Boc: BOC Cleveland Ohio Show

[gary shindler]

I regret not seeing the Brain Surgeons on their last tour and I guess that won't happen with Albert, Ross and Deb now.

Yah, sad to say this is par for the course nowadays.
Since they became 2ÖC I've quit going to their shows,
including a free concert right in my hometown last year!
Better to remember them as they were, I'm afraid...

Took me awhile to get to reply....

I was horribly disappointed in the show. I've seen them many many times and
they were always top form, tight and professional.
This time the band seemed to be "going through the motions".
This was a rescheduled show from a canceled Dec. gig, so maybe they were
tired or didn't want to be there. Either way. The band didn't seem to be on
the same page.
Weird song selections too.
Golden Age Of Leather?
Shooting Shark?
No Astronomy.
Please, please, please stop with the Burning For You.
Godzilla turned into a huge sing along and then some weird solo noodlings
that had nothing to do with the song.
Sad to see they're a shell of what they used to be.
On a positive note, I took my son, who's 26. He's only familiar with the
radio play stuff.
His favorite song this night was Last Days Of May. 
Kid's got good taste.
