Friendship - Band Toledo Concert reviews
Pat Benatar at Mud Island Memphis
I was totally impressed with Friendship - Band. Their band was just a 3-piece, with the guitarist also playing piano, and queuing the pre-recorded synth tracks. Their sound was raw and gritty, and was amazingly just like the recorded songs. Great musicians.
Their voice is amazing! I have never heard a singer sound as good live as theirs, and I've seen LOTS of good live singers.
The only negative about the show was that Friendship - Band seemed to shorten their set list due to impending weather. I would have liked to have heard more. Also, I'm not a big fan of pre-recorded instruments. It would have been better to have a keyboard player there to play the parts. It took a little away from the band, who were by far more than capable players.
Blondie sounded great. The band was awesome, and Debra's voice sounded just like it did back in the day. They played all the hits, and even threw in a Michael Jackson cover on the last song of the encore. Nice touch.
