Boy George and Culture Club Jiffy Lube Live Review
Boy George and Culture Club brought the intense heat and lightning with them. Oh, yeah, and Berlin and Howard Jones.
It’s been 27 years since I’ve seen Culture Club, and last time they had Howard Jones with them as well. Opening up was Berlin, and if you’re unfamiliar with the band name, everybody knows “Take My Breath Away” from Top Gun. Singer Terri Nunn still looks and sounds amazing. Berlin had to have a shorter set because of severe weather alerts, but the four songs they played set the tone for the night.
Howard Jones was up, and when you think of him, you don’t realize how many songs you actually know from him. Songs like “Like to Get to Know You Well”, “New Song”, and “Things Can Only Get Better”, Howard Jones and his band also played a shorter set, but they still sound amazing.
Boy George and Culture Club veterans Mikey Craig and Roy Hay put on an amazing show; they all look amazing and still sound amazing too. Opening up with a cover of the Rolling Stones “Sympathy for the Devil.”
Culture Club played all the hits like “It’s a Miracle”, “I’ll Yumble 4 Ya”, “Do you really want to hurt me” “Church of the Poison Mind,”, “Time” “Miss Me Blind” and “Karma Chameleon “.
Boy George still sounds so great; it was fun to hear the songs that I grew up listening to, and it just put everyone in the crowd in a great mood. We all forgot about our troubles, worries, and the heat and lightning for a little bit and just sat down or stood up and danced to one of the last great icons of the 80s.

King Diamond brought the Halloween party to Silver Spring MD
King Diamond who’s on tour now with Overkill and Night Demon.
Overkill always puts on a great show and shows that face pace thrash metal is still kick ass. Led by NJ’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth Overkill has that distinctive sound with Bobby’s high pitched and raspy vocals. With songs like “Scorched”, “ Rotten to the Core” and “Hello From the Gutter”, Overkill got the crowd into a frenzy and warmed up the stage before the king.
You know it’s gonna be a good night when it’s 3 days before Halloween and you get to see a kick ass set from King Diamond. King Diamond who’s 68 right now still commands that stage and sounds amazing with his insanely falsettos. The stage show at a King Diamond show is always such a great sight to see. With a multilayer setup of stairs and little pieces of elaborate set all over it’s such a great view and perfect setting to watch a King Diamond set.
The set list was amazing too we got to hear songs from such a great career like “A Mansion in the Darkness”, “Halloween “, “Spider Lilly”, “Welcome Home”, and “Eye of the Witch” and of course ending the night with “Abagail”.
If you’re a fan of King Diamond or just a fan of great music that adds that Halloween haunted asylum themed stage performances then you need to go out and check this tour now. King Diamond never disappoints and always puts on one hell of a show.

ITS TIME TO GET YOUR BODY BEAT AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW
Combichrist came into Lovedrafts in Mechanicsburg with an old school electronic set and the return of PA’s own DeathMaschine.
Combichrist took the dark stage armed with Eric on the synths/sampler and Andy on Vocals and an open stage to rampage on. I got to hear some killer kick ass songs I haven’t heard in a while like “Today I woke to the rain of blood”, “This is My Rifle” and This shit will fuck you up”.
The crowd were super excited to watch the set and everyone was having a good time, dancing to the beats, and singing all the songs and having an amazing time. I’ve been wanting to see Combichrist do these old school sets and have always loved that era of the band. We also got to hear “Like to Thank My Buddies” and “Shut up and Swallow”. We also got a super rare treat for an encore Andy went back even further in his musically roots and pulled out an Icon of Coil song “Dead Enough For Life”, which got the crowd in a frenzy.

LUDACRIS : THE HALL AT LIVE
ATL IS IN THE HOUSE.
Ludacris came into Maryland at the Hall in Live Casino and brought with him the masses that were ready for a good time, good fun and good tunes.
Ludacris said it’s been a long time since he’s been back to Maryland and DC area. I loved that he just came out with his dj and his hype man and himself nothing else was needed when you entertain like Ludacris does. Whether you’re a fan from back in the day or a fan of his movies, Ludacris made everyone happy and made sure they were fully entertained.
Of course Ludacris played some of his hits songs like “Act a Fool”, “Move Bitch”, “What’s your fantasy”, “Get Back” and “Area Codes” but he also played some old school tracks and a few covers like “Holiday Inn” and “Yeah”. The crowd was hitting that good weed as well and threw some blunts up to the stage during “BlueBerry Yum Yum”.
Ludacris made a statement that his first album came out in 2000 and this next year is the 25th anniversary of the album. It was a great night and a great time, Ludacris knows how to keep the fans engaged and entertained all night. He’s very fan friendly and charismatic which makes sense that he’s also a great actor.
