KC and the Sunshine Band: The Very
Best Of
CD Release Date: 1998 |
Since
the band hasn’t had an official release in recent years, they were
not promoting a particular album for this concert. I
chose the “Very Best of” CD for this page because it seems to best
represent the songs that I heard and the artwork reminds me of the
fireworks just prior to their performance. To date, the
band’s last CD was released in 2003 “Get Down Tonight” Greatest
Hits Live.”
This was my first time to see KC and the Sunshine Band and it was the first time I'd been to the Del Mar Fair. It was also the Fourth of July and I was in good company with Zack, Geri and John. All of these things made this a very special event. The last time I had been to a concert on the Fourth of July was 25 years ago when I saw Tanya Tucker at Knott's Berry Farm on July 4, 1981.
Our box section wasn't too close to the
stage, but it was nice to sit down for awhile. It did, however,
provide an excellent view
for the fireworks which
started about 9:00 PM. We were all very impressed with the display! When KC made his appearance on stage,
we quickly realized how far away we really were.
Geri and I made a dash for the “standing only” section in
front of the stage and never made it back to our seats.
Did I emphasize “standing?”
How can anyone stand at a KC and the Sunshine Band concert? Geri and I had our boogie shoes on had we shake shake shaked
our booty right until the final note of the encore. They performed many of their hits
including: (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your
Booty

The fair entrance was packed with food vendors. We didn't get too far for the first
hour. Some of the food was great and some was just plain
gross. After gawking at the incredibly disgusting Deep Fried Twinkies, we made our way through some of the carnival rides and exhibits,
then over to the Harrah's Grandstand Stage to take a look at our seats.
