 4/28/2017 - Niagara Falls, New York - We headed west today to Niagara Falls, New York to Seneca Niagara Casino to take in the Night Of Symphonic Rock tour. We arrived in time to grab a quick steak dinner at TGI Fridays across from the casino. Deb snagged the tickets in a two for one deal and they were pretty good 15 rows back right center stage. The show opened with Survivor singer Robin McCauley coming out for a couple numbers that included what I think was the beat number of the night a cover of Zeppelin's Kashmir accompanied by the orchestra. He also covered his Survivor hit Eye Of The Tiger. Next up was the great vocals of Berlin lead singer Terri Nunn who played her epic Top Gun hit Take My Breath Away. The next act up was Mickey Thomas of Starship who played some his bands hits like We Built This City. He was followed by the headliner who was Rochester's own Foreigner lead singer Lou Gramm. He came out and played on good tunes from his band like Feels Like The First Time, Juke Box Hero and closed the show joined by everybody for a jam on Hot Blooded. An okay show that could have been better I thought betters song selections could have enhanced the symphony portion of the Symphonic Rock show. After the show we headed to the casino for a tax deductible contribution and then back home since I still did not receive my passport and we had to cancel our plans to stay overnight in Canada, next time..Slideshow |
