Charlene bought me a ticket to go see Doc Walker with her, her sister and mom.
Willie Mac, from Texas, was quite entertaining as warm up acts go. He has this Elvis style leg shake and hip shake going on when he plays his guitar. That left leg just can’t stay still! You can’t help but watch him to see what he might do next!
DW had a varied set, an energy filled first couple of songs that lead into a long set of slower songs that I kinda recognized from the radio before stepping back up again with a medley of old rock and a Genesis song they remade. (I would let you know the titles of all these songs, but like I said, I don’t really know this Canadian band well.)
Charlene and I went straight from work almost so both of us were quite tired. But having it at the Winspear was good because I think the venue discouraged rowdy behaviour. Either that or the crowd was the tamest I’ve ever seen. (One couple was asked to sit down after getting up do slow dance in the aisle) Willie Mac leaned down to shake people’s hands in the front row and no one got off their seat or jumped up at all. One lady leaned forward on her seat to shake his hand. That’s indicative of the rest of the audience. The only time there was a lot of standing was the last couple of songs which the band asked the audience to stand and clap along.
