I was there last night, excellent show all around. I loved the part when he said White Sox 6 Detroit 5, the crowd cheered, then he goes Minnesota lost, loud cheers again, and then the Cubs lost, and of course loud cheers again. Gotta love the concerts on the southside. "You know what I like about this gig? I'll be home 20 mins after the show"

I will say that his band has really jelled and no question the song of the night was "100 years from now" that song is unbelievable live.

Kewl Vanish, my boyfriend absolutely LOVED "100 Years From Now" and wants the song as well as the others he did. "Castle Walls" was awesome too, and the Exorcist story still cracks me up. My boyfriend still talks about it when Dennis said to pretend that they went off the stage and we cheered them back on, gotta love Dennis' sense of humor too :lol:

100 Years kicks ass live, so much better live. I will say, I would pay full admission to see the band come on, perform Castle Walls, and leave. That song is an all-time concert favorite for me.

And I agree, Dennis's band rocks this time around. That guitar solo Tommy lays down at the end of Desert Moon (which is a great studio solo too) is awesome. Neal should actually listen to this and think about cutting down the 2+ fast runs per solo he's starting to cop more and more these days. Pure emotion and melody . The other guy can play too, don't know his name. He shreds on 100 Years
