SUMMARY:Earth\, Wind & Fire
DESCRIPTION:Earth\, Wind & Fire is a music institution. In 1969\, music legend Maurice White birthed the music force named after the elements from his very own astrological charts. With soul as deep as the plant\, Earth\, Wind & Fire charted a history that will live on forever. They’ve scored eight number one hits and have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. They’ve released 23 albums; eight of those albums went Double Platinum and hit the Top 10\, making them one of the best-selling artists of all time. They’ve won an impressive nine GRAMMY® Awards including one for Lifetime Achievement (2012). In 2000\, Earth\, Wind & Fire was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, cementing their lasting impact on popular music and\, in 2019\, their contributions to arts and culture was acknowledged in Washington DC with the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors. \nThe music of Earth\, Wind & Fire is more alive than ever as they continue to inspire new audiences and thrill those who have been with them from the beginning. Like the elements in their name\, Earth\, Wind & Fire’s music has withstood ever-changing trends in the world and shows no sign of vanishing as they continue to create joy and uplifting music that will forever reach a sacred universal atmosphere. From the funky and infectious “Let’s Groove” to the timeless dance classic “September” to the heartfelt “Reasons\,” Earth\, Wind & Fire’s catalog of hits has become the soundtrack to many lives; now\, then and forever. \nPlease note: The San Diego Symphony Orchestra does not appear on this concert. There will be no intermission for this concert.

SUMMARY:George Thorogood & The Destroyers
DESCRIPTION:There is this magical sweet spot that seems to be created when two genres mix and create something magnificent. Take a pinch of Chuck Berry’s Rock and Roll\, add in a dash of John Lee Hooker’s Blues\, and what you get is the hard-driving and toe-tapping musical mélange that is mastered by George Thorogood and The Destroyers. They were at a sold-out MTelus in Montreal the other night as part of this year’s annual Jazz Festival. There wasn’t very much jazz being played on this night\, but that’s not really what the packed house was looking for anyway. \nThey wanted some down-and-dirty rock and roll so that they could shake\, rattle and roll the night away. Played to the stage by Barry McGuire’s classic “Eve of Destruction\,” the band is then introduced wrestling style as “World Champions of Rock and Roll!” It didn’t take much more than that to get everyone up in the gallery to join their fellow rock fans on the floor by jumping to their feet. \nOpening the evening was Texas blues rocker Alastair Greene. He hit the stage in his best Texas outlaw gear\, though the only gun he was slinging was a mean electric guitar. His set was terribly short\, considering that he came out and immediately caught everyone’s attention with some slick guitar work. He may have been a rookie to the city\, but Alastair Greene has been rocking crowds for almost 20 years. The majority of his set came from his tenth album\, Standing Out Loud\, which was released last year. Hopefully\, he will be back soon and be able to play even more of his awesome songs. \n \n\n\nGetting back to our headliner\, George Thorogood hasn’t lost any of his energy\, or good nature\, despite being 75. I hope to have that much energy when I get to that point. He opened his set with ”Rock Party\,” a rather appropriate choice as that was exactly what we were all there for. A rock party for the ages. Even the venue got in on the fun\, offering up a special one bourbon\, one scotch and one beer trio for 23 dollars. That song\, of course\, got a huge reaction\, but the loudest cheer of the night had to be the opening riff of “Bad To The Bone.” The between-song banter was great as well as George was obviously having a great time. \nThe love-in between artist and crowd lasted all the way to the final notes. The Montreal fans had been waiting seven years since George Thorogood & The Destroyers last visited. Both ‘The Plague’ and other medical issues had kept George away\, but he was back\, and the crowd lined the street waiting to get in. There were more than a few disappointed fans who tried to buy some last-minute tickets while I was picking up my pass. \n \n\n\nOnce inside the building\, George Thorogood & The Destroyers made everyone forget the long wait. They absolutely lived up to their ‘Baddest Band In The World’ billing. George Thorogood & The Destroyers will be out there on tour until mid-August. Don’t miss your chance to get rocked by The World Champions of Rock and Roll when they come to a town near you.
