When I first heard the announcement of the Foreigner/Whitesnake tour I found it to be a little odd at first. At a closer glance it makes all the sense in the world. Both bands were formed and came into prominence in the late 1970’s. Foreigner struck gold with their first album in the U.S. while Whitesnake did well in the UK. It took both bands a while to break through into the opposite territory. Foreigner 4 released in 1981 was the album that did it in the UK. As for Whitesnake and David Coverdale who were starving for U.S. success it finally happened slowly with Slide It In and their 1987 release skyrocketed to #2 on the Billboard charts. Continue reading

Steven Tyler and the Loving Mary Band kicked off Artpark’s 2018 Tuesday In The Park concert series last night. Boy did they ever. One thing that can be said about Tyler is that he never phones in a performance. At one point during his 90-minute set he even said he plans on rocking til he drops. The Loving Mary Band adds some country flavor to the Aerosmith catalog without making the songs lose their edge. Continue reading
