A couple weeks ago I saw the Aquabats at a free concert at the Orange County Great Park. It was outdoors, and while there was a large crowd in front, hardly anyone stood off to the side. That’s where I was. It let me get close without getting jostled, which meant I could actually film. No, I couldn’t really see Ricky Fitness, but I never really get any good shots of him.
They actually performed two sets, which was pretty cool. They put a break in the middle, pointing out that parents with young children could take the kids home. I’m sure it was mostly the fact that they needed a break.
Notables:
- They fought a giant shrimp
- The called a young fan, Joey, up to the stage. Joey was super fast even with his forearm crutches!
- The Aquabats performed “Martian Girl” with Jimmy on saxophone because his keyboard was having problems. It sounded great!
- Ricky Fitness sang “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love Tonight” while the M.C. Bat Commander drummed.
