I've watched The Blues Brothers movie more times then I can count and every time I'd wish I was sitting in the Ballroom at the Palace Hotel for their legendary concert. Well, with The Official Blues Brothers Revue finally I got to experience that.

But, how could anyone replace John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd? You can't. Instead, they found the two most talented people in Wayne Catania (Jake) and Kieron Lafferty (Elwood) that actually became better versions of themselves. Which were backed by an extremely talented version of "The Band!!!" as Jake would say.

No better setting could have been possible for opening night then the Kravis Center. The sound, lighting, hospitality and atmosphere were second to none. Not even the Blues Mobile was needed to pack this house.

The briefcase was opened for an eclectic night of pure American rhythm, soul and blues. The names might have changed but the talent was still a spectacle to see. Even the 'Good Ol Boys' would've been proud.

Wayne Catania (Jake) not only looked the part, but showed his awesome musical prowess with songs like Guilty, Do You Love Me? and Flip, Flop and Fly. To look, act and sing like an iconic figure that every one knows and loves is nearly impossible but Wayne never made you wonder that he's anything but genuine.

His brother Elwood (Kieron Lafferty) showed some of the most amazing harmonica skills I've heard since Johnny Popper of Blues Traveler. Kieron even played a little on the world's smallest harmonica. Lafferty really shinned in his rendition of The Chips Rubber Biscuit, which he sang spot on. "What Do You Want For Nothing?"

The Blues Brothers Revue also showcased a powerful soulful singer in Arnae' Batson who's high energy singing of Aretha Franklin and James Brown's Man's World had the whole crowd in awe.

The audience also played its part in singing the skillfully written chorus of Land of 1,000 Dances' which simply says, 'Na'. And then, really got into it with Minnie the Moocher and the ever-popular Shout, which turned the Kravis Center into a battle of musical hilarity.

Laced in with an incredible set list of songs was the comedic genius of Wayne and Kieron who were able to create something new without dishonoring or changing the old. From, whiskey mouth wash to indoor pluming, tiny whips to heart felt poems and of course, the musical dance choreography that only could come from the Blues Brothers.

From the opening scene to the closing note, The Official Blues Brothers Revue had it all and never disappointed. It was almost perfect, so this must have been a 'Mission From God'.
