(August 24, 2006) I had the pleasure last night of seeing KC's Boogie Blast, one of the Summer's very fun shows, featuring KC and the Sunshine Band, Gloria Gaynor, Tavares and Sister Sledge. The Sunshine Band (full horn section, two percussionists, two guitarists and two keyboards) sounded fantastic and provided a great backing for all four acts. The three hour show kept the audience on its feet constantly, as the performers smartly rotated mini-sets throughout the evening, with highlights being versions of "I Will Survive," "We Are Family," "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" and "Get Down Tonight." The concert then ended with all of the artists joining together for a version of Stephen Stills' "Love the One You're With." All in all, Boogie Blast was a VERY memorable evening filled with some of the great dance songs of the 70s.
