Gosh, I thought I had a long wait, but I see it is not long at all. I plan on a trip to Lake Tahoe over Labor Day weekend to see the fireworks and the Bad Company concert. |

The REAL Bad Company? Cool! I remember the one time I stayed at the Reno Hilton (at the time, Grand Sierra now - if that...), there was a cover band at the cabaret-space, and they played a cover of that "Feel like makin' love" tune.
That ought to be a good show - make sure to provide a full report! |

Well, at least one of the performers has to have been a member. Otherwise it's a deceptive trade practice in NV:
NRS 598.0922 “Deceptive trade practice” defined.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a person engages in a “deceptive trade practice” if the person advertises or conducts a live musical performance or production in this State through the use of a false, deceptive or misleading affiliation, connection or association between a performing group and a recording group.
2. A person does not engage in a “deceptive trade practice” pursuant to subsection 1 if:
***
(b) At least one member of the performing group was a member of the recording group and has a legal right by virtue of use or operation under the group name without having abandoned the name or affiliation with the group;
***
3. As used in this section:
(a) “Performing group” means a vocal or instrumental group seeking to use the name of another group that has previously released a commercial sound recording under that name. |

I read that there are two original members plus Brian Howe who was lead singer somewhere along the line for Bad Company. The tickets are only $20 (all general admission) at MontBleu- quite a bargain in today"s live performance era.
Interesting stuff Remano about the legalities. I wondered how that worked.
See you there? Saturday 9-4 |

I had no idea the laws were written so specifically for this kind of thing! I guess they got sick of cover bands billing themselves as the real deal, or at least minimizing the fact that they weren't the original act?
I guess this kind of law is what allows Mike Love to drag a few session musicians around the country and call it "The Beach Boys". |
