Comment on Concert Review: Los Lonely Boys at Stubb’s by Tom Cavanaugh

My review of the Los Lonely Boys tonight in Chandler AZ sent to LLB website.
Regarding the Chandler AZ show, March 2nd, 2012.
Tell your band to totally scrap the acoustic show other than maybe getting intimate with 2 or 3 songs a night. Otherwise, the acoustic show is killing them.
Don’t get me wrong, I love LLB. One of my favorite bands of all time.   But tonight was a total disappointment for me personally.
Wasn’t blown away by the show. I think the Chandler center for the arts has a martin sound system that is barely adequate for that venue.   Bottom end wasn’t getting it, not even close and the vocals were barely intelligible.   Plus, I’m just not into the acoustic show when it comes to pro bands who normally have electric guitar. I want the kick drum to kick me in the heart and the strat and Marshall to take my face off. Neither did it for me or my wife. At one point I caught her sleeping and she’s a rocker at heart!!!!   She loves music. It put her to sleep. First band, the Dunwells, thought they had good song writing, great harmonies, but they were putting us both to sleep by the 4th song. You need a band that wakes people up, not puts them to sleep. Los Lonely boys started out the same, Jo jo looked liked he was ready to fall off his chair., but from the middle part where they tore it up with the Latin perucussion thing was pretty damn good. From there on out was decent, thank God,   but too little too late.
Ringo is totally under-rated as a drummer/percussionist. The guy has a great feel in the pocket. Loved it.   If it wasn’t for Ringo, the band would have died tonight.
Overall I really hate acoustic concerts.   Would have been content with a movie at home. Ringo saved the night. They sit on their chairs and look like they are barely getting though it all. Tell them to throw the chairs away, pull out the stage show and get back to rockin it the way they need to rock it. I for one, will never attend an acoustic show again from LLB.   Even though they were pretty good, it’s not LLB and not what we want to hear. We want energy, not a living room or coffee house show. Screw that. The acoustic show is Passe’ and 90′s has been. Get off your asses so we in the audience get off our asses as well.
