Either you went wow, or you went who? A rather revered band from the late 90s. So revered I&#8217;d never heard a single song from them. I&#8217;m in though because, ya now, why not? They reformed after 20 years for this tour. I enjoyed it and I didn&#8217;t enjoy it. Some parts were sort of Peter Gabriel brilliant but then they break into record scratching and almost rap and it was always taking not so great turns. Some would say awesome but some (me) would say confusing. It just didn&#8217;t work. Total vibes then poof. Anyway, I enjoyed it and I didn&#8217;t enjoy it. I&#8217;m really glad we had reserved seats for this one. Nice to hang back above the crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m going to act cool and say yeah yeah I&#8217;ve been into The Beta Band since the early days!
