529 in Atlanta
Ava Luna - my friends at the show had asked me if I had seen them before because I was in for something really good. “Dancy shit” was the words used to describe them. They were correct. Somewhere between Talking Heads, early Prince and a whole lot of fun weirdness in between. Wonderful vocals - 3 singers taking turns on lead. Instrument switching depending on the demands of the song. I intended to stay for 3-5 songs and stayed for the whole 1 hour & 10min set. Hated that it was a weeknight and everyone was clearly acting like it was Friday night. Sober drive home for me and I could stop thinking about the show. So much Fun! Onward… Fantasy Guys - excellent as always Karaoke - the band was on point. Always great to see Chris on bass and vocal duties. Friday September 14 2018 Verizon Wireless, Atlanta GA Deep Purple w/Judas Priest Judas Priest - excellent show! I cannot say enough about Ritchie Faulkner who replace KK a few years ago now holding up the mantle for Glenn. Delivering the Goods & Sinner were definitely the big songs for me. The new Firepower lp has a classic sound and all those songs fitted in well. Rob sounded great. Playing 2nd to purple made the set a bit shorter and wanted more. I’ll gladly see them again on the next round. Onward..
