Showcase Live

I ain't gonna lie, going down to Foxborough to see Girl Talk and the Death Set (Nov. 14) in some swank-ass suburban music venue won't be on my list of to-do items anytime soon.

But if I was married, in my 40s and liked shit like Al Green, Peter Frampton and Al Jarreau, I would be all the fuck over Showcase Live, the new Patriot Place venue that opens tomorrow. Essentially, this is the Paradise with a hardcore Vegas makeover. The more youthful shows won't work at all here, but this could be a goldmine for sheltered adults gettin' a sitta' for the rare night out.
