The Kingston Trio - in Concert

I've been a Kingston Trio fanatic for a long time, and last weekend, we finally got to see them in concert. It was in a small venue (Chandler Center For The Arts), which meant there were no bad seats.

Alas, none of the original members are with the group anymore, so this is a second-generation line-up. One of the originals, Dave Shane, lives here in the valley, and made a guest appearance to sing two songs, including Tom Dooley. But his health is frail (we'll cut him some slack, since he's in his 70's), and after the second song, he headed back off-stage for some needed oxygen.

They sang all the hits (except The Reverend Mr. Black), and gave us 2 hours of music for $4o/ticket, so one can't complain. And I snagged a CD/DVD for $20.

All in all, a good concert, although I wouldn't put it in my "Top 5 Concerts Ever". Which seems like a good topic for another post, so start thinking about your own T5CE.
