SURRENDER (WITH BRAD WHITFORD)

 

Cheap Trick didn’t have good sound until the later part of their set.   It took quite a while to work out the sound problems.     The end of their set was great.  It sounded good and they rocked.  It wasn’t the best set list ever, but they are definitely one of the best live bands in rock.

It was hardly a surprise that Johnny Depp played tonight.    Watch for him at a concert near you soon!   He’ll probably be there!

 

With or without him, Aerosmith rocks.   What a solid live band.   This was a solid set that mixed it up quite a bit.   It was cool seeing Izzy Stradlin come out at the end and play some guitar.    Not too many bands this old can keep it together and rock as hard as Aerosmith does.    At this rate, they’ll still be touring into the 80s.  Cool.
