My sister and I went to the State Theatre last night. My friend's band, Full Minute of Mercury, was opening for 80s "legend" Eddie Money. I figured it would be a fun show and also thought it would be nice to go and support my friend and his band. Sadly we got there "late" and only got to see the last three songs in Full Minute's set. The State Theatre website had said the show started at 8pm, but apparently it actually started at 7:30pm. All the same, it was fun to see Full Minute perform on a big stage. Certain members of the band really like to move around in what I will call a very "spirited" fashion and small stages are just too cramped for them. Hopefully if the State Theatre gets enough good feedback, Full Minute will get to play there again.
The main act, Eddie Money, was quite interesting. The only two songs I could remember by him were, "Take Me Home Tonight" and "Two Tickets to Paradise." Admittedly, the former is pretty high up there on my list of great 80s songs. But now, the guy is in his late 50s now and has gone through many a rehab. He certainly looked at many points during the show as if he were about to have a heart attack. All the same, the music was catchy and he still has a great voice. Plus, he plays the saxophone, so that's pretty cool.
The most amusing part of the evening was the fact that the crazy dancing guy from the Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers concert was there. He was just doing his thing, not giving a damn (or noticing) that everyone was looking at him kind of funny.
