TREMENDOUSLY DIVERSE
by ChazNYC on 2/17/25The Capitol Theatre - Port ChesterRating: 5 out of 5What a great, special show!! If it comes to your town, BUY!!!!
I was shocked that this Port Chester event at the Capitol Theater on Fri 2/14 (Valentine's Day) was not sold out, though it still was well attended. Many were drove up from NYC (as the Sat night show at SONY was sold out); well worth the 35 minute drive from Queens.
All performers shared the stage so well and so easily (so THEM!), but Jimmy Vivino stole the show with "21st Century"and "Shotgun". Bill Murray sang as Bill does, and was having a ball; Mike Zito (joined at some point by the "new guy", his son Zach) was his usual stellar self; and Albert Castiglia found his time to riff like only Albert can. They'll be back individually at NYC's Iridium at some point (perhaps one of them will join that night's lead for a song). Three awesome musicians!!!
PS - a couple of negative lightbulbs to the lighting guy at the Capitol, for not properly lighting the leads as they riffed, kinda left them in the shadows. No biggie, but it stuck out as a miss. The sound system BTW was great, we sat in the 3rd row of the Loge RC (only three rows in it), dead center, awesome seats. The Capitol staff & bartender's were great, free street parking very near.
NOTE: Blues Travelers will be there May 29th for a fund raiser - We're IN!!
