Well the Rock and Roll Train rolled into Chicago these past few days and I was lucky enough to see the show last night.
First off great stage set up with the Huge Train uptop.
There is a great animated cartoon in the beginning of the show which kicks off the show nicely.
The band is full of energy as always
Angus well what can you say the guy is the greatest rock and roll - blues guitar player I have ever seen.
The setlist was good but not very creative.
Just the hits and great new tracks.
Biggest draw back for me was the show was just way to short
It started at 8.40 and was over at 10.15
The songs were being played at hyper speed so it seemed to go by very fast.

The best songs of the night Shoot To Thrill and Let There Be Rock.
These suckers kicked ass.

I would add Shot Down In Flames , Problem Child and Girls Got Rhythm to this setlist which would add about 20 min to the show and make it perfect all the way around.

A must see
Bring the ear plugs

Those guys sold nearly 900K of the new album in one week. They will be platinum probably within a week or two.

The old rockers till got it.

Bring the ear plugs

I'll bet!!

Any idea how many songs they played? thats a really short show for the kind of $$ they are getting for tickets. I tried for tickets in Toronto and Boston and got nothing they sold out pretty fast, guess I'll wait for summer and hopefully they will play the sheds. But it kinda turns me off to going with high ticket cost, short show and not being able to get tickets.

18 songs
The new songs are short
The encore was 8 min
Thats crazy
They should double that encore

Thanks for the review, Froy, seeing them in Atlanta on Dec 16th, seats on the floor, very excited, it's my husband's fav group but I know it'll be good.
