Wow. What a show this was. It was scheduled to start at 9:00.
We took off from Dayton early, and stopped and had a nice
dinner. We still got there a bit too early - it was at the Crown
Plaza hotel, and they weren't taking tickets yet. So we took
a seat in the lobby outside of the ballroom where the show
was going to be. There were only a few people there, and
it seemed like they all had passes around their necks..
We said hello to a few folks, and then Foley shows up.
After speaking to his manager?, he comes over to us, and
apologies are offered - there was some problem, and the
show is going to start late. He then insists on buying us
drinks, and talks to us about George Harrison's passing.
What a great guy - the tickets were only $10 each,
so he lost most of what we paid him in buying us drinks.
We go in and watch the soundcheck and see that the band
consists of drums, Foley on bass and guitar, Bobbie Sparks
on keys, a DJ doin' some mixin' and scratchin' - and a
chamber orchestra (10 or 11 pieces?) This is going to be
cool...
After soundcheck, the DJ does his thang while the rest of
the band goes and does theirs. The place fills up nicely.
About 11:30! the show starts. Many technical problems,
no bass! - but the band lays down a groove.
Ok, it finally gets started. I'm terrible with setlists - and I didn't
recognize most of the stuff anyway - a lot of it was based on
what the DJ was spinning.. but a few Beatles songs were
played. In My Life, and I Am The Walrus - the orchestra
sounded great! Then back to some funky stuff that made me
want to dance. My body can't do it anymore (and besides,
I'm too white ;) - but I was dancing like a motherfucker in
my mind! Foley - I have to describe him. He was wearing
bib overalls, painted with pictures of Bob Marley, Miles,
Hendrix... very cool. A white shirt with the sleeves stretched
out past his hands, and a scarf/bandana around his head,
tied in the front. He looked to me like a cross between
Tupac Shakur and Ving Rhames. (I mean that in a good way!)
And he was dancing around, bouncing and jumping like
he was the happiest man on earth.
They did do Kashmir (for those of you who have the CDr),
and the Zep sample started with the DJ, and then the orchestra
kicked in, and it just kept building and building....  damn.
Foley can sing his ass off too. I think it all end around 1:45
when Foley announced he couldn't stand no more, or he would
go insane - and he plopped down looking totally drained.
Wow. We drove home, about a 1.5 hour drive, and I was
bouncing in my seat all the way.

Foley Rocks.
