She just did her 500th show here, and donated over 1 Million dollars to charities here.
The homeless will love that as there are numerous charities to help them off of the streets.
She has grossed over 400 million here since the New Day show sterted. Their opening act was loving it, steady work for along time.
She pays 2000 USD weekly to the female percussionist who just graduated from UNLV.
Can't stress the importance of having a great ear, but being able to read music opens many more doors here.
I wouldn't have lasted more than a few months. I would have been chugging Jager by the gallon, just to tolerate having to play the same thing over, and over. And Orchestral arrangements are just so " white ".
It was an excellent show though. The stage props were awesome, and her voice, even though perfectly effected and mixed, sounds great. But after the first 4 or 5 numbers, and having to hear Piano, strings, and French Horns on every selection, I was looking at my watch.
I enjoy watching the Ozzy impersonater more. He sounds just like Ozzy, and the stunts are hillarious. He fakes a seizure during a guitar solo half way through the set where he leans into a Marshall stack that falls over, The roadies then race over to assist him, the whole time the music is still being played. They then revive him w/ water and face slaps, force pills down his throat, and then he pretends to snort a few lines of something and voila,....he jumps up and starts jamming again.
I have seen this many times, but the best part is watching the new audience that actually thinks something has happened to the guy. It works very well everytime, and really is fun to see.
He probably is really snorting the real thing making this trick even more valuable.
