Gutwrenching and passion by Paolo & the Vipers
by CrazyCanuck on 2009-09-22Showbox SoDo - SeattleGiven that I saw Paolo & the Vipers on Friday night in Vancouver at the Commodore to an extraordinary (and sold out) show...I wasn't sure if a performance could be anymore earthshattering...but Saturday night in Seattle the boys and the soulful master pulled off a show that everyone in the audience will remember. The vocals cranked out by Paolo guided by the skilllful musical talent of the Vipers rocked the Showbox SoDo like a tornado blowing through the building. I was at the stage right in front of the man himself and was completely mesmerized for the entire stellar performance. Truly, in all my 40 years of concert going, the ONLY person (and band) that rocked my world was Bruce Springsteen...so Paolo and the boys put on one fabulous end of the tour show and I doubt anyone, including myself, will EVER forget the show of a lifetime. My thanks to all the band members, especially Donny (for allowing me to have my photo taken with him outside the venue!) for making a dream come true in every sense of the word.
