All concerts are bucket list concerts for me, but this one especially was.
For the first time, I finally saw both Extreme and Living Colour.
Sorry guys that it took me sooooooo long to see you, but hey better late than never.
Besides, if you look at this website, I’ve been busy.
Anyway, on with the concert.
Living Colour opened the show with a rocking 45 minute set.
The band consists of singer Corey Glover, guitarist Vernon Reid (P.S. Thanks Vernon for the shout out on Twitter/X), bassist Doug Wimbish, and drummer Will Calhoun.
These guys have been rocking since the 1980s and play all kinds of different styles of music. Everything from rock, funk, soul, hip hop, metal, it runs the gamut.
And they do it all very well.
I hope they will have a new alum next year. I know they’ve been working on one. I’ll definitely buy it.
Keep on rocking guys. You are awesome!!
Now onto Extreme.
Like Living Colour, Extreme’s music also runs the gamut in sound. But mostly, it just Rocks!!
Extreme still consists of singer Gary Cherone, guitarist Nuno Bettencourt (dare I say one of the best guitarists in the world), and bassist Pat Badger, and their drummer Kevin Figueredo has been with them since the 2000s.
Also like Living Colour, Extreme are still releasing great new albums, having put out one of my favorite albums of 2023, called Six.
What can I say? They just rock. They played for about 2 hours and 15 minutes and I loved every second of it.
Gary is a ball of energy, constantly moving and singing his heart out.
Nuno is by far one of the best there is on guitar and a great singer also.
And Pat and Kevin are a phenomenal rhythm section.
Go see both of these bands if you get a chance.
You will not regret it.
Thank you Extreme and Living Colour for all your great music, the great concert (I was dancing and rocking throughout) and I hope for more music from both in the future.
Love you all.
Also, I’m including the setlists below, like I always try to do, but I’ll preface by saying that throughout Extreme’s set, little snippets of Queen songs (We Will Rock You and Fat Bottomed Girls) and Van Halen songs (Eruption, Mean Streets, and Women In Love) were interspersed either before, during, or after some of their own songs.
Great stuff.
