Charleston, WV - Media Review Quotes

By Jake Stump

Elliott jokingly called those financially unsupportive fans "cheap" and told everyone in the ballpark to flip them the bird. Yet even after being insulted by a British '80s rocker, those fans stuck around for what had to be the best live show in Charleston for quite some time. The band's five members never missed a key and exhibited a stage presence unlike many of today's dispassionate whippersnappers.

There were even guitar solos in the songs. Remember those?

They also gave fans a teaser of their upcoming covers album, "Yeah!" by playing David Essex's "Rock On" and Badfinger's "No Matter What," both from the early '70s.

"No Matter What," which has already been released as a single, had grown men in boots singing the pop chorus lines like 12-year-old Hilary Duff fans. But the bizarre, groovy effects accompanying "Rock On" seemed to bewilder fans. Plus, no one really likes that song.
