Rally 10 attendees will appreciate this.....
- Thread starter Sinovac
- Start date
Aside from the negativity running in this thread, we all had a fantastic time, and got to enjoy a great concert, small venue (the same place at the closing R10 dinner, the back function room), with only 250 people, and an added bonus got some $ to JDRF to boot.

Mic Jones was there . It wasn't a tribute band
Gary your knowledge is not quite accurate
The fact is we had a wonderful time with some great people
Sometimes saying less is more....
We also got to meet Stewart Young and Phil Carsons
I'm sure you know who those imposters are!

Guys, No intent to disparage the band. Seriously. I think they are great. I'm envious I wasn't there. I still want to know what love is. Foreigner is at least partially responsible for my tinnitus.
I apologize for bumming you out. My only intent was to point out the video gives misplaced credit for the multi-platinum albums and hits. Kelly Hansen does a dead-on Lou Gramm, but he wasn't there for the glory days.
I know who Phil Carson is. Don't know who Stewart Young is.
This is kind of interesting. What it takes to keep a band together for 40 years. Unless you're the Rolling Stones. The only constant is Mick Jones. It's good to know he's still hanging on.

Susan and I were fortunate enough to attend the acoustic set the Monday before the Rally as well. I have seen tons and tons of gigs in my life and even though the only surviving member is Mick they did not pretend to be anything but what they were. (Accompaniments to Mick Jones) They admitted whole heartedly to the audience that he was the only original member of the band and were genuinely grateful to be on stage with him and have the opportunity to bring these tunes to those who loved the music. Very humble and talented musicians in my estimation. Everyone who attended the show enjoyed it tremendously for the music they played, the stories they shared and the cause it benefitted. To be honest the thing I will take away from that experience the most is meeting Phil Carson. Rock & Roll Legend.

This reminds me of another great band (Styx) and their hit "Too Much Time on My Hands", lol.
Seriously though, Gary- nice graph. I knew what you were getting at, and know your sense of humor well enough by now to appreciate it. BTW, I saw Tommy Shaw/Styx perform last month and they still sound amazing, too. And yes, I know Tommy isn't original to Styx either (though he is to that song), so don't go there!

Heh. The graph is from Wikipedia. I have no time on my hands now that 30 cubic yards of mulch has been dumped in my yard.
Id say there is a bunch of us here that are glad to hear that!
This is Phil.One of the nicest gentleman I have ever met! A real great guy!

I love you too Ron, even when you are 90 degrees out, but obviously with a chilled chest. Contact high?
Who is Stewart?

There he is. What a cool cat. He's had some part in every big European Rock band over the last 50 years sans the Beatles and the Stones. (Zepplin, The Who, AC/DC .....) He's the guy that really befriended all of us, Ron especially, and allowed us to attend. So rad.

Stewart Young is Phil's assistant and goes back with him to the Zepplin days Gary. He did a ton on the London Summer Olympics and helped put together Jimmy Page's part in all of that.
