It was a hot long weekend Sunday, Feb. 16, so a good sized crowd wanted to celebrate it ’80s style at Average Joes, as Canadian classic Rockers Honeymoon Suite returned to Lethbridge.
While I missed opening act the Raw Dogs, Honeymoon Suite delivered exactly what was expected— hits and lots of them.
They have quite a few to choose from and played them all. Everyone was blissfully singing along to “Wave Babies,” “ Stay In The Light,” “ Feel it Again” and lots more plus more obscure tracks like the spunky “Shot Through the Heart.”
There was plenty of keyboard solos and lead singer Johnnie Dee, who still has a fabulous voice, played a lot more guitar, taking turns playing with lead guitarist Derry Grehan. Johnnie Dee even played a very pretty guitar intro to “Wave Babies.”
Of course, they had plenty of their famous ballads like “What Does it Take,” which also had the audience singing.
