Anyway, about all I knew about Bob Malone was that he had played the piano for The Bobs when they recorded "Rhapsody in Bob." My verdict is that I prefer him just to play the piano and not sing. He did his own songs and came across as a Billy Joel wannabe. A half hour of that was enough for me.
The Bobs were as interesting as always. One of the things I like about them is that they always have a wide mix of material. They don't ignore their old material (e.g. their covers of "You Really Got a Hold on Me" and of a Bach cello piece, as well as their original song "My Shoes") but they always have some new things as well. They're also a group it is worth seeing in person since the sheer insanity of, say, "Get Your Monkey Off My Dog" can't come across on a recording. (Maybe, just maybe, on a DVD.) Of the new material, I particularly liked "Beluga."
All in all, a fun show.
