Extreme’s Thicker than Blood Tour was a force of musical prowess and infectious energy on this night at the Four Winds Casino, in New Buffalo, Michigan. Gary Cherone’s charismatic stage presence, coupled with Nuno Bettencourt’s virtuoso guitar skills, set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The band effortlessly blended their diverse musical influences, seamlessly moving between hard rock anthems and melodic ballads. Pat Badger’s solid bass lines and Kevin Figueiredo’s precise drumming provided a powerful backbone to the performance. The chemistry between the band members was evident, creating a tight-knit musical unit that engaged the audience from start to finish. Extreme’s setlist featured a mix of their classic hits and newer material, catering to both longtime fans and those new to their sound. However, it should be noted that their newest album, Leave Me Blue, was also featured within their set and should be at the top of your album buying to-do list! Either way, the concert was a celebration of Extreme’s enduring talent,their ability to deliver a high-energy, memorable live experience, and prove that there is no end in sight for this powerhouse band.
Taking the stage first, in order to warm up the audience proper was none other than Living Colour. From the moment they stepped on stage, the energy was palpable, thus accomplishing their goal of warming up the audience…and then some!
