We were going to blog post mention The Premiere Show earlier, but had to evacuate our home because of the San Diego County Fires on Monday...
The Premiere Show took the 60 top bands from video entries and the three judges sorted them out to the Final 12 Bands outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Last Night we watched the first performance show of the bands. The following is 'Our Take' On the Bands' Performances.
This is similar to our format on 'Our Take' Of American Idol Performance Shows.

For those of you that missed the show... Each Band had to cover one of Bob Dylan's songs and then follow up with an original song of their own.
Due to space limitations because of all twelve bands performing, the following are just a few notes from last nite:
Re: Band #5 - Dicko didn't like the Bluegrass band, BUT he's from The Australian Idol TV Show. Thought this is supposed to be the Next Great AMERICAN band! What's an Aussie doing judging bluegrass??
The Host is from the New Zealand Idol TV Show... Just not right... nothing against Australians or New Zealanders, just this is supposed to be 'American'!!
Sheila E should NOT have said Band #10 is going to win!! We have so many weeks ahead to watch, what's up with that??!!
Next week: The TWO Bands with the lowest vote counts won't play next week.... So No 'Results Show' like American Idol. Next week the cover song is to be one of Elton John's...
Glad something is finally on Friday Nights for us! What's your thoughts on this show? Just post your comments below!
For those that are wondering what the 'tie-in' is for us... we have Rock Comic Books for sale in our eBay Featured Store!
