Arriving half an hour early before the doors had opened, I had come across a growing line to get in. This is The English Beat’s third time in Utah in a year. This shouldn’t be too surprising, as Utah’s musical backbone has always seemed a bit checkered. Despite my love for ska, getting me here took some persuasion. The last time I’d seen The English Beat was during a Canyons Resort gig on August 17, 2013 and it had been less than phenomenal. But then again, what does one expect at a resort gig? After some needling from my mate, which included lamenting about vocalist Dave Wakeling’s philosophy on music and blasting English Beat tunes while we were driving around, I decided to give this gig a shot. Besides, what else is there to do on a Wednesday night other than see a legendary band?
