Thanks. I was stumped, so I had to search for quotes.

That's really cool Melis! You'll have to tell us how they are.

I’m back and was not impressed. They were not as good as the last band I saw. This guy had the look and some of the moves, but his voice wasn’t good. He wasn’t very good at getting the audience involved.

Bummer. I am sorry it wasn't as good.

That’s okay. I still enjoyed the getaway.

There was a kid in the same row as me. Probably eleven. He was into it. Love to see young people into older music.

Sorry the show wasn't as enjoyable as you wanted Melis, for a good Queen cover band, I think a necessity is how well their 'Freddie' channels the crowd and builds up the energy.
I'm glad there was at least one young person enjoying the better era of music though.

Oh yeah, I agree with you. He wasn't very good at getting the crowd going. He'd ask people to get their butt up, but most people just looked at him like he was crazy.

At first I thought that kid was just there because his mom made him, but he seemed to like it.

Yeah, I have to say I wasn't much older than that kid when I got into Queen. So I relate to his wanting to be there.

It's always good to see young people who have a love for music that isn't their generation.

I think he had Queen t-shirt too.

There were a lot of old people at this show.
