Feel The Noize of the Train Train: Quiet Riot and Blackfoot Concert Review

  • Date of Concert: July 9, 2022
  • Location of Concert: Caesar Ford Park in Xenia, OH
I went to another PHENOMENAL concert.
Blackfoot is a famous southern rock band from the 70s that now Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Rickey Medlocke used to be the singer/guitarist/leader of it.
Since he’s so busy with Skynyrd, Medlocke, who owns the name Blackfoot, for the last several years, has hired new musicians to carry on the band and music.
The guys he has put together for this incarnation of the band are AMAZING!!
Lead singer Kenny Lawrence, lead guitarist Drew Spencer, lead guitarist Stuart McConnell, bassist Chief Spires, and drummer Dave Somerville.
Usually, I would not like something like this but in this instance, I love it.
The band is great. The songs are great. That’s good enough for me.
And they do have a new album coming so I’m excited about that.
I was able to shake the singer Kenny’s hand. Very cool!!
Go see them if you get a chance.
You won’t regret it (Edit:  Since this writing, this iteration of Blackfoot is no more and Rickey Medlocke, who again owns the band name, may be performing Blackfoot songs with his own band in 2024).
Now to Quiet Riot. The band consists of lead singer Jizzy Pearl, guitarist Alex Grossi, returning bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Johnny Kelly.
Kevin Dubrow and Frankie Banali will always be missed but this band still kicks butt and delivers the goods.
I still support them and I’ll continue to.
Thank you guys for keeping the music alive.
I live for nights like this.
