I am so darn excited i can hardly contain myself, this is pure nostalgia for me, i last saw them perform in 1976 in provo utah, they did come down under to NZ a few years back and i was gutted i could not afford to go.
They are not coming to my city, but i will need to travel to rotorua about an hour and half away, i have real trouble planning anything because of health issues, but i am taking the risk this time, concert is not until dec 14th,but i got the tickets now as we are third row from the front, could have been in first row if i wanted, but too close for my liking.
However i heard the advert on the tv last night with them singing, and i have to say i was kinda disappointed, they sounded not good at all to me,like they really are past performing, only two original guys in the band, one that i used to like the blonde one with glasses,i was only 18 at the time and i guess they were around the same age or nearabouts looking at them, i just hope the live performance is better than the advert or i will be extremely disappointed.
Anyhow i am so looking forward to it, its my early 50th birthday pressie to myself,we might even stay a night if my son can come down and stay with melissa and take care of the kitties.
