Zombie jamboree August 8, 2007

Rockapella, consisting (at the time) of Elliott Kerman, Barry Carl, Scott Leonard, Jeff Thacher and Kevin Wright, performs at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara in 2000.

I’ve not sure what to make of these guys. There’s no question they have the skill, but they lack the spontaneity and fun of the Bobs or McFerrin. It may (or may not) be significant that my favorite of their numbers is the title of this post — and there’s no question the Kingston Trio did it better.

I’m posting this entire concert because there wasn’t any one part of it that really turned me on enough to put it up alone. So, take your pick.

Part 1: “I Am Your Man”, “Dancin’ In The Streets”, “That’s The Way”, “Let’s Get Away From It All”, “This Isn’t Love” “Pretty Woman” and “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?”

Part 2: “Blah Blah Blah”, “Stand By Me”, “Where Would We Be?”, “Wimoweh (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)”, “Up On The Roof”, “What A Wonderful World” and “Tempted”.

Part 3: “People Change”, “Use Me”, “Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay”, “Zombie Jamboree”, “Keep On Smilin'”, “Sixteen Tons”, “Moments Of You” and “Change In My Life”.
