Bad Company is alive and well and you need to go see them. That may be hard with only 13 US dates scheduled but it's well worth it. For those of you wondering how classic rock started, here's your answer -- Bad Company!. There is no better way to explain/show what classic rock is or how a classic band performs than watching Bad Comapny on stage. After 37 years, these guys still rock. Drummer Simon Kirke hasn't lost a beat; guitarist Mick Ralphs still has his chops (even though he doesn't run around on stage any more) and Paul Rogers voice is better than ever.
The Thunder Valley venue is great. Open air, under the stars, with vendors open well after the show ends. Plenty of time to score tour merchandise and feed your munchies.
The stage setup was clean and simple which allowed you to concentrate on the band and the music. They opened with Can't Get Enough and then proceeded to play almost evey hit they ever had. The crowd loved it and became the bands backup singers with Paul letting the crowd sing alot of the vocals in many of the songs. I'm not saying the band is too powerful but they actually blew the Sound and Light System power, twice, early ing the show. Like true professionals, they continued the show acapella the first time and with a drum solo the second time until the power was restored.
Like the band, this show was a part of Rock and Roll history.

Favorite moment: Blowing the Sound and Light System power, TWICE!! @
Opening act(s): A Local band opened and they really did not have the stage presence for this level of show. @
