The Turning Point


The Turning Point, located on the banks of the lovely Hudson River in the town of Piermont, N.Y.,is one of the most interesting places to see NRBQ. My usual plan is to try and get into town a bit early so that I can get a delicious dinner at the restaurant upstairs. The 'Q' plays two shows at this venue and always give the audience the extra bang for the buck. I recommend if you go that you be sure to order your tickets in advance! This club only seats 69 on a good night. With Terry's piano it's even less.

This past show on 3/28/98 was another fun time. The thing that is so cool is each time I go to this club I meet someone new or run into someone I haven't seen in a while so the whole thing ends up
turning into a gab fest situated around seeing the 'Q'. This night was no different. I love that the band taps into the looseness of the environment and plays to it.

Both shows were musically sound. From the first notes of "C'mon If You're Comin'" and "I Feel Lucky" to the beautiful "Little Floater" and the nutty "Is That Good Religion?", the band was hot and ready to please. Personally, I liked the second show better. I wonder if the constant rounds that were being bought at my table had anything to do with it. . .hmmmm:-)
