Thursday night concert --The Dan Band
I'm semi-NOT going to apologize for the video. I know, I've done a couple lately and while you are all riding high from "Suzy Snowflake", I have to show you this one. Although not quite as retro as Suzy, The Dan Band is something you gotta see.
Joe and I went to see The Dan Band last night. Yes, we bundled up to survive temps in the low teens, but that's what us hardy Chicago folk do--we bundle up and go. Let me tell you how freaking cold that wind is blowing across an open parking lot of a huge venue. Brrrrrr.
The actual main act was Cheap Trick, but who goes to see them?! Not me. They were old and "low energy"--yes, those were my actual words after we walked out after 3 songs. But we didn't mind that so much, we were there to see The Dan Band. They were hysterical and fun to see live, but I was bummed they were only allowed a 45 minute gig amidst the loaded set list of the night.
As there are only a few of us who actually follow The Dan Band, I have to explain that his show is made up of all songs that woman have made famous. The "I Am Woman" Tour is hilarious, if not entertaining. Gees, these boys can dance! Do a few searches on YouTube if you like what you see here--he's worth the look see.
Enjoy!
Hey, Happy Friday, pallies! We are off to a basketball game tonight, The Nutcracker on Saturday, and some Christmas shopping downtown on Sunday. I hope this weekend finds you (and me!) some time for reflection of the season, some good holiday movies, and perhaps being with those you love. Breathe deep, my friends, for this is some stressful time of year.

Sounds like a musical and fun weekend- Enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend! I will be painting. The bedroom. A bright, happy yellow color. Probably painting a bit of myself as well.
I love the Nutcracker. I saw it in Philadelphia at the Academy of Music one year.
I hadn't heard of The Dan Band before so I always love learning about new things! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!
Tracy--I'm glad you enjoyed them. :) I think I lost the crowd on this one.
Grace--Happy Weekend, Grace!
Pricilla--Perhaps you and your paintbrush can do a little Paux de Deux! Happy painting! Oh, I do love the smell of fresh paint. Sounds like you are really close to getting in.
Beaded Tail--They are obscure, but great. I hope you liked it. :) Happy Weekend!
Man you are one busy lady. Do you ever rest?...lol
They looked like a lot of fun and a lot of laughter. I have never heard of them!
Enjoy your busy weekend!
Ann--Who can rest when you have kids? I'll be resting all too soon and missing these active days. :) (I take naps to cope, Ann)
Chocolate--It was a fun night! Lots of fun going on though--hope you are having lots too!
I LOVE these guys. Way better than Cheap Trick any day. Thanks for bring them to us...
I remember seeing Cheap Trick YEARS ago, and totally not being impressed.
An appropriate song for the stress of the season. The guys are very talented.
Now I love the Dan Band! But I have to say I'm sorry to hear Cheap Trick has turned into old fuddy duddies because I loved them way back when!
Merry--Go to YouTube for more Dan Band greatness. :)
Storm--That's what I was thinking! I only went for the warm-up act. :)
Chuck--They sorta drop the f-bomb a bit, but they make me laugh.
Violet--They were just old, Violet, and that was sort of sad. And they opened with 3 really slow songs, which didn't help. Gotta give them credit for rocking at 60--I couldn't do it. Glad you liked the Dan Band. Check them out on YouTube for more....
I've never heard of those guys, but when I saw the close up of grandma's moon walk, what did I see?
That's right, kids. I saw a pair of Converse low tops.
So now I'm in love.
CG--I KNEW you'd love them! You can spot the good guys--they all wear Converse. :)
