Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park played host to the 2015 Last Summer on Earth Tour on July 12. A group of great musicians playing, interacting and having fun with concert-goers who were there with the intention of having fun was memorable indeed.
The music was brilliant, the venue
was great and no one seemed bored. It was everything a summer outdoor concert
should be.
Colin Hay of Men at Work opened with a short set. He was followed by the Violent Femmes. Then, Barenaked Ladies took the stage ... the
crowd roared.
Why the name, Last Summer on Earth Tour? "It is not a doomsday prediction; it's a call to
action,” says Barenaked Ladies' band leader Ed Robertson in a press release.
“We sincerely hope this won't be the Last Summer on Earth, but just in case,
we're going to ROCK like it is!!"
When all was said and done, I forgot just how much
you smile at a Barenaked Ladies concert. It was most refreshing to see performers
onstage enjoying themselves just as much as those in attendance.
