We went out on Saturday night to a fantastic concert organised by Alice Cooper for his charity, the Solid Rock foundation, which is aiming to build a major teen centre including a rock music school.
The whole evening began with prayer, Stehen Stills (Crosby, Stills and Nash) and Don Feldman (Eagles), who are getting together next year, treated us to their debut with an extended set-( which included Hotel California), Jonathan Cain (Journey) played a grand piano with just a choir for backing, Ace Young (American Idol winner), Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades Band, dancers, comedians etc all gave us a gala evening. As each artist came on, others became their backing singers so it was all like a huge family party. We kept pinching ourselves as we couldn't quite believe we were seeing all that phenomenal talent in one room. We had an interval at 10.30pm when they gave out Christmas pudding, Alice Cooper didn't make it on stage until 12.45 am, and the whole evening ended at 1.30 am with every musician miked up, snow falling on stage, and Santa leading the singing of Jingle Bells!!
All for £25!! That's what I call value for money........
