Oldies Concert - Johnny Maestro and Larry Chance

Last night I went to the Van Wezel to see Larry Chance and the Earls. However, the headliner was Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge. Also with them were the Shangri-Las. The Shangri-La's opened the show. Normally I am not a music critic. I like what I like, and I enjoy all types of music. However, this was not my favorite concert by any imagination.

The Shangri-Las were billed as the "originals" and I have to tell you, my shoes were older than this group that formed in the 60's. They did not sound good either.

Larry Chance is Larry Chance, and I just love him. He is a cancer survivor and really a great guy. I love him whether or not he is singing. But he put on a great show.

Johnny Maestro- 16 Candles is probably the best known song, although he has many, was good. The sound was not good. He can't hit the high notes as well, but he sounds good.

The venue was different. Nice and intimate. Not sure I would go again to see music there. The sound was horrible.

I think I better stick to my Jersey Boys. I think I have finally outgrown the doo-wop music.
