BARENAKED LADIES
AT
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA.

Everybody wants to see a bare naked lady!! How much would you be willing to pay for this privilege? Well, the bay area had their chance to see a whole group of Barenaked Ladies this last wednesday night at the Shoreline Amphitheatre. The seats were all full and the lawn was about one fourth filled, a fairly decent turnout in an industry that is constantly suffering the damage of the ever rising concert ticket price. However, this show was very reasonably priced and certainly worth the cost of admission. The Barenaked Ladies will be rocking through the northwest and then off through ski country and on to the midwest. They will be finishing up with a bare naked romp through the south and a final blastoff on the east coast in Philly. Don't miss this tour, this band has the talent to match their means. They are fantastic performers, a well rounded band that delivers.The show was opened by Guster who encouraged the audience to come and meet them after the set, to get some autographs and hang out with the band. The line was quite long, so I figure the music left a good impression on the crowd. Ample time was left for psyching up the mind frame for the headliner as the Barenaked Ladies didn't come on stage until around 9:00 pm. The band came out in explosive style as they jumped from amidst the middle of this giant mouth. This mouth was on the face of their giant stage prop which resembled no creature that I've ever seen, some kind of alien Felix the Cat thing.
The Barenaked Ladies have been together for almost a decade now. But, they achieved instant fame and fortune with the success of their quadruple platinum selling release "Stunt" in 1998. Their hot new single "Pinch Me" is is also a music video and the #3 track on the Barenaked Ladies latest release "Maroon" which is now available everywhere. With plays on many different musical genre, this band has found its own very unique sound that has already grabbed quite a following. Jump on the bus, there's plenty of room. You're either on the bus or you are off the bus. So, get on the bus, Gus, and go see the Barenaked Ladies when they come to your town. Oh hey, unless you bring them to the concert yourself, you are not likely to see any naked women. Thanks for reading and we'll see ya at the shows.
