Bacon Brothers, Polk Theatre, Lakeland, FL 10/18/09 With Bellamy Brothers

I had tickets to a Neko Case show and really want to see her someday but realized a few weeks after I bought those ticket that there was another show in town I had planned on attending. Double booked! I sold the NC tickets and off we went to Lakeland to see the Bacon Brothers. Yes, Kevin Bacon and his big bro Mike. The first hour or so of the show I was wondering if I made the best musical choice that night but then the jive kicked in and those boys rocked. They have a very strong backing band and were joined onstage for two songs by the Bellamy Brothers. Apparently they have recorded together and since the Bellamy Brothers are from this area, they decided to make the journey to Lakeland.

Here are some videos I shot at the show - not the best audio, I was using the little camera.
