Music: Three Dog Night W/ Ambrosia Featuring John Ford Coley At The Astro In La Vista, NE

On Saturday night I went to a concert at the Astro Theatre.  The concert, originally in the Asro's outside amphitheater, was moved into the theatre and where they moved me was awesome – Row G, just 7 rows from the stage.

The warm up band was Ambrosia.  They were pretty good considering the age of the drummer and lead singer, both founding members from the 1970s.  They did a mix of their hits and a few odd covers which I haven't totally wrapped my head around.

They were joined by John Ford Coley who did some of his hits as well as backed up Ambrosia on some of their sets.

Overall, they were a solid warm up for the headliner, Three Dog Night.

Three Dog Night came on and had a solid performance.  They covered all their major songs plus a few more obscure tracks.  Danny Hutton, a founding member, sounded great for being 84 years old and never left the stage the whole time even though he walked like his age, a bit rickety.  I think the secret may be you have to sing like an old man when you are young so people don't notice your voice change with age.  They ended with "Joy to the World."

Three Dog Night.

I had a great time of nostalgia though, I have to admit, seeing how old these artists are is kind of depressing.
