The legendary John Waite will be performing his catalogue of hits from a 40-year career as a solo artist and with The Baby’s and Bad English on Saturday evening at the RocHaus in West Dundee.
Waite’s catalogue of hits features some of the most loved songs of the 80s and 90s – the #1 Worldwide hit ‘Missing You’, The Baby’s ‘Isn’t It Time’ and Bad English ‘When I See You Smile’ rank amongst some of his biggest international hits and are still heard on radio today. Others include ‘Tears’, ‘Change’ and ‘These Times Are Hard For Lovers’. ‘Every Step Of The Way’ and ‘If Anybody Had A Heart’ appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 Demi Moore film, About Last Night. ‘Deal for Life,’ penned by Martin Page and Bernie Taupin, was featured in the Days Of Thunder soundtrack.
As a solo artist and as the lead singer of The Baby’s and Bad English, Waite was a fixture of album-oriented rock radio stations during the ’70s and ’80s. He had a talent for power ballads and driving arena rock, occasionally touching on new wave-styled power pop as well.
Date/Time: Saturday, April 16, 7pm
Tickets: $60-$90, available here.
Location: The RocHaus, 96 West Main Street in West Dundee
