Welcome To Patty
Smyth with Scandal Mohegan
Sun July 30th
2007 Days of old and new is what was brought
to mind when I saw Patty Smyth and Scandal. The
band played to perfections and Patty’s voice as great as the first time I
heard here back in 1984 with the hit song “Warrior” which they played that evening
prompting the audience by slamming her water bottle on to the stage. Patty
looked fantastic and I was amazed at the fact she had six children and
looked so damn good! The night was young and the show was
just getting underway. They opened with “Line on You”, “Heartache”, and
“White Bird.” The audience was very responsive…it’s been awhile. It’s not
everyday you get to see Scandal. The evening went on
with more hits and more applause, even some giving a standing ovation.
Patty not being shy with her fans, made her way through the crowd while
singing “Beat of a Heart” and even taking a look at the band remarking on
how good they looked on stage. Next, heartfelt songs that wouldn’t
make for the best wedding songs she proclaims. It brought so much emotion,
it brought a tear to Patty’s eye. She explained “ these songs were written during a time I was very depressed” and went on to say how a song can
come from a dried rose that’s been there for many years that suddenly has
fallen out of a book. That’s when Patty performed her single that was
actually a duet with Don Henley “Love Ain’t Enough” and “No Mistakes.” She
then told the audience “don’t look
back, don’t ever look back!” The night flew by and before you
knew it, the evening was coming to an end to the most fitting song
“Goodbye.” Patty and the band came back out to do two more songs and onto a
meet and greet signing autographs and taking pictures. It was a great
evening for all! Kelly Roadway Hajduk Of Concert Connections Rating **** Set List Line on You – Heartache - Hands Tied - Talk to Me
