kevins_concertsWe had free tickets to Summerfest, so we went. Saturday afternoon. They had these School of Rock kids playing all over the place early in the afternoon. Most of them weren't very good. I was reminded that while you can get really good at playing the guitar, having a good voice is not something you can learn.
So we sat through Substitute, a Who tribute band. They were OK, as far as tribute bands go. The music was great, but that's because The Who is great. The lead singer had a voice that was kind of in the same ballpark as Roger Daltrey, but he didn't have the range. And Daltrey isn't someone I'd say has a lot of range. The guitarist sang Pete's songs, and he did OK there. They didn't have a keyboardist onstage, so all of the keys, synth and violins were prerecorded. And the horns were nonexistent. The sound could have been mixed better. Other than that, it was great!
After that, we walked the park again, and left.
