Geez-Fest (Jack Fest) 2007

The first of a string of shows. This was Geez-Fest (aka, Jack Fest) at the Baltimore Arena (or whatever the call it now). As mentioned in previous posts, the line up was Stray Cats, Pretenders, REO Speedwagon, and ZZ Top. Below are pictures of the bands and some of the more remarkable members of the audience. Chris and I went and we got in for basically half price. A couple of decent seats, 11th row on the floor for $40 each. The face must of been around $80 each after all the charges. With seats like these, I'll never use Ticketmaster again!


Stray Cats! Really just Brian Sitzer in the pictures




Brian and the standup Bass player, with the Bass player on top of his Bass.






The Pretenders. They put on a great act, and Chrissy Hiend still sounds GREAT!

REO Speedwagon put on an excellent performance! Chris wasn't looking forward to seeing them (he has some weird, teenage post traumatic stress, something or other) but he really liked them.


That Lil' Ole Band from Texas put on a great gig. They didn't try to do anything out of the box, stuck with the Greatest Hits disc. And that's what we all came to see. I was telling Chris that I had seen them at least half-dozen times. Chris found this rather unbelievable! I don't seem like the ZZ Top kind of guy.










This is some of the audience. The bald guy is a piece of work. He had about 100 piercings, you can't tell but his earrings were these huge loops that went through his ear lobe. The couple were big time into the Stray Cats! Who knew that such fans were out there, but they would say the same about my Springsteen obsession.


Next show is the first of the Counting Crows shows on Sunday!
