John Waite opened for Eddie Money and he was AWESOME! Totally enjoyed his performance. He did Missing You, of course and When I See You Smile and closed with a little song about a cafe and girl trying to become famous. I've got to see if I can find out that name of that song because I really liked it. (Sounded like something Shawn Mullins who sang Lullaby would sing)
Eddie Money started on time, which was nice because it's not usually the case. You know how you go to see a show and sit there forever waiting for the artist to make their way to the stage? Hate that. I was surprised to read that Eddie turned 60 yesterday because he looks a lot older, but still has a killer voice.
I have to admit, I'm not an album Eddie Money fan, meaning I don't know songs off his albums, only what we play on the radio but even when he was doing songs I didn't know, I found my foot tapping along. Loved when he picked up the sax- I'm a sucker for the sax.
But then something happened......Eddie's daughter, Jesse took the stage. She'd been there the whole time singing back up, but Eddie walked off and Jesse took over. It was all a little confusing. I wasn't sure if I was at a talent show or strip show. The girl is beautiful and really has a nice voice, but she needs to calm down. Seriously, the girl was gyrating and groping herself and at one point my guy asked if I had any dollar bills. I can see how the guys in the audience would enjoy the performance, but for me, it was a little too much. A couple people walked out during her part of the show. I don't know if it's true, but I've been told Jesse is to thank for getting Eddie back into the concert circuit and if that's the case; kudos, but she still needs to tone it down!
