What can I say that hasn't already been said or stated over the years with the crazy public life of famous child actor Corey Feldman? I'll leave all that in the rear-view mirror and focus on what happened this musical night in Seattle at El Corazon.
Five years ago Corey Feldman and his Angels played the now defunct Studio Seven. Just like this packed show, both shows were equally entertaining, but this night was a whole other level! His new band was wayyyyy better and it totally upped Corey's performance and flow onstage!
Featuring Demetrius Martin (drums), Gregg Sartiano (guitar), Bentley Mitchum (bass) and the lone last angel and his wife Courtney Anne Feldman on keyboards, this combination was great and Corey fed off them ten-fold from the last time I saw him in concert.
With a setlist of 21 songs and nearly 2 hours of multiple Corey clothes changing, he achieved that feat by letting each member in the band sing a song while he was off changing. It was a pretty cool mix of original's and covers by the band members. The coolest one was when drummer Demetrius Martin came out front to sing the Ben E. King classic cover "Stand By Me". Corey Feldman went back on drums and played and even had a drum solo.
During the whole show there was a video screen in the back projecting various clips from movies he was in over the years and art work to albums. It was a great run down through memory lane with "Cry Little Sister" (The Lost Boys), "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough (The Goonies) (sang by Courtney Anne), etc. The energy and passion Corey left onstage was admiring. He's not the greatest singer, but he knows his limits and at times doesn't care pushing those boundaries. He was on fire and rocked it tonight!
Feldman is on the road in support of his new album Love Left 2: Arm Me With Love featuring the viral hit “Comeback King” featuring Curtis Young. Overall this was one hell of a fun show and one thing I question. Does Corey Feldman ever age? Ha!
