One of my first favorite bands. Their album Joy to the World – Three Dog Night – Their Greatest Hits was the first album I ever bought. I remember taking it to school when I was in 5th grade and my teach was somewhat of a hippie who had a record player in the classroom and played music during class. His favorite artists at the time to play were Jim Croce and The Carpenters, but he let us listen to my Three Dog Night album which was awesome.
They put on one hell of a show. Much better than I had anticipated as many times the older the band, the more challenging it is for them to sound “like they used to”, but these guys hit it spot on, song for song they played all of their hits and it brought me back to the playground of my 5th grade youth. I realize that their line-up has changed a bit, but between Danny Hutton (Vocals) and Michael Allsup (on guitar), they brought back all that vibe from so many years ago.
My favorite songs of the night were (my all time favorite) Never Been to Spain and of course One, Mama Told Me Not to Come, Play Something Sweet and of course Joy to the World which was their final encore song of the night.
