Brian Setzer Orchestra Christmas Extravaganza

[roburado]

Just got back from the Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas Extravaganza show here in Detroit. Good stuff. Heck of a lot of fun.

Woot!! I'm going to see him on the 16th .. 2nd year in a row. I love Brian Setzer. He (and the band) put on an amazing show. Rockabilly aint dead in my book
How sick is his bass player!! Ggeeeeyaaah

 

[roburado]

This was my first time seeing him. The whole band is sick!

 

[Jodizzle]

Didn't you just want to jump out in the aisle and start swinging? Did you know that one of the girl back up singers (red head) is his wife?? He has a house out here and has been spotted several times in the local grocery store. Gotta apreciatte the skill and talent by every member.

Brian Setzer is a monster player...just awesome stuff. He gets played in my car quite frequently.

Jodizzle you are so right...rockabilly is far from dead...especially in Setzers hands.

His version if Sleepwalk is a personal favorite of mine.

 

[roburado]

Yeah. Definitely music that induces a certain amount of booty shaking. If I had any clue about swingin' I might have been doing it.

 

[roburado]

Listening to "Dig That Crazy Christmas" right now. Lovin' his "My Favorite Things."

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

He is simply awesome! I just got the DVD that is live in Japan. He opens with 'Hawaii 5-O' !

 

[Jodizzle]

Last year he opened with the James Bond theme and went into "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch"
Brasco: I'm a sucker for 50's appreciation .. glad you feel the same way.

Dig that crazy Santa Claus!!

I was also at the Detroit show... absolutely killer. Whilst I wasn't swingin' out (can't dance), there were plenty of people in front of us who were... some even dressed in 50ish clothes. I haven't been to a concert like that since seeing the beach party that is Jimmy Buffet.
