Blue Man Group: The Complex Rock Tour Live


English
90 minutes, 2003
5 Stars, 5 Stars

As I understand it, the Blue Man Group started years ago when some guys wondered what it would be like if aliens landed on Earth and the only work they could get was entertainment. I've never seen them, outside of commercials, and had NO idea what to expect. I spent 90 minutes totally enthralled. They are a rock group, with high energy and a fun outlook (unlike so much heavy metal). The Blue Men are basically percussionists and they percuss anything within reach – PVC pipe, sideways piano, drums. And their piece, Exhibit 13, brought a tear to these eyes! Lots of humor, lots of good energy, lots of fun. And lots of different. (I must admit, I love Taiko drums, so an evening of good drumming is always a way to my heart ;-)
