I just got back from the ventures show and was blown away. I went
and saw them a couple years back and there wasn't nearly the volume
of people that were there tonight and the venue was at least 3 times
the size. I didn't know beforehand but it was put on by the local
oldies station. So needless to say being 23 (in two days) I stuck
out quite a bit, which many people asked me about. All in all it
seemed more like a Jimmy Buffet concert but without the drunken
singing. Hawaiian shirts aplenty, they even brought in sand and
balloon palm trees. Two large screens played black and white footage
from their early years and their influence on japan.
The highlights were probably of the several guest appearances from
people like Joe Fischer from Heart, the Wailers, and the drummer of
Yes (who along with Leon played an amazing dual drum solo). The
whole point was primarily to get signatures for their nomination into
the rock and roll hall of fame. Which is surprising that they haven't
yet.
