If you enjoyed "Back to the Future" or even still find yourself basking in the glory of Woodstock, the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion was the place to be last Saturday evening. Last Saturday, singer and songwriter Joe Cocker took the stage along with the upbeat 80's band, Huey Lewis & The News. Fans cheering for both bands came to the Pavilion early and proceeded to stay late.
For the concert, the Pavilion chose not to open the lawn seating area for the general public. Seats filled less quickly because there was no rush to stake out a favorable spot on the lawn. All seats were assigned and most visitors mingled in courtyard until 7:10 p.m. By 7:30 p.m., most attendees were nestled in their chairs for the opening act, Huey Lewis & The News. Although Huey Lewis & The News was the opening act, from a quick inference more guests attended the concert for Huey Lewis instead of Joe Cocker.
Huey Lewis began the News' set with an appropriate tune for the concert, "Heart of Rock and Roll." Most attendees instantly recognized the song and began to freely dance throughout the aisles of seats. The lively atmosphere built by the fans of Huey Lewis spurred an upbeat show featuring hit songs such as "Little Bitty Pretty One," "Heart and Soul," "Power of Love" and "I Need a New Drug." Huey Lewis & the News also provided the energetic crowd with an unexpected three song encore show.
After Huey Lewis & The News ended their set, the famous Joe Cocker took the stage with his raspy voice and funky back up band. With recognizable hits such as "Feelin' Alright," Cocker was able to convince the crowd that his energy had not faded over many years. As the sun finally set behind the Pavilion, a slight breeze from the air-conditioning helped maintain a stable and comfortable environment for attendees planning to stay throughout Cocker's set.
As the night drew to a close, ticket holders surely were not dissapointed. Attendees were able to see two classic yet still vibrant bands celebrate one of the greatest gifts humanity has to offer: music.
