Can you get too much of a good thing? Can a concert series get too big? Is Artpark following in the shoes of Thrsday At The Square?
Apparently, it is possible. Likely, even.
I went to Artpark to see America play today. My expectations were low to start with, as I had seen America last year at the North Tonawanda Harbor Series and knew I'd see a competent rendition of the same songs they've been doing since the 1970s. Kind of like a cover band, but covering their own songs. No surprises, no chances taken, just phone in a good performance and get back on the bus. But that's okay and what a lot of people want to see. You can't blame them for giving them what they want.
