concerts

This weekend, i was able to attend two incredible concerts at santa fe cafe. on friday, a band called the mahoney brothers played as a beatles cover band/tribute. the concert started at about eleven and was a sold out show. the band members came on stage wearing dark blue suits, and wigs that suited each character. Ringo, George, John, and Paul came alive again right in front of me. although their costumes were very exaggerated, in that their hair did not look real at all and they had pounds of makeup on, they did a good job of "trying" to be the band. they even bobbed their heads and had the same guitar movements as the beatles used to do when they would perform.
the crowd seemed to enjoy them completely. loud cheers were heard, along with the audience singing along to every song that they played. it was nice to take some time to hear some excellent oldies music from such a significant band. i wish i would have witnessed their time of fame because i definitly would have been considered a "groupie." it was a great night. the only unfortunate thing is that i have not been able to get "we all live in a yellow submarine" out of my head since friday.
