Growing up my family has always been about sharing the past with the present. If you were to turn on 98.9 or any other "Oldies" radio station, I'm positive that i would know the words to every song and who sings it. Because of this exposure to oldies music from my parents i was so excited when "Three Dog Night" came to Grand Island.
The concert was so good, and they sounded amazing. One of the lead singers stopped at one point at told the audience that this was the first time that all of them had been together on the same stage in over 40 years. They played there popular music and some of the songs that were never released. The concert was perfect except for one small thing. The audience.
Granted i knew going to it that i was going to be one of the youngest people there but i had no idea that "older folks" could get so...nasty. I have never seen old people dumb and grind, or that many at one place. It was very disturbing.
Yet besides the crazy messy dancing, flying beer, and screaming, that concert was very well put together. They played the music and entertained the audience like they would have back in the prime (the 60-70s).
They are the kind of band that's music will forever live through history as "rememberal" tunes. Songs like "One, Black and White, Momma told me not to come, Never been to Spain, and An old fashioned love song."
If you don't know there music, take the time to go back through history and understand why they made that older generation feel like they were back in the 70s.
