Three Dog Night
It looked like a typical night at the Grande Ballroom crowded with an assortment of Steppenwolf fans, people with nowhere else to go, and the usual range of Grande regulars. I got there late as per usual. But, in time for Three Dog Night’s first set.
It looked like a typical night at the Grande Ballroom crowded with an assortment of Steppenwolf fans, people with nowhere else to go, and the usual range of Grande regulars. I got there late as per usual. But, in time for Three Dog Night’s first set. Their first song led me to the stage where I stood for the next five numbers or so. They did their “Rendition of Chest Fever”1 from the album and did it well. Unlike “The Band” who play their music in free form, very loose but together. Three Dog Night just went about proving that they are one of the tightest groups around. If you haven’t seen them you might be surprised to see three lead singers (they all sound great). They’ve got some, really good harmony, as you can tell when they do, It's For You” penned by “Lennon and McCartney” but never recorded by the “Beatles”. Their version of “Try A Little Tenderness” is just about the best tribute to Otis Redding I’ve ever heard.
They make it as a group with no one member pushing solo trying to become Super Pop Stars.
