GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS

BY ED BRUCE eddbrucevegas@yahoo.com

A WELL NEEDED TREAT AT THE PERFECT TIME

MIGHT HAVE WORN THE SAME SHIRT LAST NIGHT !

THE PICTURE ALWAYS ASK THE QUESTION HOW MANY PLAYBOYS HAVE
THERE BEEN THRU 6 DECADES ?

ANYWAY.....HERE IS THE DEAL IN THIS REVIEW OF RANDOM

THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS TO THE SHOW.

THIS...... ONE OF THE 52 FRIDAY NIGHT SHOWS AT THE GOLDEN NUGGET

DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS...

NOT A NEW VENUE....ITS NOW THE GORDIE BROWN THEATRE....I SAW

FRANK IN THIS VENUE IN NOVEMBER OF 1984....SOME AGING HERE.

ANYWAY.....LOVE THE 60'S AND OLD SONGS AND LYRICS......LOTS OF

THAT HERE.....LEWIS VOCAL ENOUGH AND TALENTED ENOUGH AT 70

TO DO A ONE MAN SHOW WHICH I WOULD HAVE PREFERED SO AS TO

NOT HAVE THE VOCALS DROWNED OUT BY DRUMS AND GUITARS.

LEWIS CAN SING AND DID AND TOLD STORIES ABOUT THE TIMELINE

FOR THIS MUSIC....WONDERFUL.....THE EXAMPLE OF MY ANTI DRUM

THEME IS PENULTIMATE HERE IN LACK OFCOMPRESHENISION FOR ME
..... ALL LEWIS HITS I KNEW THE LYRICS TO AND COULD ENJOY THEM
................................................ONE BAND MEMBER

WROTE A NEW SONG.....IT HAD VOCALS BUT I COULD NOT HEAR THEM...

ALL I GOT WAS NOISE....THIS CRITIQUE IS FOR ME BECAUSE I AM THE

CONNOISEUR OF LYRICS. ..............   "SEE BEATLES"

NICE CROWD....4 MINUTES LATE.....GREAT PRE SHOW BLACK AND WHITE

STILLS OF HISTORY AND SOME IN SHOW VIDEO WITH THE FAMOUS

FATHER.....

LEWIS A SOLID SONG BOOK WITH ...."SURE GONNA MISS HER"...."GREEN GRASS"..

"THIS DIAMOND RING"....AND "EVERONE LOVES A CLOWN"......THIS ONE

WROTE FOR JERRY LEWIS BUT THEN KEEP BY GARY FOR HIS OWN.....

A WONDERFUL TIMELINE.......SUCH HISTORY WITH GARY TOURING WITH
DION...GENE PITNEY....SONNY CURTIS....REALLY THE GREAT ROCK AND
ROLL HISTORY.

I REALLY NEED THIS SHOW.....GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AT 2 AND MADE

KICKOFF AT 804 ALLOWING ME TO CONTINUE WITH REMEMBERING MY

PAST AND CHILDHOOD UPBRINGING WITH THESE "WHERE WERE YOU"...

MEMORIES....THANKS GARY.

SEEMS TO BE A GOOD MARRIAGE HERE WITH THE "NUGGET" BRINGING GARY

BACK TWICE IN 2017....SURE HOPE I AM AROUND TO SEE THIS.

CAN'T HELP BUT REPORT ON THE TRACK MEET AT THIS EVENT....A

CONSTANT GETTING UP AND GOING AND COMING BACK AND DOING IT

AGAIN AND AGAIN.......I THINK THEY DO NOT SELL DRINKS IN THE SHOWROOM

AND IT MAY HAVE BEEN THIS OR SOMETHING ELSE....THAT AND THE

ENDLESS USE OF HAND HELD VIDEO DEVICES WHICH MANAGEMENT COULD

NOT OR DID NOT WISH TO DETER.

PRETTY GOOD SOUND HERE......MADE MY DAY
