    Sounds like you had an awesome time and that it was a great show! I’m hoping to catch them live sometime this summer and/or fall.

      They're coming to Richmond at the end of this year, I'm hoping to maybe see them again! Thanks Emma.

    Sounds like you had a fantastic time at the concert just like when I saw them live. There were actually people of different ages there, I was probably the youngest.
    It was such an awesome show, I really hope they get more radio play as more people need to listen to their excellent music!

    Hey Sam, I was really looking forward to this one! I knew you had recently seen them. Fabulous review of their music and the show! I am really looking forward to seeing them in October with my son. This band has been growing on me at a tremendous rate. However, I am not ready to anoint them the next big thing. Hopefully if they keep going in the right direction, they will see great success. Take care.❤

    Sam I listened to the Essentials playlist on my Apple Music today. I’m very impressed with these guys. I’ll definitely be on the look out for their albums. Definitely hear some Beach Boys and I might be a bit nuts but I really thought I could hear some Beatles influence as well. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Glad you got your see them. Take care and hope you have a great week. 🫶🏻👊🏼🍻

      @@samstjohn1994 yes I thought it was kind of funny you mentioned that there were no older people at the concert. I’m 54 years old and if they come close to Oklahoma City or Tulsa, I will probably try to go see them.

    Thanks for the review, Sam. This is a great group. A real throwback! As you mentioned, I would add Todd Rundgren to their list of influences. The new album is their best!

    Glad you got to see this group in concert and have a fun time with your partner. Thanks for taking the time to post a review of the concert and the album. Sorry to say I'm not a big fan of the new album. Although it sounds great, and provides lots of ear candy, I can't get past the fact that it seems to me to be a lot of complex arraingments of very mediocre songs. And I think I made a comment on Alex's channel one time that their previous album was ok, but that some of the songs seemed wriitten for 14 yr old girls. I think that may have offended him. But I can see how someone who loves Pet Sounds would like this album. So I appreciate your review because it's nice to know how an album like this comes across in a live performance.

      I appreciate you commenting. We all have opinions on music and we can't all agree on things. I just look at it as fun pop rock music, which is fine by me! Thanks for watching!

      Yeah, I was talking to my friend Tommy today and he made the comment that their first couple of albums are more Sparks like. The last two are very Beach Boys and Byrds influenced. Let me know what you end up thinking when you get into them!
