I found the secrets to a great concert.

1. YOU!!!!

2. Incredible bands

Let me explain a little. Follow along with me I am going somewhere.

The ingredients for a great concert are simple yet profound, beginning with you, the audience. Your excitement is the lifeblood of the performance, creating an electric atmosphere that the band can feel from the stage. This energy exchange is a powerful cycle: as your enthusiasm grows, the band absorbs it, amplifies it, and sends it back, creating an escalating loop of mutual raw energy that the band picks up on and it feeds them. There is a magic on stage you can physically feel. Bands feel it, I think for that high is the reason why they do it. The more you give, the more the band can deliver, resulting in an unforgettable experience where there is this spiritual connection between performers and audience reaches its peak, leaving everyone with a sense of unity and euphoria.

I watched CCsegeR arrived chauffeured in a prestigious golf cart. All of them in one golf cart. Love was in the air. As they were coming around, the crowd was all ready fired up and you could see how infectious it was on the band members. It is like starter fluid on a BBQ on the 4th of July. The fire caught!!!

Attending a CC Seger concert is a life changing experience that will leave you in awe, feeling as though you've been transported back in time to witness the original legends themselves. The performances of Paul Holdgate and Randy Scoles are so spot-on, you'd swear it was Bob Seger and John Fogerty standing on stage. I have watched them numerous times. Last night was simply amazing, wow, oh my god, is it over already good. But there was one major difference in all those shows I have enjoyed. YOU! The audience was like wow, oh my god, screaming, dancing yelling crazy on fire. ALL NIGHT!!!!

Paul Holdgate's vocal talent is simply mesmerizing, capturing the gravelly depth and soul of Bob Seger's iconic voice. From the emotional resonance in "Turn the Page" to the energetic drive of "Old Time Rock and Roll," Paul’s delivery is nothing short of spectacular. His experience fronting major bands like Montrose is evident in his commanding stage presence and authentic performance.

If you didn't think you could turn the fire up any. Well one word Randy Scoles. Shut up I know it is two but go with it. Randy on the other hand, channels the spirit of John Fogerty with an uncanny accuracy that is both thrilling and nostalgic. His renditions of CCR classics such as "Bad Moon Rising" and "Fortunate Son" are so true to the originals that it’s easy to forget you’re listening to a tribute band. Randy’s vocal timbre and stage energy encapsulate the raw, rootsy essence of Fogerty's performances, leaving the audience spellbound. The audience went crazy non stop when Randy and Paul, Opps I mean Bob and John were singing.

I am by no means down playing the other band members. Good singers need great support. Larry Hart on bass, Harvey Baser on guitar,, and Johnny Dee Dengate on keyboards. Each member brings extensive experience, having performed with renowned artists such as Hank Thompson, Tesla, Blue Oyster Cult, and Foreigner. I want to mention the drummer Jeff Campitelli. He is a world class touring artist. Jeff, best known for his collaborations with Joe Satriani. He has played on most of Satriani's albums and is a frequent member of his touring band. Before Satriani's breakthrough in instrumental music he played with Joe Satriani in a band called The Squares. Campitelli has been selected by Rolling Stone magazine as the 50th greatest drummer of all time.

I am not singling out just Jeff's resume, all those artist from Journey Revisited Band to CCSeager all have this resume. The talent on that stage last night should be remembered as one of the great events in the valley and SHOULD be talked about for a long time to come.

I think what I find the most amazing thing about all these artist. You walk up to them and they will shake your hand and it is real. They are real and amazing people that you wish you can have over for a beer and pizza.

Ok then the headliner. Journey Revisited Band. The crowd was so fired up at CCsegeR Somehow Frank House was replaced by Steve Perry. If you say otherwise I will stand on my statement. Frank is such a talented artist, performer, and singer it is mesmerizing to watch him transform.

The energy at the concert reached a fever pitch after CC Seger's phenomenal performance. The audience, already electrified by Paul Holdgate's and Randy Scoles' crazy ass renditions of Bob Seger and CCR classics, was eagerly anticipating the headlining act. As Journey Revisited took the stage, the atmosphere was charged with excitement.

From the moment Frank House's stepped on stage and his voice soared through the venue, the crowd erupted into a collective frenzy. His uncanny ability to capture the essence of Steve Perry’s iconic vocals left everyone in standing screaming and singing. The opening notes of "Separate Ways" sent waves of exhilaration through the audience, and as Frank's powerful voice belted out the lyrics, it was as if the original Journey had transported us back to their glory days.

Journey Revisited kept the momentum high with flawless renditions of timeless hits like "Don't Stop Believin'," "Any Way You Want It," and "Faithfully." The band's precision and passion were evident in every note, and Frank’s vocal prowess anchored the performance, making it an unforgettable night. The seamless transition from CC Seger's nostalgic rock to Journey Revisited energetic set created a perfect harmony that kept the crowd on their feet, singing along and reveling in the music.

The night was a spectacular success, with both bands delivering performances that were nothing short of extraordinary. Journey Revisited, in particular, proved why they are hailed as one of the best tribute bands, leaving the audience exhilarated and longing for more.

Ok let's talk about the people who make it happen. NONE, I mean none of this could happen without a whole army of sound, light, roadies, stage crew and so many more I am just not aware of. I want to shout out to Michael Von Drake. This guy makes it happen. The good and the bad. He is tireless and watches everything is conductor for a major orchestra. I could never put into words what this professional does and the amount of love, dedication, and passion he has for the music and the artist.

The stage crew makes it possible for the artist, you make it possible for the whole thing to work. Without these crews would be no music. Thank them, they are easy to spot. Give them a tip. They deserve it
