Concert Review: KC & The Sunshine Band

Last night, closing out it's Free Summer Concert Series, Oldies 103.3 Boston FM presented KC and the Sunshine band, FREE at the Hatch Shell.

If you didnt catch this before, this concert was Free. $0. No money!

I can definitely say that this concert was well worth the price of admission.

The hatch shell is a fun venue to go to a concert, providing the weather is good. Last night, the weather was spectacular! We also got good spots on the lawn thanks to friends that had been there before saving a spot. We let them use our blanket, it was a fairly even exchange.

We blew bubbles, I like blowing bubbles.

Now, about the concert. The opening band was a band called.. I think.. Hole in a House? Hole in the Wall? Ball in a Hole? Balls to the Walls?? Anybody know?? Whatever. They were pretty great. They were a capella and did all the instrumentals with their mouths, including, but not limited to: drums. (Perhaps limiting to, I cant remember any other instruments)

They sang covers and some original stuff. I really liked the covers! They were fun to sing along to.

Next was the leading band, KC and the Sunshine Band. I think they also did some covers because last time I checked they didn't sing every single popular disco song in the 70's. I could be wrong though. I am no expert.

The concert was, for the most part, very upbeat and dancey. And I did a lot of dancing. Most had an easy melody to get into so even if you didn't know the song it was easy to pretend. There were four dancers. One of the dancers was good! They also sang, and some of them could really wail. I really have a lot of respect for strippers who are triple threats.

For a brief period they slowed it down. This gave me an opportunity to use a new applications I downloaded on my iPhone which is essentially a virtual lighter to hold up during slow songs. The lead singer tried really hard on these songs to not sound horrible, and his effort clearly was there! He was trying really hard. The dude was also really funny, especially when he made fun of himself.

We didn't catch the very end of the show because we wanted to beat the rush, but a lot of other people stayed for THE WHOLE THING! so I bet the rest of it was good!!

For being a Free concert on the Hatch Shell, and giving me an oppurtunity to dance like an asshole and blow bubbles, I declare that the KC and the Sunshine Band concert was a 1/2 Glass FULL of Disco Deliciousness.

Yay!
