In March I went to a rock concert at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay. I went to see the band "the Black Summer Crush". They are from the Los Angeles area. They opened the night with the band "Candlebox" the headliner act. The Crush concert was excellent!! They really rocked and played very well. They have a very good lead singer in Thomas Flowers, a very good hard rock voice! With their songs "I want more, Lucky Girl, Angel and Between the Lines", the house was a rockin! All the band members performed very well and really enjoyed playing for the audience. I am looking forward to their first cd coming out later this spring or early summer! I hope everyone will take a listen to their music!! I traveled 2,000 miles just to hear them play at the HOB, it was worth the trip!!!

The House of Blues has a very nice venue. The stage area is small but not cramped. You can stand just a few feet from the stage if your down on the floor area. I was about fifteen feet from the stage, it was loud, but not too loud. A very good small club atmosphere. And the decorations for the concert area continue with the House of Blues motif. The prices for many of the shows here are a good value. Three bands for $36.00 is not band! If your looking for some live music next time your in Las Vegas, take a look at the House of Blues. They do have blues and many rock bands performing there. A very good variety. And of course, you can also get a good meal there before or after the show!!

Keep the blues a rockin!!!!!
