To see the videos for this show, please review my recent Pink concert preview setlist. I've posted some of the highlights below. Shortly after an unnecessary DJ set by KidCutUp, Pink, her band and dancers took the stage. She put on a great show, but it was nowhere close to perfect. Her voice was strong through the night, although she told us the elevation did cause her problems. But I would have never noticed. Pink is in exquisite shape which is the only way she could have got through her 100 aerobic set that is a Pink concert.
However as some of the videos below the sound could be muddy, although the live sound is much better at the actual show. Both "Just Like A Pill" and "Who Knew" were too bass heavy, the bass obliterated the great song that is "Just Like A Pill".
These aren't complaints, just questions. Does Pink's shows really need dancers and all the aerial acrobatics. The acrobatics are cool the first few times and Pink is fearless, I just hope that doesn't catch up with her. However the best aerial acrobatics of the night was during "So What", when she flew far and around into the audience. Everyone was able to see her much closer.
Before the show officially started a speaker rattling version of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" was played. That was all the opener Pink needed on this night. A couple of moments after that song ended the show began with the dropping of the curtain.
Yes, I would suggest you go check out Pink, if you can catch her live, I would give her concert a solid B grade. I hope to work more on this blog later.
The show started off with a huge chandelier like device coming from the top of the stage, one of the many things that Pink hung on throughout the night. 1) "Get The Party Started":
This is a great song, but even is better live. 2) "Beautiful Trauma":
3) "Just Like A Pill":
4) "Who Knew":
A giant Eminem balloon rapped the rap part, that was a nice touch. Then Pink and her acrobatics kicked the balloon Eminem's butt. 5) "Revenge":
6) "Fun House/ Just A Girl":
7) "Smells Like Teen Spirit":
8) "Secrets":
9) "Try":
A video of Nate Reuss singing on a very old school TV was her partner on this night. 10) "Just Give Me One Reason":
11) "I'm Not Dead":
I keep on forgetting she sings this song and I always wonder who sings it when I hear it. Pink sings it and she does so very ably. This is one of the highlights or her show. 12) "Just Like Fire":
The live version:
"Change Is Possible" video and 13) "What About Us":

Deap Vally, which is an incredibly easy band name to misspell, is a band I hadn't heard of until I started working on these Chicks That Rock blogs. Their 2016 CD, "Femejism", was released on September 16th, 2016. Deap Vally is one of those bands I talk about a lot. They're a great band that I had never heard of before this. Now I'm a big fan and this band proves what I've said a lot. Even when you think the current music is terrible, there's always a good band out there. You just have to find it. That may not be easy, but it certainly is worth it. That's one of the reasons I write this blog, I hope to share the great music I've discovered. And please feel free to do the same with me. I think this band has a lot of potential, but yes they're very raw now.
Alecia Beth Moore, aka P!nk, was born on September 8th, 2017. P!nk broke out in 2002 with her second CD "Missundaztood". That CD was highlighted by "Get This Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just Like A Pill". P!nk released a new CD, "Beautiful Trauma" on October 13th, 2017.
On May 9th, 2018 - it's 2018 already?- I'll be going to see P!nk in concert Wednesday night. I'm so excited to see her again. I saw her at the very start of her career, back when "Get This Party Started" was blowing up. She was amazing the first time I saw her and expect more of the same this time. This was her setlist at her last concert with a setlist at setlist.fm. That was her May 1st concert in Dallas.

There's just something about a chick that rocks. The hard crunching song with a piercing women's voice riding over the music is amazing. Some of these bands you already know and love and some aren't as well known. Thanks to Google Play for giving me a heads up on some of these bands.
I wouldn't say that Dua Lipa is a natural rocker, but she does have some songs that rock. I've been wearing out this CD for my drive music lately. Her self-titled CD was released in 2017.

Back in September 2017 I started a series of blogs about some of the best heartbreak songs. Just recently I went back and started finishing those blogs. Yesterday I finished the first and second parts and for some reason I had finished the third part back in September. Originally part 2 was extremely long, I've broken that blog into two parts. This is the second half of that blog and thus part 4 of heartbreak songs.
Although these songs are about some of the toughest times in our lives they are very powerful and amazing songs. As of now this will be the last one of these blogs and then it will be going back to finishing the Smiths countdown blogs.
