Twenty five years after I first saw The B-52s’ “Legal Tender” video on MTV, I finally caught the band live in concert. My first reaction when the band came out with their latest album, “Funplex,” in the spring of 2008 was that, “They really shouldn’t still be making music this good.”
Unlike Madonna, The B-52s have stayed small and true to their roots and their original identity.
And their show last night in LA was no exception.

LAS VEGAS, NV --
OK, so… this past weekend, I finally caught Madonna;s “Sticky & Sweet” concert tour – my first time seeing her in Vegas. Yes, I know it seems like old news by now – but hey, it’s been a busy news week.
This is my fourth Madonna tour since 2001 – I caught “Drowned World” (2001) and “Re-Invention” (2004) in New York, and “Confessions” (2006) in LA.
I’m not used to being the last fan on the block to see her live, but I also didn’t want to see the show in the outdoors environment of LA’s Dodgers Stadium. Maybe that was smart (it was a cold night, and her stage had problems being set up), but maybe it wasn’t (I missed Britney and Justin, who I had hoped would’ve been there in Vegas too!)
They weren’t there, but who cares? — It was Vegas baby!

In a show defined by throbbing dance music, tight choreography, spectacular stage sets and stunning visuals, perhaps the most stirring moment during the kickoff concert to Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour came when the Material Girl stood onstage with just her guitar and a few musicians for an acoustic set.

OK, this is probably not gonna be a very popular post. Let’s face it, an increasingly smaller and smaller group of people actually care about dance / electronic remixes nowadays. There was a glimmer of hope back at the turn of the 21st century, when dance music almost got “cool” again, but it was quickly eclipsed. Sure, every once in a while the occasional Paul Oakenfeld mix crosses over, but dance ain’t what it used to be.
Still, I’m a big fan of the genre. And believe it or not, Billboard still tracks it on their Singles Charts.
