Blues Traveler
Prince Of Wales Bandroom, St Kilda 15/4/2009 (review)
Blues Traveler
Blues Traveler have a long and varied history showing up in all kinds of places including 1994’s Woodstock, support act to the Rolling Stones, The Late Show (David Letterman’s favourite band) and even in an episode of Roseanne.
Tonight was also to be a night of variety with their setlist not only drawing from their latest album ‘North Hollywood Shootout’, but also earlier hits including “But Anyway”, “Run Around” and “Hook”. Throw in a cover of Cheap Trick’s “I Want You to Want me” and a blistering version of “The Devil Went down to Georgia” and you’ve got most genres covered.
Whilst sometimes drifiting off into ‘jam’ land and perhaps a tad bit excessive, the small but dedicated crowd was nonetheless greatly impressed and appreciative.
