Joe Bonamassa - Boston Loves You!

Picture as seen at  http://www.citicenter.org/show/855/    Over 3,000 Bonaholics packed the prestigious Wang Theater on Thursday, 11/3/11, to experience guitar titan Joe Bonamassa live and in the flesh.  Loyal fans proceeded to their seats in ceremonious fashion as if to receive a sacred gift.  This is by no means an exaggeration when I tell you that the feeling in that room was serious reverence for an unimaginable talent.   Bonamassa and his first class touring band played a stunning 2 1/2 hour set bringing the full house to their feet for several standing ovations (I lost count after 4).  There were many excited fans shouting their approval throughout the evening, testimony that it was an emotional experience for all.  I had to remind myself to take a breath occasionally as my throat choked with amazement.    Highlights from the show: Bonamassa played an array of different guitars throughout the evening, and showcased his musical rhetoric with compelling solos.  Slow Train

Best Live Entertainment on the Seven Seas! Norwegian Dawn Cruise from Boston to Bermuda 10/21/11-10/28/11

Some of the best live music entertainment out there is not on land, rather, on board the mega vessels cruising the seven seas!  We had an amazing time cruising from Boston to Bermuda on the Norwegian Dawn - this being our maiden voyage.  The rum was flowing, the music was blasting, and our vacation could not have been more decadent!   Here is my top five list: Disclaimer: many rum swizzles were consumed during the watching of these shows (~.~) 5. Band on the Run - The Norwegian Dawn Production Cast and the Norwegian Dawn Band brought us back to the 60's and 70's with great music and dancing ! 4.  Big Band Swing and some serious crooning by the Norwegian Dawn Band!   3. Rocking out to the ships rowdy rock band Kenosis! 2.  Bollywood - cirque style show with live music and acrobatics! 1. New Season - nothing beats a great reggae band poolside when you are in paradise!!!!! Be sure to check out my slide-show!
