Sheesh. Drinking during performances is for musicians only.
PJT, you don't like MS do you.
I was at the show, in the front row. Armstrong and Getty were great, Senator McClintock was excellent, and the first act of Savage's live show was magnificent. The second act ran WAY too long as Michael Savage didn't seem to know how to end the TV segment. Overall, the show was just great. But the ending was abrupt and annoying. I think Michael Savage needs someone to keep him on schedule during live events. At the end, Armstrong and Getty appeared visually annoyed that they even had to follow such a lame ending.
Compared to all the other conservative radio hosts I have heard, Savage seems to be rude, socially challenged, terribly arrogant, and a shameless self-promoter. Not even O'Reilly matches Savage's ability to pat himself on the back.
No wonder his PMSNBC show flopped.
I listened to Savage for a year or two when I was in the Bay Area, before I got the hell out of California. I think he's good for about a year. After that, the meglomania, crudeness and swollen disregard for his own importance and intelligence turned me off. Happened to most friends of mine too.
He has his moments, but he's really just "not all that".
I listen to him nightly, but he is preempted by baseball now.. Cant wait for football season for the football and that baseball will be over.....
How much did you have to pay to see this blowhard?
Good review. I always wondered if Savage was a tippler. Not cool on stage. I spent 30 years on stage as a musician/entertainer and drinking on stage is simply a no-no. The person on the stage loses their edge; always have to keep a step ahead of the audience or they walk all over you.
I'm disappointed; I believe he has some potential, and this may be dragging him down.
Thanks for the report.
Yeah, right; like that's gonna happen.
I attended the show ($50 seats) and enjoyed it - mostly. I agree that the second act got rather lame and the ending a bust, but the first act was superb. I don't have anything against him drinking on stage, although you're right - it does alter his performance "somewhat." HOWEVER, if I NEVER see that band again I will be forever grateful.
Thanks dude, enjoyed reading your review. I am a little disappointed by his reported acts, but thanks anyway.

FWIW, he admitted on the air last night that he drank too much during Act II. (Yes, last night.)
