KC and the Sunshine Band

[George Spellwin]

Ok, I'm going to date myself here, but I was in Atlantic City over the weekend, and I saw KC and the Sunshine Band in concert.

I liked them in the 70's, but had very low expectations for the show. I got to say, it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Any one else here old enough to remember them?

 

[SoloFlex]

You don't need to be old to rock out to KC!

Would I be lying if I said no?

Now I would really be losing it if I asked you who opened for them, Uriah Heap?

 

[big4life]

Did you break out the platform shoes and bell bottoms?


I remember them too George.

[George Spellwin]

The band was so good. He had two drummers, a complete horns section, three guitarists, and he was on the key boards. He also had for nearly naked babes dancing.

By the end of the show, even the 60 year olds with grey hair, who got comped tickets by the casino, were dancing.

After that, The Captain and Tenille.

I'd say the best concert I ever saw was Motley Crue, but Rage was good as hell though too, there downfall was that they only played about 45 minutes!!!

Don't you hate that -- or when they do not sing the songs you want to hear -- I saw Bowie once and he did that.

 

[Testosterone boy]

"Thats the way, uh huh uh huh. I like it."

SSME will correct me if wrong. I know he corrected a bor once.

Best music ever came from the 70's! So many truly great bands with staying power.

 

[obiwan9962]

Do you know the song "Country Girl" by CCR?

KC is awesome anytime they get played it gets people on the dancefloor. I would pay to see them.

White satin pants are flashing in my mind right now!

Dare I admit? I still have some of their vinyl stashed somewhere in my collection.

 

[George Spellwin]

Homo.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

 

[benevolent anarchist]

I saw him (them) in Ocean City, Maryland in 1984.

Even way back then they were way, way out of the current music scene at the time.

Yeah, but were they good? They were great this past weekend -- sounded like George Clinton.

You are just jealous cause Seashell was invited to my party and you weren't

 

[ChefWide]

Actually, I think she was credited on "The Wall",

And yes, I saw Dead shows deep into the triple digits... and seeing Ray Charles, B.B.King, Etta James, the Fabulous Thunderbirds all on the same night was pretttttty creamy.....

Hey! Obiwan! you werent working for R.D. at Washington Street were you?!?!? We should swap catering horrors some time... lol

Uncalled for.

 

[The_Ghost]

Uncalled for.

LOL, I am sorry that was mean

 

[benevolent anarchist]

Yeah, we enjoyed it. It was one of those spur of the moment things. We were driving along Ocean Highway and I looked up at the marquee on the Convention Center and we were like, “K.C. & The Sunshine Band, Huh?" We both laughed and then decided, "Okay, why not.” The girl I was dating at the time remembered them too, so we went and saw them and had fun.

[Monkey Pox]

Best concert going these days in Bjorn Again. They are like ABBA impersonators but they look and sing exactly like them, only better. It's a freakin' time warp. They pretend like they are them and after a while you believe them. The audience was so flipped out at the concert I went to. I'd never seen such a frenzied crowd, but then again, it was San Francisco.

 

[Heahy Minister]

Hmmm this must mean George is at least 60. Now we know more about him lol.
