Title: Blue Man Group
Post by: videoholic on November 13, 2003, 07:44:12 AM: Any of you seen the Blue Man Group\'s Complex Rock Tour?

Went to it a couple nights ago. I have to tell you, it was one hell of a show. The music sounded fantastic and the artistic elements they bring to the plate really kicked butt. I had a blast.

Honestly if they come to a city near you it is a definite must see.

Funny thing is that I think a lot of the people that went had no clue it was a rock tour. They just thought it was going to be some people in face paint banging on PVC. They had 3 guitars, 3 percussionists, a drummer, a keyboard, plus the three of them. They sounded great and it was loud as shit.

There were all kinds of old people in the audience who had no freaking clue what to expect. IT was funny.

Post by: videoholic on November 13, 2003, 06:12:11 PM: Venus Humm is touring with them, but was not playing the night I was there. Oh well.

There really isn\'t anything spectacular about them, they just put on a very entertaining show.

Oh and Racer, I was over-exaggerating I\'m about 15 minutes away from the strip. I live in the most northeast part of Vegas.

They came through Austin in August I believe. By the time I heard about it had been sold out for quite a while. I even tried winning some tickets off of the radio stations but I failed...:crying:

Anyway, I\'m trying to talk my friends in to going to Vegas this coming spring or summer. Do they still perform there?

Post by: SwifDi on November 15, 2003, 10:36:32 AM: Yes. At the Luxor; the big pyramid.

Post by: Ginko on November 15, 2003, 10:39:36 AM: Oh...the Luxor is nice but I don\'t think I\'d stay there. Mandalay Bay is more my style, plus there\'s a tram going through the two.

Thank you, SwifDi

Post by: SwifDi on November 15, 2003, 10:45:15 AM: You\'re a good man, Mandalay Bay is my favorite on the strip. The tram works out really nice as well.
