ONSKI'S WORLD

I was unable to attend the Wednesday night Living Colour concert but I did manage to score the set list from Sonay who I met at the Tuesday Concert . He along with Claudia, who are part of the band Lucys Crown , grabbed Vernon Reid's set list and passed on the details to me so I can share with you.

LIVING COLOUR CONCERT REVIEW Metro Melbourne 18/05/2006 Two times in three days, Doug, Will, Corey and of course Vernon have rocked my world. Tuesday I saw the Living Colour storm hit town with a torrential downpour of hard rock. Last night the hurricane swirled through the Metro in Melbourne for what was another mind blowing musical display by the fella’s from New York. Last night I hit the town with three others in tow, my main man Big 'Mad Dog' Dan, Jo and Theresa. All three like Living Colour (thanks to me), not their number one band, but they like the music. Now what can I say that I didn’t in my previous review? ( Don’t forget to read the Tuesday review it is awesome ) Can a band really put on a completely different show within a short space of time? An everyday band would just produce a carbon copy of their first show. True musical genius’ would mix it up with passion, power and pumping songs, and that is exactly what the Living Colour genius did last night.

Thursday 18th May 2006, Bourke Street, Melbourne Big Mad Dog Dan on the 19th May 2006, while attending the Living Colour concert at the Metro Nightspot in Melbourne caught Will Calhoun’s drumstick. This blog is to celebrate the official handing over of the drum stick to Living Colour’s number #1 fan, ME. Cheers Mad Dog, your the man!!

LIVING COLOUR CONCERT REVIEW Metro Melbourne 16/05/2006 I will start with 'Oh my god!!!' I will second that with 'Oh my god, oh my god!!!' Last night in bed I couldn't sleep, I was excited about the up and coming Living Colour concert I was going to on Thursday night. For the past 16 years I have been waiting for this day, you see I missed out on their concert back in 1990 as I wasn’t really aware of them and just got onto them after that concert came and went. In the 90's they broke up and my dream was gone.... Then a few years back Living Colour broke the separation and got it on... There was hope for me to see them once again. But realistically I had no hope, they were doing the US rounds, and the occasional European rounds but it seemed that Oz wasn’t on the radar. That was until a couple of weeks back I saw, just by chance in the Herald Sun, the news I had been waiting for, Living Colour were coming to town. I do have to give credit where credit is due. A
