The Best Bob Show Ever!

Last night we went to a DVD taping of Bob Schneider at the Paramount Theater. It was the BEST Bob show I've ever seen. Mike agreed with that too. It is not a secret that I am IN LOVE with Bob. Always have been. If I hadn't met Mike, well... one can only imagine. I am not alone in this lust for Bob. You should hear the conversations women have about him in the ladies room! Okay, back to the show.

I purchased the tickets the day they went on sale and got orchestra level center seats in row S. Not bad on the seating chart. However when we arrived we were sitting right next to the recording equipment and the whole management team for the recording was right behind us. We knew after the first two songs that they were going to talk through the entire show so we asked if they could have us reseated. Which they very kindly did. To row D - just 4 rows from the stage!

We were on the left side near Harmony, the long-legged base player who must have been wearing a wig because real hair just doesn't look that way. It was impossible to not stare at her legs and be jealous that she can get away with such a mini skirt.

Bob has a new CD coming out this spring. I hope the DVD gets released at the same time - it will be cool to watch this show again. The whole show was 2 1/2 hours with the first hour mostly being his older music and the second half dedicated to his new material. The new stuff is really. really good. Bob played the only Christmas song he has written - "All I want for Christmas is my Methadone" and I guess because this was a recording session for a spring release he didn't play any of the traditional Christmas tunes that you'd expect at a holiday show. The Tosca String Quartet played in the background as did 3 horns for some of the songs and the usual Jeff Plankenhorn on guitar and Rafael Gayol on drums.

Excellent show. Can't wait for the CD/DVD!!
