The Big Bad Voodoo Band

Last night my dad and I went to a performance of the swing revival band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

And it was AWESOME. Seriously, these guys were amazing to watch. The music was outstanding (in particular the saxophone players and the drummer too)... this band has apparently been performing for 26 years now (with all the original members) and just recently had their three thousandth performance. Holy shit.

Strongly recommend their music, and here's a selection of some of the tracks that they did last night:

This first one was one of the opening numbers, and while it was louder in person than the album recording below, it was a lot of fun.

This one just has a nice rhythm and energy to it, really grew on me hearing it performed right there. XD

These next two are some of my personal favorites of theirs. The former just for the energetic beat of the music, and the second because it's a classic (courtesy of Mr. Cab Calloway). "Minnie" is a lot of fun to hear live because it's a call-and-response song, the audience helps sing along the refrain, which adds a lot of participation to the show. XD

And then there's a few of these that are just for giggles. Like this next number

And finally, to close out the show, were these two gems. XD

It was a LOT of fun, and I'm really glad I went and got to see them perform in person. Just a fantastic show with a lot of energy, humor and great music and skill from the band. Check them out sometime!
