No Blues Here

 Row 4.  Dead Center.  Ponchos Provided.   The Blue Man Group (http://www.blueman.com/) did not disappoint.  I've been listening to the PVC percussionists for years in the comfort of my own home, and finally got the opportunity to see them live.  This is performance art at its best, and these guys are creative, spontaneous, think on their feet, and the production of the show was outstanding.  

They played drums cascading with paint, glowing airpoles, the drumbone, the tubes all in a row glowing first white and then with color.  The music was fantastic and they are inspirational.  They had a backup group of 4 rocking it out with them up above discretely tucked behind screens. The show was surprisingly funny and full of art and humor. I want to put together some pvc pipes and break it down with some foam paddles.   Strobes, black lights, marshmallows, vortexes, statues that dance with dizzying speed and light, reams of tissue paper, gallons of paint, gumballs, video art, audience participation.  This show was a blast. Two thumbs way up.   If you get a chance, take it.
