A good sized crowd relived the ’70s and ’80s with Kenny Shields and Streetheart at Average Joes, Sept. 27.
I only caught the end of the set, arriving just in time to catch the big ballads including “What Kind of Love is This,” which turned into an extended jam but featured some really nice three part vocal harmonies. Their reworked version of the Rolling Stones’ “ Under My thumb also turned into an extended jam.
While Shields looked exhausted by the time I arrived, he still has an impressive voice and was a gracious host as he held out his arms and told the dancing crowd “You guys are sharp. You’re sexy and you look great. Thanks for coming out.”
They knew the words of course and chanted “One More Time,” along with the chorus of one of their most popular numbers. They ended their show on a couple high notes including “Snow White,” and “Action.”
