It was a disco Friday night at the Grey Eagle Casino in Calgary on September 22/17 as Boney M featuring the original lead singer Liz Mitchell played to a full house. We all danced, sang along and cheered as hit after hit was covered by this version of the group. With 3 female back up singers ( 2 being Liz Mitchell nieces) and the wild male singer, well, actually the dancer, the songs sounded very much like the original version. Liz's voice is still very strong and powerful.
Liz spoke frequently between songs and was quite responsive to the crowd. After the openning song "Sunny", the songs kept coming, Painter Man, Hoorah, Hoorah its a Holiday, Brown Girl in the Ring, Daddy Cool, Ma Baker, a nice set of slower songs, then back to Rasputin, Rivers of Babylon, No Women, No Cry, Marys Boy Child in the encore set.
A fun evening with some great music with a real music Icon, Liz Mitchell.
