How else would you want to spend Valentine’s Day than with “the most romantic band in the world”?
No, we’re not talking about Slipknot — even though that Iowa metal act sure was great when it headlined the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento last year.
We’re actually talking about the equally awesome Air Supply, the duo that Time magazine reportedly once referred as “the most romantic band in the world.”
“We’ve been accused of that,” Air Supply lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock said to this newspaper in a previous interview. “And I accept that accusation wonderfully. We are romantic people. I think love is the most elusive emotion that has ever existed. That is why people continually fall in love, fall out love. They love their dogs. They love their cats. There is love everywhere.”
And there certainly should be plenty love in the air when Hitchcock and longtime collaborator Graham Russell revisit their hit-filled Air Supply catalog on Feb. 14 at the San Jose Civic.

It’s a chance to hear such world-class beauties as “The One That You Love,” “Every Woman in the World,” “Lost in Love,” “Here I Am” and, best of all, the staggeringly brilliant “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”
So, join the rest of the Airheads — a moniker that, in this case, isn’t an insult but rather an affectionate nickname for bigtime Air Supply fans — and enjoy a proper Valentine’s Day soundtrack.
Air Supply showtime is 8 p.m. Air Supply concert tickets start $81 (subject to change), ticketmaster.com.
