For my birthday last month, my wife Pattimarie surprised me by getting us tickets to see the Blue Man Group, who is courrently on their "How to be a Megastar" tour across the US. I had been woanting to see BMG for years ever since I saw a video of one of their stage shows, but it seemed like they were always playing in Vegas or LA, or NYC. Well, I got my big chance to see them last night, and I have to say it was perhaps the wildest and most fun "concert" I have ever been to!
They had an eight piece backup band that was as good as any rock band I've heard, but the "percussion" is what it's all about with the BMG. The things and objects they could "play" and the sounds they got out of them, in perfect rhythm and tune with the music, was nothing short of incredible! They also had three large screens in back of the stage that showed some really funny and funky videos that accompanied the music generated by BMG. And they got a great deal of "audience participation" as well!
It was the fastest (and most fun) two hours I think I've spent in the last 10 years! Folks, if you ever hear of the Blue Man Group appearing anywhere near where you live, I highly recommend dropping the bucks for a ticket and experience these three guys. Well worth the time and money!
