The Guess Who Concert

The Guess Who is by far one of my all time favorite bands. They are amazing on all scales. My scale system goes like this. I have three scales, friendliness, overall sound, and stage presence/ performance. The overall sound is pretty well self explanatory. If they sound good they get a good rating, the better they sound the higher the rating. The stage presence/ performance is the show they put on. For example, in the Rain concert the musicians dressed up in costumes like the Beatles. This category does not mean they have to wear costumes, if they dance around and get the crowd going they can get a good rating, like the Village People. If they just stand there like Danny of Three Dog Night they don't rate very high. Now, the friendliness scale is how friendly they are to fans and people in general. A lot of times after a concert I have the opportunity to meet the musicians. I have met the Guess Who, America, Los Lobos, Mark Stein of Vanilla Fudge, the Lovin Spoonful, John Secada, and the musicians that perform with Bonnie Tyler, and others. I have seen the Guess Who perform twice, once at Magic City Casino in Miami and once at the Pompano Beach Seafood Festival. Both shows were both amazing, which actually is quiet surprising since people in general usually remember good things to be better than they actually were and they end up disappointed when it happens again because it wasn't as good as remembered. I got to mee and talk with them both times. Leonard, the keyboard/ organ player of the second generation, remembered me from the first time we met. They were all very friendly, they didn't have that "I'm better than a rockstar" attitude that a lot of musicians have. I got them to take a picture with the band I photograph, Viva. The first time I saw the Guess Who perform I only knew a few of their songs like "No Time" and "American Woman". Almost every song they played I enjoyed listening to. The second time I watched them perform, which was at the Seafood Festival, I knew every song they played. What I really enjoy is they don't play any new songs, I wouldn't mind maybe one or two. Each show is different, even though the play the same songs.
