We all know the classic hits from the selfish 80’s, you know…hits like Heart of Glass, Tide is High, Call Me and Rapture. I actually had long hair back then.
They played a bunch of newer tracks from PICTURE THIS, their latest. And the grooves are mature and worthy of a purchase for the collection.
Looking at the crowd, I was taken back by the generational mix and how everyone was "ONE" with the music. I sometimes forget what music can do to bring people together.
One glitch in the middle of their first attempt at Heart of Glass, a local power transformer blew and surged the sound system. Result? A 10 minute recess and a fresh do-over. The crowd went wild.
Another thing I noticed. No City employees or elected officials. Am I the only one with the ability to get out on a Tuesday night? You can’t use the excuse that we are too old; the place was consumed by 30-60 year olds.
Anyway, the show was a winner. The UPAC/Bardavon staff should be proud and their quick fix of the power problem was impressive. Well worth the time away from my computer!
