Rock & Classic Rock Music
 

Just wondering what there is for rock music and classic rock music at TV. Are their venues that have live music or concerts or clubs?

Lots and lots of classic rock. Of course every night at both town squares we have music. If you haven't seen Rocky and the Rollers yet, you are in for a treat. Also, Katie Bell's has great entertainers and Savannah often has famous entertainers. I believe that this month in The Villages there will be a BeeGees tribute band and a Four Seasons tribute band.

Also curious about this subject.

But you may want to clarify what you consider "classic" rock. To me that means the late 60's to maybe 1980, but it seems that the majority of musical interest right now in TV would be in the 1950 through 1965 range. I can just imagine how a Led Zepplin tribute would go over. :laugh:

Our time will come, ;)

There are some of us that love the music from every generation from the 1950 to present. However, for me two exceptions Hip Hop and Rap. It is really surprising to me that they have dozens and dozens of rap and Hip Hop singers but only one song...they all play over and over and over and over.....

I hope soon. Floyd and Zep and I am there, nothing else needed.

In the few years I have been here, I have seen (heard?) the range of music changing. When we first got here, it was almost all 50's/60's, then some 70's was mixed in. And now I've heard some 80's stuff.

I agree that if/when hip-hop or rap start downtown, I'll shut the doors and windows. Gosh, I sound like my grandparents when rock started. My parents were OK with it since they grew up in the swing era.

the trouble with rap is they left out the "c"

Ditto! Late sixties, seventies! Classic rock and roll!

Thanks for the posts. By classic rock I mean late 60s, 70s, and 80s rock. The Woodstock generation music & LedZep, Dead, Aerosmith, Queen, Dead, Skynyrd, Petty, REO, ZZTop, Beatles, Stones & that type of music.

I owned and operated a record store and mail order business that featured classic rock from the late 60's to mid 80's, so I know where you're coming from.

The band Yesterdayze is my favorite, they all wear dye-die shirts and playing mostly late 60's, my favorite era. They have male singers and one female so they can do anything from Hendrix to Jefferson Airplane. Unfortunately I've only gotten to see them once at LSL because the other two times it rained. They're not on the upcoming schedule.

A band that does play a lot at LSL is Cactus Jack & the Cadillacs. They do some 50's and Elvis but I've also heard them do a very loud version of 'Born to Be Wild' and a song I never hear live, '96 Tears'. They are usually at the square every other week and are probably the most popular next to Rocky & the Rollers, which is a mostly 50's and early 60's band.

I haven't heard anyone do the Beatles, although January 16th they are having a Beatles Tribute Band at Savannah Center and my neighbors and us already have our tickets.

Ditto on Yesterdaze....they are my new favorite band in TV. They also do a decent medley of Beatles tunes, as part of their set. They have been playing quite a bit a Katie Bell's, so you might check that schedule.

Saw Cactus Jack on Thursday at LSL and they actually did a Chiristmas Medley that ROCKED! Fun Band....

We're slowly easing our way into the late 60's and early 70's....WOO HOO!!!

Those bands and music are not considered Classic Rock in the music industry, but Golden Oldies, 50's 60's and disco music. Just to clarify the Classic Rock Genre is bands like the Rolling Stones, Who, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Beatles, and similar music that came out a bit later than the ones you mentioned. However at Katie Belles, Donna Moore does a marvelous salute to the type of music you mentioned.

Actually I heard a wonderful band in Spanish Springs square last Saturday night. Not only a Beatles medley (with Sgt Pepper's LHCB)but many other Classic Rock favorites like Pink Floyd, Who, ELP, Eagles, Billy Idol, The Police, ZZ Top.....It was so good we stayed even after the car show ended. The band was called "Uncle Bob's Rock Shop" and they are supposed to be at one of the squares in January and also in Katie Bells, I think they said first weekend of January.

PLEASE. Let me know when these groups will be playing. I would like to check them out. Do you know their Stage Name?
