album, but still included most of the hits.... Complaints?? Just a few lol Firstly, someone should fire the sound guy....most of the time the vocals were lost in the mix a bit...he is such a great singer...the vocals could have been pushed up a little....maybe it's the bigger venue though...because the other three times I've seen him the sound has been impeccable Secondly, the red pants. Ouch. They did not look good lol Even he had to comment when he saw himself on the big screens lol Lastly, no bagpipe solos in "Change the World" or "Till we Meet Again"??????? WTF????? They MAKE those songs....they're great songs but the pipes take them over the edge...bring back the bagpipes, PLEASE!!! One thing I must say.....the encore.... This takes balls of the highest order...very few bands can and do attempt this.... He played all the "big" songs during his set.... Most bands keep the "best" songs for encore to ensure that the crowd demands one regardless of how deserving they are... To play those songs (the ones people REALLY want to hear) during the show was a brave move Of course, then the band comes back in Jets jerseys... I thought there was going to be a riot though.... During the final number, he had on his Jets jersey complete with Reid #12 on the back....at the end of the song he took it off to throw to the little girl he had on stage with him....and some guy caught it and wasn't going to give it to the ...not cool....I thought he was going to jump off the stage and attack him lol Luckily the guy got the message and everything ended well ;P I guess having 9,999 people ready to tear you apart was a wake up call All in all a good night If you get the chance, go see him....you'll get more than your moneys worth.... If you've never heard of him...go look him up...the songs are great and he's a great entertainer...you won't be sorry "A full blown basket of hash browns with a steaming cup of 'WTF?" on the side" Enter my Lair: spudsy1000 |
