I went to see the Blues Brothers at Universal Studios in Orlando and they were awesome! They got the look completely right and the sound to match!

I went to The Blues Brothers in Universal Hollywood and I didn't think that they were any good. All Wrong. Although I did get to see the Bluesmobile and I got a really good picture of me in front of a bunch of Blues Brothers posters.

The Hollywood guys are nice, they even posed for photos for me (This is them showing off their Jake and Elwood tattoos):
But the guys in Orlando are the most accurate, the dance moves are spot-on, I think they've spent a lot of time studying the old SNL videos :D

As much as I'd love to visit the Studio and see the Blues Brothers Tributes out there, it worries me that their attention to detail is way off when getting a replica Bluesmobile made for all the visitors to see...
Personally as a fan I would be really annoyed that it's not even the beautiful 1974 Dodge Monaco from the film that we all know and love so well.
Don't get me wrong... I'm all for people making their own replica Bluesmobiles from whatever car they choose (I actually owned a 1978 Datsun 280C back in the mid 80's that I painted up like the Bluesmobile) but when it's the actual Studio that uses a different car... it doesn't say much for their commitment.
Maybe they should have contacted Travis and borrowed his perfect replica Bluesmobile!

I have two videos that were taken at the Orlando Univeral Studios Blues Brothers performance of two different songs. The thing is I am not sure how to share them could you help?

Yeah, I've seen that Orlando show several times...the actors look good, have the right moves, music is good, but the car is always wrong (a Chevy!). Depending on what time you go, you get a different Jake and Elwood...it's a Union job, you know!
