I'm back - if you didn't catch Part 1, you don't want to miss it. Just scroll on down. I'll wait for you. OK, all caught up? Good. Here are a couple more bands that I'm itching to see once Big Brother says it's ok. Yes, they're been around forever, and yes, they haven't issued anything new for a few decades (at least that I want to hear). But if there was ever a good-time party band, it's the English Beat. I have seen them many times, and every time it has been great fun. And that's what we all need now, right? Give me an F, give me a U. Oh, and yes, give me an N. I was getting ready to say that I saw The Weeks last summer, but it was actually the summer of 2019. I swear to you, I will never let another year go by where I have to stay in my house. I don't have that many left! Anyway, I love this band. They rock hard, their songs are good, they put on a good show, and I'm jonesing to see them live again. I'm not a casino guy. But they were also banned by Big Brother, and I'm going to show some solidarity and give them a boost with this song. As for Wilco, they have a deep catalog, they're good live, and I have been listening to them during the pandemic. I'm tanned, rested and ready to go see them live once again. The last time that I saw the Killers, it was near the end of a lengthy tour for the band. Brandon Flowers was not in the best of voice. In fact, his voiced cracked a couple of times. Still, they give a great show and they rock it hard. I'm figuring that Brandon's voice is healed now since he hasn't been doing a ton of shows. These guys are, bar none, the best band from Las Vegas EVER! Well, at least the best band of Mormon guys from LV. A shout - out to a great band from Philly: Sheer Mag. They're the modern day equivalent of, say, Thin Lizzy. And I loved Thin Lizzy. Sure, Sheet Mag hase more substance up front, but they have a great guitar sound that translates well to live performances. And they aren't big enough to play some large venue and charge me over $100 per ticket. So it will be someplace intimate like Union Transfer, and something friendly on the wallet, like $20. OK, that does it for Part 2. I'll be back with more when I get the chance. It's weird that I'm cooped up inside and can't find time. But it's the darn truth.
